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 tion 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.1 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 rniles. From Cheyenne to Omaha the route taken by the Essex was 43 miles longer than the 550 mile route of the famous Overland Limited yet the Essex time was but one hour longer . than the express train time. 1 " The World's Most Coveted Records J 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. N - It has called for the highest development of skill and courage. And it has, as in the case of the motor car, blazed the way to mechanical reliability. - - . 'V. . The purpose of this Essex test was to prove its reliability. In the period of 114 hours Was crowded more strains, more calls for endurance and mechanical strength than the average owner demands in a life time. Every iwiirement of motor car perform ance was met by these two cars. And thefact that they so consistently met their tasks ves Essex un-iornmy- The speeds at which they traveled were not so unusual, for another Essex stock car had on a speedway track gone 3037 miles in 50 hours. But in the transcontinental -runs, some 350 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. It will give some appreciation of Essex reliability. Light Weight Now Establishes Reliability How gradual have men come to a realiza tion' 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 40.000 owners know and praise its worth. ' " Owner cars tbat haa 'been driven upwards of 25,000 miles were used in the recent nation wide Essex week to establish reliability, eco nomy, speed and hill climbing records. - To Essex owners the winning of the trans continental records is not a surprise. But those who do not know Essex performance and 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. ., .

(1H) Wins Distinction By Its Better Qualities The Cleveland Six has won a placa of distinction among light cars, because of its better qualities. De signed for every-day service on every kind of roadway, it is sturdily built for endurance. It seeks no glory in speed contests but earns praise for its performance in doing well all that its thousands of owners expect of a good car. , The exclusive Cleveland Six motor, of the overhead valve type, quiet and responsive in an unusual degree, is alive with power. Power sufficient to give all the speed that any thought ful driver would ever want to use and to take the loaded car on high up long climbing road ways. Bodies of dignity and beauty are mounted on the Cleveland chassis. All are splendidly finished and upholstered. Come iee the Cleveland. Ride in it. Drive it. Then you will know.
