SLICK SAYS TRUCK IS FARM NECESSITY The farm truck may supplant the stationary engine as the source of power for odd Jobs around the farm, thinks F. E. Slick, who handles the truck in Richmond. Combination with the L. A. Young Industries, manufacturers of farmer power plants, has been effected by the Republic company in order to make a handy power source out of the Rebubllc. In literature issued by both companies, the Republic is shown doing odd Jobs, such as filling silos, grinding feed, sawing wood, and running farm light systems, Which is a new use for the truck. A special line shaft which hooks up to the rear wheels of the truck is the device which does the trick. This stationary engine develops eight horse power. P

23 MILES TO GALLON IS ESSEX AVERAGE The Essex, which has been creating so much comment in automobile circles recently, has added another notable achievement to its record by averaging 23 miles to the gallon of gasoline in a 115-mile test in San Francisco, according to word received Friday by Clem McConaha. "This performance Is all the more notable because of the fact that Immediately after the economy test, the same car was driven over the steep California Street Hill in San Francisco, being the only four cylinder car which has ever accomplished this feat." said McConaha. "Both these tests were made with the car filled with newspapermen who acted as observers. The start up the hill was made at Battery street and the trip ended at the Fairmont HoteL Only two other cars have climbed this hill officially In high gear. One was a Hudson Super-Six and the other was an eight cylinder machine." "At the close of the tests, the differential was removed to verify the fact that a stock gear ratio was used. In fact, it was not only a stock car throughout, but it had Just been received from the factory. . All brand new cars are slightly stiff, and it is not until they have been run several hundred miles that they develop their utmost power and efficiency."

It is the manner in which it fulfills all these demands that is exciting so much interest just now. Not a word of praise has been put out by the manufacturer.

Yesterday I had something of the same strange feeling as I sat there and felt myself pushed forward lntc the very face of grinning, staring and sometimes jeering New York."

We wanted to begin advertising the Essex as soon as we had seen it. We knew it would be months before it would be ready for delivery, but we wanted everyone to know what kind of a car they might expect. But the Essex builders have been manufacturing fine cars for years. Their factory is one of the largest in the industry. They know that no words of praise can equal in their influence the impression that the car itself can make. So they said we should not advertise the Essex until there was an Essex for the people to see and ride in. Now the People Are Advertising It That is the only thing about the Essex we want to call your attention to in this newspaper. If you will come see the car and ride in it we know what you will do. You will join the thousands who are saying things in more convincing words than we can print. Your endorsement will go farther than anything we can say. The appeal of the Essex is resistless. Everyone admires it. It is making friends of all who stop to note its appearance or who will ride in it over the rough roads we pick out to reveal its comfort and sturdiness. We don't need to prom

ise marvelous performance qualities. When you ride in the Essex you will know how it accelerates and pulls under load and how it glides over the roughest roads with a smoothness that you have thought possible only in much larger and costlier cars. You will know how economical it is and can see the provisions that have been made to keep it free from rattles and squeaks. Aren't you interested in seeing them?
