After the evacuation of Boston by
the British, Gen. Washington, with
the remains of his army, thinned by
the hardships of winter, hastened to
New York. On July 2 Gen. Howe—
being joined by his brother, Admiral
Lord Howe, nnd Sir Henry Clinton—
fourni himself at the head of 85,000
men ; defeated the Americans on Long
Island Aug. 27, 1770, compelled the
evacuation of New York and secured
possession of Its spacious harbor and
the Hudson river.
On Christmas night Gen. Washing­
ton by crossing In boats among float­
ing ice made a successful night attack
upon a Hessian force at Trenton and
gave now courage to the despairing
Americans, who recruited the army
and harassed the enemy with a win­
ter campaign.
In the meantime Silas Deane and
Benjamin Franklin had been sent to
France to solicit recognition aud aid.
'Flit» recognition was delayed, but Im­
portant aid was privately given in
money and supplies, and European
volunteers— the Marquis de Lafayette,
Baron Steuben, Baron de Kalb, Kos-
kiusco and Pulaski— rendered the most
Important services.
While Washington was contending
unsuccessfully against disciplined nnd
overwhelming forces In New Jersey,
Gen. Buijgoyne was leading an army
of 7,<X)0 British and German troops—
with h large force of Canadians and
Indians— from Canada Into northern
New York to form a junction with the
British on the Hudson and sepnrute
New England from the rest of the
confederacy. After two sharp actions
at Stillwater and Saratoga, with but
three days’ rations left he was com-
jielled to capitulate on Oet. 17; und
England, in the midst of victories,
heard with dismay of the loss of an
entire army. The Americans gained
5,000 muskets and a large train of
artillery.
Franco recognized American Inde­
pendence and sent a lurge fleet and
supplies of clothing, arms und muni­
tions of war to their aid ; und Gen.
Clinton, who lmd superseded Gen.
Howe, timllng Ills supplies at Phila­
delphia threatened, retreated to New-
York, defeating the Americans at Mon­
mouth, N. J.
In 1705 tlie passing of un act of
parliament for collecting a colonial
revenue by stamps caused general In-
i!l 'nation and led to riots. The first
Colonial congress, consisting of "8
delegates representing nine colonies,
made a statement of grievances and
a declaration of rights. The stamps
were destroyed or shipped back to
England. In 1700 the stamp act was
riqiealed, to the great Joy of the col-

Do You Buy a Motor Car “ Sight Unseen V
You see the vital aspect of a ear only by the way long, hard
service affects it. W ill it become loose and noisy? Grow
wasteful of oil and fuel? Lose efficiency? Require replace­
ments, frequent repairs and adjustments? Or will it remain
free of these disablities?
THERE IS A SIMPLE WAY TO TELL.
This is unquestionably the Best Car on the market
to-day selling under $1425,00.

Not by a mere salesroom examination. That cannot
show the differences which make some cars continue to
serve reliably and economically for years. It cannot show !
superiorities o f mechanical design, nor the painstaking ;
workmanship on details that in all likelihood you will nev­
er see.
!
And even a demonstration tells nothing o f how a car •
will wear in steady service.
Bu it is easy to find and examine the real proofs.
,
What have cars o f the same make shown over a period ;
of several
years?
j
What is the future expectancy o f good service from
such cars after twenty or thirty thousand miles.
You have the all-important advantage of being able to
ask owners. Make use o f it. Find out how the car you
are thinking of buying has served other owners. Learn
what mileage they get on gasoline, oil and tires. Is the
second or the third 10,000 miles more costly than the first?
Is it just as satisfactory in performance? Would that
owner buy another car o f the same make?
Of course there are basic reasons why Essex diffei-3
from other light cars—why,owners compare it to costly X
cars.
;j;
And wre will be glad o f an early opportunity to explain X
the many points o f advantage that costly cars share with X
Essex.
