He made the trip from the Isle in the Ocean, Wednes- day, in a sixteen-foot open motor boat, carrying the mail to Newport, with a boy sixteen years of age as the mail messenger. He had also two women passengers. .The sea was very rough and_the cold intense, and although used to tHe hardships of the sea, the captain would have turned back if the women had not expressed a desire to proceed. He believed he was better able to stand the trip than they were. The maifl boy was neutral, and felt safe with the captain in charge of the craft. It was a tough trip, but New- port was reacheq in safety. James R. Briggs, 72, died from Neart trouble at his home in Davisville after two years' illness.

You rarely maintain that speed f than an hour or two. - Still if your car should go through the season with that kind of performance wouldn’t you be pleased How -much more trying to every item ot its mechanism were every one of those high speed miles thgn any demand you will make. _ Almost as astounding as its endurance was its tire v The front wheel tires went through all three trials without change. Two rear tires were replaced because of damage done by splinters from the board sur- faced track. experi Application was made last April.to con- duct stock reliability tests under the Associa- tion rules. Since then close to 15,000 cars have been delivered and the Essex used in this test is officially vouched for as being identical with every Essex ‘built. pleted under American Automobile Association observation on ti Speedway, December 12. It was the first official test ever made iven at top speed for fifty hours. ) 5,870 Miles in 94 Hours Minutes Driving Time Doesn’t It Settle the Light Car Question? Light weight in an automobile has meant principally moderate price and perhaps gas- oline and tirc economy. There was enough speed and power to get about but none that gave distinction on the road. Fineness and performance were not expected. But the Essex brought fine car quality to the light car field. Its appearance gave it immediate = distinction. Its performance placed it in the large costly car class. - -Only in size, cost and economy of gasoline, oil and tires was it compared to cafs in the mod- erate price field. Is it any wonder that motorists have praised the Essex as they have? It gave them just what they had wanted. It was the way by which they could keep their motoring costs down and still have a car that filled their demands in performance, appear- ance and endurance, So Make Sure You Can - " Get an Essex Every Essex delivered has resulted in an increased demand. The purchases grew to more than thirty-five million dollars within cleven months. Its 20,000 owners are ad- ding to the demand that is rolling up for next spring deliveries. We are already booking them. There is no possibility that all buy- ers can be served. Now is the time when you should.make reservation. This' latest proof will decide thousands who have wait- ed for just such evidence that the Essex is as good as people have said it is. THE BARRETT-HUDSON CO. 324 Main Street, Norwich, Conn.
