Prosper-1 ity Is universal. The remarkable exhibit at this year's automobile show, once more ; shows Hudson-Essex in a position of creative leadership. As last year the one outstanding fact was the general swing toward the closed car. at an open car price, which Hudson-Essex had pioneer ed, so this year the critics seem agreed that the greatest popular interest "in the six cylinder en closed cars selling in the less than $1,000 field. They assert this . is so because cars of this description have shown a most remarkable growth this last year and because more new cars of this sort are being in troduced to the public than any other general classification. Mod ern traffic conditions favor them, and the public is turning to them. This being true, the spotlight will show brightly on the Essex Coach, for this is the undented pioneer in this broad and growing field. Two years ago It was first offered at the 'New York show at a time, in fact, when a six cyl inder enclosed car at the price had never before been though of Since that pioneer step Essex has had nearly two years of remark able business as a result of its leadership; and as its business has increased it has passed along its volume-saving in a series of price reductions.
