In performance as well as appearance, the
Essex Super-Six is an entirely new car.
It reveals the capacity of the Super-Six
principle. It attains an engineering triumph
in low maintenance and operating cost.
It" possesses such stamina that 50 miles an
hour all day long is an easy accomplishment.
And so nimble and alert is its action that no
car will surpass the quickness with which it
may be driven through traffic or in touring,
whether the trip is one of a few city blocks
or hundreds of miles. To both driver and
passengers, there is rare comfort in any kind
of going.
Unusual accessibility means big savings in
replacement, service and all shop work.
Economy in fuel and oil is also a notable
feature of the new Essex Super-Six.
With four beautiful new bodies all smart
in line, finish and upholstery, it is easily the
paramount value of Essex history.

Sqoeaksaiia
Noises
Th Weather!
I When you drive your car down the street or out on the high
way are you bothered by too many squeaks and too much en
gine noise to suit you? Most cars are that way in the winter
time.
But you can't blame it all on the winter weather there are
other ' reasons. How long since you had the car greased all
around? Probably longer than you think it's easy to forget
greasing in the winter time when most driving is brief. That
may remedy a lot of the squeaky places and it's a good guard
against repair bills, too.
And how long since the oil was drained in your crankcase?
How much of the time do you run with the choker partly out?
That's something you forget about in cold weather, too. Gaso
line gets mixed with your engine oil it is thinned down
loses its lubricating quality. Engine noise and engine wear is
sure to result.
' .
Try a crankcase full of Golden Texaco. Just try it-kecn
check on it. Examine its body the next time your oil is drained.
Texaco flows at zero, retains strong lubricating body. Hundreds
of motorists in this territory have become exclusive Texaco
users after making personal tests.
, Drive in or if you're busy, phone Main 165 and let
iis get your car, service it, and return it. That's one
feature of Playle's Superior Service.
