Bending
Of THE CASING
And Most of Tire Wear Is
Avoided; Initiation Com
monty Neglected.

Initiation pressure is a topic which
every motorist has heard discussed
and about which thousands Of words
have been written. yet. judging from
the questions asked and the opinions
frequently advanced the entire sub
ject is all Greek TO many autoisls-
The sole purpose OF initiating tire
Is to support the weight upon it
without excessive bending OF the cas-
ing" declared Henry SWeartngen,
southwest distributor for Kelly
Springfield tires and tubes. IF the
motorists realized that 1t is the air,
not the casing, that really supports
the car. and that the casing IS simply
a container for the air, more atten-
ton would be paid 10 obtaining prop
er initiation
The amount Of pressure required
depends upon the weight Of the load
in its relation 10 the size OF the tire.
The larger the tire in proportion to
its load, the lower the pressure need
be.
Consider, for instance.' said Mr..
Swearingen, "a Kelly tire mounted on
a spare rim and bearing only It's own
weight on the garage floor. The tire
will retain its contour with but slight
air pressure in the tube. II this same
tire is applied to the wheel OF light
runabout, somewhat greater pres

q
tire then be mounted on a heavy
touring car OF double the weight OF
the roadster, twice the pressure per
inch Of cross section Will need to be
carried TO prevent undue flattening.
Now many motorists believe that
as the weight OF the car is increased
the initiation pressure becomes great
er. As a matter OF .act the pressure
on a tire comes from the air pressure
within the walls and this pressure
cannot be increased through the ex-
ternal application Of a load. unless
the volume Of air space is decreased
When a tire is overloaded. or I'M
derinflated. the tire flattens more or
less. But such flattening OF the tire
will scarcely decrease the volume OF
air space because the cross section OF
the tire will increase in width as II
decreases in height.
Let me give you an illustration,
continued Mr.. Swearingen- NO sane
man would erect a one story building
on a foundation that was just suffi-
cient to sustain the load Of the one
story, and then. without strengthen
ing the foundation. add another story
or a couple OF stories. The building
would soon begin to sag. and sooner
or later would collapse That is Just
what happens to a tire when the
owner OF a heavy, or medium heaVy
car keeps the foundation Of the car
the air-at a pressure sufficient only
for a car OF considerably lighter
Mr.. swearingen is careful to ex-
plain to buyers OF Kelly tres me ne
cessity for carrying sutIicienr ar

that by keeping a Kelly tire proper

Sweden Ordered 5
Then Cabled for 70

The first shipment of Essex cars reached
Sweden few days ago. The initial order was
for s. But on the day they were unlOaded the
dealer cabled for IS to be shipped Immediately
That Is significant. for Sweden IS one Of the
countries where gasoline costs nearly dollar a
gallon. Even before the war European countries
did not take readily to American cars. Only the
light. small. inexpensive cars had market then.
Cost of operation was the big item. Gasoline
and oil prices made large cars impractical
But the Essex just met the needs. 1t has The
sturdiness and dependability Europeans had never
attributed to moderate priced American cars. The
Essex met their demands for economy and low op-
Grating cost
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1919-08-23

Surely no car has ever equaled the Essex IN the
way II has been endorsed by the public. From the
very first it has been advertised Just we said 1t
would be, by what people had to say for 1t.
You remember we announced the Essex would
have to speak for itself Its fate was left with the
people. And now you can judge what the verdict
has been.

Such production would be large for many
older organizations. But It Is not half equal to
the demand that there IS for the Essex.

The result VIII be interesting. You aren't
likely to hear single adverse criticism. But you
will probably conclude everyone IS interested IN
selling you an Essex.

But the Essex seems to have filed the need as
we expected It would. 1t answers the demand for

and maintenance situation and. of course II graft
fies the taste in appearance and performance.

That is the Essex
Selling Force

1t Is Just what you viii hear from any group Of
motorists. Everyone seems bent on telling every
one else what fine car the Essex is.
Note the manner IN which they praise II. Peo-
pie judge it IN comparison with other cars Of merit
that they know.
That probably explains why Essex performances
and quality is compared to large. high priced au-
tomobiles.
There IS no other measure BY which Essex can
be described.

Your enthusiasm viii be as great as It now Is
