The speeds at which they Travelled were
not so unusual for another Essex stock car
had on speedway track gone 3037 miles in
SO hours. But in the transcontinental runs.
some $50 cities and towns had to be crossed.
Crowded traffic imposed it's 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 give
some appreciation of Essex reliability.

fuel that has been developed by the
chemists of the Army Air Service. They
have the formula, however, and will
attempt to make sufficient fuel for the
needs of their machine in France.
The party was originally scheduled
to sail on the transport Pocahontas,
but change in sailing dates made it
necessary for them to leave on the
Antigone. The latter vessel probably
will take eleven days to reach Antwerp,
and when the party reaches Paris there
will be very little time for practice
flights before the preliminaries Of the
big race begin.
The race is scheduled to take place
between September q and October 8.
The personnel of the army sailing yes
terday consisted of the following:
Captain Kilner, in command; Captain
Schroeder, chief pilot; Captain Corliss
G. Moseley, alternate pilot; Lieutenant
A. |. Puryear, in charge of supplies,
and staff of expert aviation and
engine mechanics.

Two Essex touring cars, carrying U. S. Mail,
each one making the entire trip between San
Francisco and New York, have set the time
records for their respective directions across
the American continent
And thus comes to Essex another dstinc-
ton for reliability and endurance.
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
hundred miles.
From Cheyenne to Omaha the route taken
by the Essex was 43 miles longer than the
$50 mile route of the famous Overland Limited
yet the Essex time was but one hour longer
than the express train time.
