An Essex stock chassis set the worlds So

officially certified by the American Automobile
Association And Essex holds the worlds
mark OF 1901 road miles in "a hours. A stock
touring car did that.
Local road, speedway and hill-climbing

proved the endurance that 10000 owners find

But It is not only in performance that Essex

The people over in the south and

made up their minds that West Tex
as doesn't need an agricultural col
lege or anything else in the way OF
state institutions. The fact has been
demonstrated that those people are

most entirely different. The young
farmer who has been educated in

there must learn over when he comes
to the West.
The figures have been produced to
prove the injustice of forcing West
Texas boys to pay for long travel

healthful altitude to get the techni-
cal knowledge to equip him for his
life work in West Texas. The facts
have also been shown that West Tex
