Another So Essex i Two Essex touring cars, carrying U.S. Mail, each one making the entire trip between San Francisco and New York, have seét the time records for their respective directions across the American continent. . And thus comes to Essex another distinc- tion for reliability and endurance. hundred Except for one airplane record, these two Essex cars have crossed the continent in less time than was ever recorded by any travelling machine. The fastest time possible between San Francisco and New York by train is slightly less than the time taken by the light weight economical Essex. But in the case of the railroad train, many different locomotives are used, each pulling the train only a few . miles. Essex Going From New York to San Francisco Broke the Record "cr Thot Direction by 22 Hours 13 Min., Completing the Trip. : In 4 Days 19 Hours 17 Minutes . : olds the Transcontinental Record Both Ways The speeds at which they traveled were not so unusual, for another Essex stock car had on a speedway track.gone 3037 miles in 50 hours. But in the transcontinental runs, some 350 cities and towns had to be crossed. Crowded traffic imposed its obstacles to con- sistent going. Mountain ranges in the East and West with grades such as the average driver never encounters, called for the utmost of hill climbing ability. Few will ever motor all the way. across. America and therefore cannot know the extreme varieties of conditions encountered. But let each reader apply to his consideration of what Essex has done, every experience he has ever met in his own driving. It will zive some appreciation of Essex reliability. From Cheyenne to Omaha the route taken by the Essex was 43 miles longer than the 550 mile route of the famous Overland Limited yet the Essex time was but one hour longer than the From the days of the Prairie Schooner, the Pony Express and the completion of the rail- roads men have sought to establish new trans- continental time records hetween the Atlantic express train time, The World’s Most ' Coveted Records Mgt e and Pacific oceans. It has called for the highest development of skill and courage. And it has, as in the case of the motor car, blazed the way to mechanical reliability. Y The purpose of this Essex test:was to prove its reliability. In the period of 114 hours 4 was crowded more ‘strains,¥ more calls for : endurance and mechanical strength than the avemge owner demands in a life time. --Bvery requirement of motor car 3 ance was miet by these two cafs.

Essex has led the way for that was its purpose from the very first. Economy is of . growing importance. Men want to save in fuel and in first costs. But they want no sacrifice in performance and they demand unquestioned reliability. Essex offered itself to the pubhc mfhout ‘claim. Now more than 40.000 owners know and praise its worth. 7 Owner cars that had been ariven upwards of 25,000 miles were used in the recent nation wide Essex week to establish reliability, eco- nomy, speed and hill climbing records. g+ o Essex owners the winning of the trans-" continental records is not a surprise. * But those who do not know Essex performance and reliability must regard that these two trips across the continent are as important in narking mechanical advancement as any - similar event in the hlstory of the motor car. ‘* ERNEST WHITE, Dealer 191 NORTH MAIN smm NORWICH CONN.
