that which Is both true and equiv

certain now famous breakfast food
manufacturers. Its addition to
their products enabled them to

1HE world's largest sale of 6-cylinder
cars became an Essex achievement solely
because of merit. '
All 6-cylinder sales records are swept aside
in the enthusiastic reception everywhere
accorded the New Essex Super-Six. Many
communities report 100, 200, even
300 greater sales than for the corre
sponding period of last 'ear, which was
the former all-time Essex record.
Greater in power, more versatile in all
performance, large, roomier and more
beautifully appointed, the New Essex
Super-Six gloriously earns its richer re
ward in even greater popularity than its
predecessor.
The exclusive, high-compression Super
Six motor that turns waste heat to power,
develops the greatest power per cubic inch
of piston displacement of any stock motor
we know in the world.
In all ways the New Essex Super-Six is
engineered to the lowest operation and
maintenance costs. And increasing thou
sands of owners rolling up thousands of
miles of service prove that these qualities
which delight you on your first ride are
just as lasting as they are brilliant.
