Greatest Triumph
with even Greater%ilues
At the highest pinnacle of Essex popularity—with the record
breaking sales of all time—with stocks swept clean, and
thousands upon thousands of unfilled orders—we abruptly
stopped the largest production in our history, to give this
Greater Essex right of way.
The industry does not record a '
like decision. Yet one glance—
one ride in the New Essex Super
Six reveals the startling reasons
that prompted it. If thousands
praised the former Essex, then
tens of thousands must applaud
the new. If all sales records were
surpassed by the former Essex,
then even higher marks must
reward the new.
No previous car — no previous
> value — gives anything by which
to judge it. It is the greatest
achievement in Essex history.
We are now showing this Greater
Essex Super-Six. We could say it is
longer, roomier, more luxurious,
with greater power and perform
ance—yet that does not express it.
We do say: “See it and ride
in it with greater expecta
tion of fine things than you
ever held for any but the
costliest cars". You will not
be disappointed.
Only by ordering promptly can
you insure delivery ahead of in
creasing thousands who want it.

►Sir Johm MacDomald
On July 1. Dominion Day, Canada
l began the celebration of her sixtieth
birthday as a united Dominion. This
Diamond Jubilee of Confederation
has unique significance in modern
-history as being In effect a tribute
to the Importance of rail communi
cation. The world readily ac'.titowl
j edges today that railways greatly help
in uniting a scattered and far-flung
' population. But Canada’s case is
' unique because Its first transconi. -
uental railway alone made complete
confederation a reality Instead of a
' mere desirable policy.
Canada’s confederation began with
ithe passage of the British North
America Act on July 1. 1867. the
I members at that time comprising
Upp«y Canada. Lower Canada. Nova
(Scotia and New Brunswick. In 1868
jan Imperial Order in Council gave
Rupert's Land and the North-West
Territories to the Hedging Dominion.
Manitoba entered Confederation m
1870, followed by British Columbia
in 1871. The latter, however, had
written Into the Terms of Union a
clause binding Canada to build with
in ten years a railway "to connect
the seaboard of British Columbia
with the railway system of Canada.’
The Canadian government first at
tempted to build the railway; then
Premier Sir John Macdonald ap
proached George 3tephen (afterwards
Lord Mount Stephen), a Montreal
banker, who In October of 1880 or
ganized the Canadian Pacific Railway
Company, and Agreed to complete
the railway by May 1. 1891.
Despite colossal obstacles, the Can
adian Pacific completed the railway

sister provinces, and the most critical
period of Canadian history bad »'
happy ending. On Nov. 7, 1885, Don
ald A. Smith (afterwards Lord Strath-1
cona), drove the last spike on the
Canadian Pacific Railway, uniting,
the rails stretching westward from’
the Atlantic Ocean and those east-,
ward from the Pacific at Cralgel-'
