On the eve of his departure for

ESSEX MAKES NEW
WORLD'S RECORD
Crosses Continent in 4 Days, 14 Hours
and 43 Minutes; Carries
TJ. S. Mail.
Essex now holds the coveted trans
continental record. On August 9th
an Essex five passenger touring car
reached New York from San Fran
cisco covering the distance of 3347
miles in just 4 daj-s. 14 hours and 4 3
minutes, beating the best previous
record of another car by 12 hours
and 4 8 minutes.
At the same time an Essex travel
ing from New York to San Francisco
made the transcontinental run in 4
days. 19 hours and 17 minutes, beat
ing the best time this way by over
22 hours.
Two other Essex cars also made
the run, one from San Francisco to
New York in 4 days, 21 hours and 56
minutes and the other from New York
to San Francisco in a days. 6 hours
and IS minutes. Both of these cars,
however, encountered heavy rain
storms and deep mud in the west.
Aside from the fact that this is
a new record, it is also the first time
in history that an autc-aobile has
been permitted to carry mail across
the continent. All cars carried bags
of first class mail and every driver
was. in the eyes of the government, a
postman, properly sworn in and un
der bond to the government.
The cars were not driven, at any
point, by professional drivers. The
entire trip was supervised by Essex
distributors and dealers along the
route and they furnished drivers from
their own organizations. In all.
probably 25 drivers took the cars
across the contiennt. which is an
even greater testimony of the per
formance and reliability of the car.
The "second westbound car was di
verted from its route on the way to
San Francisco long enough to estab
lish a new record from New- York to
Chicago of 24 hours. 43 minutes and
aO seconds, beating the best previous
record bv over two hours.
