WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1919 ESS5CX MEETS NEED FOR LIGHTER AUTOS, | ASSERTS SHERLAND "The general demand of the motor- ing public for greater economy with- out the sacrifice of power, endurance or comfort is the greatest factor he- hind the announcement of the In- dianapolis speedway that the 500-mile race in 1920 would be for the cars of 183 cubic inches displacement." said L. A. Sherland, local Essex represent- ative, this week. "The Indianapolis ~ announcement followed the action of French officials in cutting down the engine size of cars to be, entered in the grand prix. The previous limit at Indianapolis was 300 inches and the reduction is intended to foster greater efficiency in passenger cars along the lines ex- emnlified by the Essex. "The record of the Fssex is proof of what may be accomplished along these lines. The Essex motor is only twenty-nine inches in length, overall. and the piston displacement is 179 inches.. Nevertheless, due to its ad- vanced design, it develops more than fifty-six horsepower. Thus it ob- tains greater economy through light- er weight without sacrificing power, performance or endurance. "As the history of automobile de- velopment is largely due to the ex- perience gained in racing. it is only natural that the Essex should have been designed by engineers who have gained world-wide fame for the en- durance and speed of their car. Built in the Hudson factory at Detroit, the Essex is the perfected development! of vears of successful achievement in building fine motor automobiles. The result is an advanced type of effi-! ciency, performance and comfort. "For years the tendency has heen toward a car of this character. This is graphically illustrated by speedway requirements in recent vears. Most of the races prior to 1911 were for cars of unlimited piston displace- ment. In 1911 and 1912 cars were limited to 600 inches which was further reduced into 450 inches in 1913 and 1914. The standard for 1915, 1916 and 1919 was 300 inches. "This shows the constant search for greater lightness and economy combined with performance and en- durance. These results have been achieved in the Essex through per- fect balance which eliminates de- structive vibration and thus lengthens the life of the car and by an improved design of the gas passages which makes possible the utilizakion of every drop of fuel fed to the engine. "The result is a car of long life. light enough to be most economical in upkeep nad with such a tremend- ous reserve of power that the trouble of changing gears is almost eliminat- ed." FORD 16 YEARS OLD; EVEN THE HORN TOOTS A rear tonneau door, two-cylinder car manufactured by the Ford Motor company in 1903--the year of that company's organization--and in use since that time is still "on the job." It is an eight-horsepower car, has a seventy-eight-inch wheel base, a five-gallon gas tank and is owned by! A. C. McCarthy of Portland ,Ore. Of course, the Ford isn't exactly possessed of the latest lines and it is beginning to wear slightly, but me- chanically--why, even the aged brass horn works. The machine is now be- ing driven on business trips through Oregan and Washington by Mec- Carthy, who doesn't expect to be in the market for a new Ford for some years to come, since he's kinda got acquainted with the old one.
