Do You Look Forward To a
Good N ig h t’s R est?
Do you regularly anticipate a
refreshing sleep? Or do you
dread going to bed, only to stare,
sleepless, at the walls? The
difference between sleeping and
staring is simply a matter of
nerves.
W hen your nervous system
is in a sound condition, you are
certain to sleep well. But when
your nerves are worn out and
beyond your control, your rest
is broken and your awakening
leaves you languid and irritable.
Doctors know that much of
the nerve disorders result from
tea and coffee drinking. The
drugs in these drinks over-stimu-
late, often causing the serious ills
which result from disturbing the
regular bodily functions. It is for
your health’s sake that many
doctors now say you should quit
tea and coffee. Drink Postum,
the delicious meal-time beverage
instead! in flavor it is much like
coffee.
Postum is fundamentally a
nerve strengthener because it
lets you get sound, restful sleep.
Postum is a skilfully-made cereal
beverage, and the secret of its
popularity is its protection to
health and its delicious flavor.
Ask your grocer for Postum.
Drink this hot, refreshing bever
age in place of tea or coffee for
10 days and see what a wonder
ful difference it will make in the
way you feel.
Postum comes in two forms: Instant
Postum (in tins) made instantly in the
cup by the addition of boiling water.
Postum Cereal (in packages of larger
bulk, for those who prefer to make the
drink while the meal is being prepared)
made by boiling for 20 minutes.

From the first Essex appealed to me because it does what
costlier and larger cars do and at small car cost in fuel, oil and
tires.
The New Improved Essex adds gasoline mileage. Oil econ
omy is greater, although old Essex cars averaged around 300
miles to the quart. Its tires often give 10,000 to 15,000 miles
of service. New cord tires are standard equipment and greatly
increase tire mileage.
Old Essex owners hardly understand how reliability could
be increased. Many—hundreds, in fact—report upward <tf
30,000 and 40,000 miles of service, with incredibly small repair
A BETTER CAR FOR
LESS MONEY'
All the advantages of the original Essex are retained. The
pride of ownership is greater. You can tum it in narrow
streets. It finds room in small parking spaces. It is small and
light and yet commodious, safe and comfortable.
The New Improved Essex expresses the new day meaning
of refinement—of reduced weight—freedom from unnecessary
bulk, and the finest mark of motoring luxury.
When Essex is considered, size and price do not mark the
standard of jear quality or value.
We want you to know that—a ride will prove it.
