 At Low Price

Regard the Essex in the light of it's perform ance It isn't fair to think of it merely as a light weight car when you consider the qual- lty of it's materials or what it does.
 Every owner compares his Essex to the per- formance of large costly cars
 Haven't you noticed how everyone speaks of Essex performance?
 And now they include praise of Essex reli- ability. They tell you how their car calls for no tinkering. Anyone who can handle wrench can keep the Essex in sweet running condition.
 Its reliability comes from the sturdiness of it's construction. Particular motorists abhor squeaks and rattles. An unusually strong and stiff frame minimizes such possibilities in the Essex

WEST SENDS TIP
 TO PROSPECTS"
Don't Take Cars Action for
 Granted,' Is Advice

It has been remarked by a great many people that the residents of the far west are much more enthusiastic and inter ested over an enduSance run of an auto mobile than their fellow countrymen of the eastern section of the ciuntry.
 That is not due to the fact that the westerner, as fiction writers would have us believe, has more sporting blood in his veins,' says John D. Mansfield of the Dort Motor Car company. "It is based upon the fact that the ability of motor car to travel long distances and endure grilling hardships of road and clements means more in the west than in the east.
 .'The very nature of the country makes for this. Distances in the west are greater between towns and cities, between service stations and even between places where water for tn radiator can be ob- tained. The westerner must look for sta- bility and endurance in an automobile above all other things.
 ITO the customer, whose longest jour- ney does not get him more than five miles away from help in case of accident or mishap, it is hard to conceive of the perils of being stranded 90 or 100 miles from any assistance. He simply takes it for granted that his car will perform. If it doesn't it is inconvenient but not necessarily vital.
 But in reality the indorsement of the west on the value of an automobile should be given consideration all over the coun- try"

Ship By Truck

The already wide economic range of the motor truck has been ampIified in southern California by the transportation of deadly poisonous gas, which is sue cessfully combating the destructive black scale and which the railroads refuse to transport because of the poisonous prop critics it contains
 The gas, which carries large percent age of cyanide, was perfected last year after exhaustive experiments, and toSaay 1t is one of the important industries of Azura, in the center of the orange belt. The gas is confined in tanks, each weigh ing about l0 pounds. and then transport ed to the orange groves, where it is released under canvas covering which entirely envelopes the tree affected with the blight. After investigation, the rail- roads refused to handle this new inven- tlon because if the gas should leak from the tanks. it would endanger the life of any one who entered the car The manufacturers then fell back upon the truck to solve the problem of transpor- tation, and that it is doing it in an en- ttrely satisfactory manner is proved by the excellent service maintained as far north as Bakersfield and as far south as San Diego.
 From the small beginning the transfer company, which has the contract for transporting the gas. will soon have a fleet of five trucks almost constantly in operation, and in all proba ability this num-

 To increase the efficiency of it's long distance hauling of the gas, the Azusa Transfer company recently replaced the solid tires on it's two-ton trucks with giant United States Hobby Cord tires

 This company is operating over a wide range of territory and it is to it's in. terest to cover as much ground as pis- sible. and at the same tme hold down overhead and truck depreciation. The company was satisfied that Giant pneu- matics were the answer. and under stand they are thoroughly convinced their decision was the correct one The Giant pneumatic is theA solution of the long haul problem.
 "On Giant pneumatics we cover just twice as much ground as we did on solids We secure as high as IS to r miles to the gallon of gas where we formerly averaged around six and seven to the gallon. A two-ton truck now makes the round trip to San Diego and vicinity in about 17 hours. With solids it required almost twice as long The big tires are easier on the chassis and On the goods that are hauled The in- itial cost is more, but the saving ef- fected and the increased earning capac- ity of the truck far outweigh that" said an official of the transfer company

LABOR DAY RACES MARKED END OF A
 SUCCESSFUL SEASON
Remarkable Wear Shown by Tires One Feature of
 This Season

Labor Day saw the last big automo- hile race of the season at Uniontown, Pa. The season has been a remarkably successful one from the racing stand point. and much interest was shown in all the events, thousands of people turn ing out at every course
 The close of the season at Uniontown was no exception, and the big crowd was given many thrills as the speedsters tore around the track for over two hours Joe Boyer, driving a Frontenac. had the honor of winning this lastx race of the 1919 season. and it is the first time during the year that he had won brack- cts. Roscoe Sarles, in a Philbrin. was second, while Louis Chevrolet, driving a FTontenac, took third money. All three of the winners were on Goodyear cords. and the time was ? hours 24 minutes and 19:6S seconds, a pace of 931a miles per hour. There was very little tire trouble among the winners, Sarles making a non stop run. Tommie Milton, the hero of the other two Uniontown events earlier in the season, had bad luck in the Labor Day race. His car caught fire near the end of the contest and burned up Both Milton and his mechanic were badly burned, but their injuries are not dan gerous.
 Looking back over the seasons racing events, it is interesting to note that every winner in the main events have been on Goodyear cord tires. Cliff Durant won the first big race at Santa Monica, driv- ing his Chevrolet special, on March 15. beating Eddie Hearne, -LeCocq and Pull len. Roscoe Sarles won first money at Los Angeles on March 2, driving a Roamer Tommie Milton won the Union t~-- @-cs-. May 10 in a Duesenberg.
