yh point of AEKt
ESSEX selling records
With Super-Six owners by tens of thousands,
repeating on Essex, the most spontaneous wel
come ever extended a 6-cylinder car has brought
hosts of car owners from every price and size
field to Essex the Challenger.
Its acceptance is the talk everywhere. Again and
again the largest production ever planned by
Essex has had to be increased to meet this re
markable demand.
The results of Challenger Week by nation-wide
proofs in performance, reliability and economy
have extended the advantages of this big, fine
car with the force of universal appeal.
With its open challenge,
that excepts no car
with its 24rf, greater
power and 70-mile-an-hour
performance
with its greater beauty,
ndult-size capacity, riding
ease and economy
and with its brilliant
chassis quality and line,
large bodies Essex estab
lishes also an outstanding
leadership in obvious VAL
t'K. It offers an ensemble
of fine car equipment i Jen-

tified only with costly cars,
and available, when at all,
only as "extras," at extra
cost on cars of Essex price.
In Essex the Challenger
a complete, fine, big "Six"
these items of course are
standard.
They represent several
hundred visible dollars'
worth of additional value,
and are another reason for
the enormous success,
which Essex the Challenger
lr.is enjoyed from the outlet.

A Name that is Gold in the -Night
The names of men and products are lifted above the
average through distinguished service or accomplish
ment. Such are the names that help to brighten any
Broadway names that are gold in the night. The
General Tire is one.
Now, more than ever before, the confidence In
General's policy of absolute maintenance of quality is :
shown by the big swing to General's everywhere ...
a confidence that has been earned through General's
policy of not tampering with quality. ...
This is the reason you hear users everywhere speak of
General in termsot almostunbelievaMe.rnileage, com
for' and safety. In a brief period of ten years the
' na"e General Tire has taken first place in car-owner .
. preference. . . . . , , '.

lrld's Easiest Driving Control
NO OTHER CAR in all the world
controls quite so easily with
such complete lack of effort as the
new Nash "400";
Nash engineers have developed a
new steering mechanism to achieve
this result. An ingenious arrangement
of roller bearings and a roller-tooth
traveling in a worm gear, reduces fric
tion to a minimum hitherto thought
impossible.
Women drivers find new help and
gain new confidence in parking. Little
effort Is needed to bring the "400":
up to, or away from, the curb.
' Gear shifting is just as easy. The
400". clutch pedal depresses at a
touch, scarcely resisting the weight of
your foot. The conveniently placed
shifting lever moves smoothly, easily,
from one speed to another.
If you ever find that driving a car
tires you, try driving a Nash v400".
It will give you an entirely new con
ception of how effortless, how pleas
urable, motoring can be!
