'I tie most important of the 42
refinements and improvements are:
l ontant clearsnce pistons, new
frame, new bredkinor system; dutch
that operates with the touch of die
fiHt; thrrmotuuc control of engine
imiperature; adjustable spring
shackles: spring mounted radiator;
new radiator tie bar re-deiigned oil
pump and timing atari; new rear
tie; new tront tender construction;
special provision to prevent sijuraks
between metal parti and body: and,
in addition, a large number of spe.
rial features which may be added to
tin model at a slight additional cost
which were not available on previous
modclj.
Piston Big- Advantage.
The constant clearance pUton is
another contribution to tlio advance
ment of the motor car in that it is a
- perfected non-slap, non-stick alumi
num piston, arte superior advantages
of aluminum are universally accepted,
providing its excess expansion ten
dencies can be overcome and
handled. The Cole engineers have
handled this problem in a very sim
ple way.
Above the point where the clear
ance is to be kept constantly at two
one-thousandths of an inch a slot
was cut completely through the pts
ton and this slot diverts the heat
from the piston head into the low
sides of the piston where .there is
plenty of room for expansion. The
natural elasticity of the metal does
the rest. The engine operates silently
and smoothly as the pistons auto
matically conform to tlie cylinder
walls at all degrees of temperature,
maintaining always the proper clear
ance.
Tested on Speedway.
Three stock 890 Aero-Eight cars
were taken to the Indianapolis
Motor Speedway and put through a
scries of acceleration tests ranging
up to 60 miles an hour. The motors
were then dissembled and all pistons
chanced, no one piston being re
turned to its original cylinder. The
cars were then run through their
races asain. and it was found that
the variation between the timing of
the runs with the factory installed
pistons and the mixed up sets was
only three-fifths per cent. At no
time was there any sign of slap
ping or sticking.
In order to emphasize the im
provement in the performance of the
engine the results ot an acceleration
test are noted. In this test the fol
lowing figures were made: From a
standing start to 50 miles an hour
.in 22 2-5 seconds, from three miles
Vn hour to 40 in 16 4-5 seconds and
from 19 miles an hour to 50 in lis
sernfids.
In the. brake test the model 890
has set a new standard of braking
efficiency which has not, heretofore
ever been equalled. At the rate of
25 miles an hour the car was stop
ped in 53 58-100 feet or five better
than any other car; at 40 miles an
hour it was stopped in 135 feet or
13 feet shorter; at 50 miles an hour
only 178 feet was required, which is
53 shorter than tne average niga
class cars.
Hudsons Much Used
in International Runs
In practically every section of the
country the automobile is being used
on rpcular routes to carry passengers
between towns, competing with rail
roads and mterurban lines, ine oe
mand is for cars which are large, fast
and dependable enough to stand this
difficult usage.
One interesting route between
Flint and Fenton, M ich., where on an
interurban run of 18 miles a schedule
of nearly 30 miles an hour is main
ainH Passengers are allowed to car
ry hand baggage. As many as 15 pas
sengers ride in one car. In the late
afternoon run the Hint newspapers
are piled between fenders and hood.
Thit flprf nf cars is all Hudson.
One of the Hudsons has run 210,000
miles, another ZOU.UOU, and sun
others such distances as loU.Ow, 1JU,
000 and 90,000 miles.
Chalmers Six Is Favorite
for Cold-Weather Driving
"The Chalmers six is still a winter
favorite because of its easy startnig
and splendid cold weather perform
ance," is the declaration of Walter
Tohnson of the Alia uy woror aim
Supply company, local Chalmers
dealer. .
"The general offices have received
word from users everywhere telling
of fine performances in mid-winter.
TV,;, it ,'t imHoiihtedlv the best win
ter car they have ever driven and
that its constant use in all sorts of
weather during the entire winter
does not -affect it in the least, is the
consensus of opinion given by
Chalmers owners.
"A whirl or two of the motor on a
cold morning and the unaimers is
off. Then, too. after the motor is
lightly warmed a fuel pre-heating
device of fcroved value eliminated
winter carhuretion troubles. A mix
ture is fed the cylinders as perfect
as is secured in summer driving.
This system of fuel pre-heating was
originated by Chalmers engineers.
Today their design stands as the
most efficient offered.
"And in the new series Chalmers
tlx further advanced engineering
has made the car even more wonder
ful as a zero temperature performer.

SHOW
4-Passenger Coupe, $1365
One year ago we decided to again enter the passenger car business.
Using our 12 years of experience to every advantage, we carefully
investigated the various cars and factories and only after a most exhaus
tive investigation did we decide to distribute the DURANT CAR.
Over 2,000,000 Automobiles
were built under the supervision of W. C. DURANT before he produced
one on which he proudly placed his name.
It is necessary to take but a short spin behind the wheel of a
DURANT to realize what DURANT'S experience enabled him
to produce, what he modestly terms "just a real good car."

New Body Type in
Essex Closed Cars
Ule.t Coach Model I fas Pit.
tiait Fraturra From
FncloafJ Typca.
In the new Eie couch, according
to officials of tin company, a d'otinct
departure hat been made from the
conventional pirthol of building en
closed tars, Bri'dy, the simplicity
of manufacture which the automobile
industry has applied to motors and
frames has now been extended into
the building of bod i ft.
With this simplified construction
Essex Motors hat brrn able to put
on the market a well fmithed en
dosed car at a my slightly higher
prue than an open tody.
The newr body type is not only
symmetrical In Imrt, but is substan
tially built, and of convenient and
adequate size for its five passengers.
The painting, fitting and finish are
quite up to standard.
1 lie real idra behind the roach Is
that Essex Motors believei there are
a great number of purchasers who
want an endoied car, but that up to
now they have been unwilling to pay
the rather considerable advance in
price over the open-body types. For
urban ue the coach has the valu
able facility of slipping in and out
of small parking spaces and the
quick F.ssex pick-up is a convenience
in eluding trafhe jams.
New Marmon Either
n i t
oedan or Limousine
A seven-paisenger sedan or
limousine, whatever your whim may
be, it the quality in the Marmon
seven-passenger suburban that
catches the eye. In every respect,
save one, the seven-passenger sedan
and the suburban are alike. In the
suburban, however, there is a glass
partition at the back of the rear seat.
This may be raised or lowered easily
by means of a window regulator.
When the window is lowered the car
becomes a sedan. When it is raised,
the two front and rear compartments
are completely separated and the car
becomes a limousine.
A dictaphone, similar to that used
in the limousine, is placed in the front
compartment to facilitate communica
tion when the window is raised.
