Light Weight Not1
Establishes Reliability

How gradual have men come to rea1za-
ton that a light weight car can also offer
reliance and performance.
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 public without
claim. Now more than 10000 owners know
and praise its worth.
Owner cars that had been driven upwards
Of 25, 900 miles were used in the recent nation
wide Essex week to establish reliability, eco
noray, speed and hill climbing records.
To Essex owners the winning of the trans
continental records is not surprise But
those who do not know Essex performance
AID reliability must regard that these two
trips across the continent are as important In
marking mechanical advancement as any
similar event in the history of the motor car

The speeds at which they travelled were
not so unusual for another Essex stock car
had on a speedway track gone 3O37 miles in
so hours. But in the transcontinental runs,
some $50 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. 1t will give
some appreciation of Essex reliability.

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 distinc-
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 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.

The Works Nest
Coveted Records

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 between the Atlantic
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 b1azed the way to mechanical
reliability.
The purpose of this Essex test was to
prove its reliability Ia the period of ia hours
was crowded more strains, more calls for
endurance and mechanical strength than the
average owner demands in life time.
Every requirement of motor perform
ance was met by these two cars. And the fact
that they so consistently met their tasks
proves Essex uniformity.

dianapolis another great advantage in
that the Hoosler capital is near the

State Treasurer Points Out
Vital Need of Houses for

CTTYs BIG DRAWBACK

Calling attention to the steadily
increasing need for better housing
facilities, especially in industrial Sec
tions of indianapolis, w McMurtrie,
treasurer Of the state, who is also in
amxested in industrial enterprises, to-
asserted that the lack of houses
perhaps the greatest drawback to

lies OF the city proceed at once to
! Re a survey of the city's needs and

evident to me that the people Of Indian
apoIis have no conception of the ire
mendous growth of the city, and espe-
eially the great growth of the automobile
industries Of the city and their asso-
ciated Industrial lines" said Mr. McAIur-
trie. 1T will surprise the majority of

comforts and are able and willing to pay
for them.
al have recently learned that in Mum
Gle number of business men, aroused
ever the deplorable lack Of houses there,
have begun active steps to relieve the
situation by collective action in a big
building program, and in addition to
1 the collective effort, each man has indi-
yidually pledged that he will erect at
least one house out OF his private funds.
''If the Chamber Of Commerce, the Real
Estate Board and other similar orRani-
cations Of indianapolis could get together
and either officially or unofficially launch
, a program for the building of 1000 or
more good houses in the industrial sec
tons of the city the situation would
then begin to look more rosy for the
city's industrial expansion.
HOUSING SITUATION
CITY'S DRAWBACK.
"As it is, this housing situation is
the chief detriment Indianapolis has to
situation that can not be solved by
the scratch of n pen or an official eddct.
Building houses is q matter of time, as
well as labor and money. But the point
is that the civic bodies of Indianapolis
should awake now to It's Importance.
I'm the spring Indianapolis will be
perhaps one of the very busiest cities
in the country, and with the high wages
paid here and multiplying opportunities
for the employment of high priced labor,
there Is no doubt in my mind that there
will be a natural influx Of new workers
who will be home-seekcrs. II conditions
are so bad now what will we do in the
spring when industry really opens up
or tries to-full blast1
1.-THE Chamber Of Commerce is doing a
good work in selling the country on the
idea that indianapolis is the real
economic point for production and dis

the people TO be told that the west side
section Of the city needs now, 1000 more
houses Lack of these, housessis proving
a great handicap to the industrial plants
Of the west side. Big institutions that
are expanding their plants and putting
on new laborers are finding that they
are able to increase their production
forces only by little hanefuls instead OF
in larger numbers because Of the housing
situation.
HOLDING OWN
IN MAIN SECTION.
indianapolis is pretty we'll holding
its own when it comes to the erection OF
apartment houses and private homes In
the main section of the city, and this Is
all well enough, but 1t does not reach
the situation.
1.-The localities near the big factories are
in need of hundreds of new houses. These
houses should be modern, Of course, and
nicely surrounded, for they will be rented
or perhaps bought by skilled workmen
who command the highest wages-men
who are the meat and bread of the
merchants and the business concerns Of
the city In some cases 1 know of two
or more families occupying a single
house in the west side because Of lack
of available places for residence. The
doubling of the Nordyke & Marmon plant
and the trebling of the plant of the
Robbins Body Corporation, these plants
being close together on the west side
have, in these two instances alone,
created a tremendous demand for homes.
"These are but two Of many indus
trial concerns that are in the midst of
great expansion There are many smaller
concerns reaching the point where they
must have more skilled labor and many
new concerns starting up as witness
the plant of the Lafayette Motors Com
pany. When the skilled laborers can be
employed they are confronted with a
painful dearth of places in which to

live so as to be convenient to their
work.
NEW WORKERS
HIGHLY PAID.
MANY Of the men now being added to
the industrial pay rolls of Indianapolis
are of the highest skilled class of men,
who are earning high wages. In the case
of the Robbins Body Corporation, the
work is such that only skilled men can
be used and with the company con-
tracted up to 1921 for its entire possible
output and needing hundreds of high
skilled body makers, the housing sit
uation rears a barrier which has a ten
dency greatly to handicap the industry.
These workmen, like others in the au
tomobile and kindred lines of manufac
ture, are earning from minimum Of $50
per week to as high az 1928 week.
These men want good homes and home
