Following inventions of Mr. Torhen
sen of a decade ago, tho two founded
the Torbensen Axle compnny which
started production in a small shop in
New Jersey.
Subsequently, the Industry was mov
ed to Cleveland where It grew rapidly
and is today conducted on a gigantto
scale. With the Eaton Axle company
here, Cleveland will be supplying tho
oulk of axles to the automobile In
dustry. The products of the new com
pany will be bnsed on new invention)1
by Mr. Torbensen which eliminate, it

In pleasure car'iind truck axles of the
past.
The Eaton company, according to
Mr. Katon, will manufacture two dis
tinct types of axle a conventional
passenger car axle of bevelled gear
drive type and a truck axle of internal
gear typo with all years operatlnf In
oil. These soon will be featured in
a national advertising campaign.
During the first year of operation
the new company will product '.'00
sets of passenger car axles snd 100
sets of truck axles per day. Contracts
for the first year's product have al
ready Jieep made. As rapidly as pos
sible the, plant will be enlarged.
The new company in locating In
Cleveland, becomes ono of more tnan
a score of concerns manufacturing
well known cars and trunks and ac
cessories. Automobile men seo Its
establishment here as an ' important
link In Cleveland's steady endeavor
to wrest the leadership in automobile
manufacture from Detroit. This Is
also the view of Mayor Harry L. Davis
of Cleveland.
"With the establishment here of
the Cm on Axle company," said Mayor
Davis, "1 think II is true that Cleve
land today is the leader in the auto
mobile industry, taking Into.. account
the manufacture of Important acces
sories an well as cars."

nit tho development of ihe air-filled J
or pneumatic tire to truck capacity.)
'Nothing the tiro Industry has ac-
past when they see the advantages of
the pneumatic tiro for trucks. It will
bring quicker and better transporta
tion for tho merchants and Industries
and trucks will not be tho road-du-stroying
factors they have been."
The entire elimination of tho solid
rubber tire, of course, has not heen
achieved, and, In Mr. Magulre's
opinion, may not be for n long lime
to come. If ever.
"The very heavy trucks, designed to
haul building materials and other
loads of great weight," he stated,
"still require the solid rubber tire.
Industry and commerce will coatlnus
to require such trucks and the manu
facture of solid rubber tires will con
tinue as an essential Industry. But ,
it is highly encouraging, from the)
viewpoint of good roada promoters,
that more and more trucks are being
built for which the air-filled tire far
not only practicable but Is specified. "
n
conipll.ihed In recent years," said Mr.
Maguire," Is more important than thlni
development. When !i truck Is equip- j

Mr. Maguire, who is vice-president
of the Portage Rubber company of
Akron and Barberton, believes that
the development of the pneumatic
tire to truck capacity is to have Im
portant results in converting thou
sands to the "shlp-hy-truck Ideu" and
In promoting better roads.

Essex Sets World's Long
Distance Endurance Mark
3038 Miles in 50 Hours, Averaging
60 J Miles An Hour
All that 20,000 owners have claimed for Essex endurance is
proved in the official tests completed under American Automo
bile Association observation on the Cincinnati Speedway. De

at top speed for fifty hours.

The Essex was put on the speedway to
prove its reliability in a fifty hour test.
At the end of 27 hours 58 minutes and
in the 1790th mile, rain and sleet forced
a stop. A Becond start was made three
days later but snow again ended the trial.
This time the run lasted 16 hours 25 min
utes and covered 1042 miles. The third
run starting the following day was suc
cep:ful, the fifty hour period being com
pleted. Thus the proof of Essex endurance is
even greater than that expressed in the
50 hour run. Think what that means.
The average car la driven little more than
5,000 miles in the entire season.. But
this stock Essex chassis went more than a
mile a minute for 5,870 miles.
More Than You Will -Ever
Want
Your average driving speed is probably
25 miles .an hour. You rarely raantain
that speed for more than an hour or two.
Still if your car should go through the
season with that kind of performance
wouldn't you be( pleased? ?h-
How much more trying to everji Jem of
its mechanism were every one T those
high speed miles than any demand you
will make.
Almost as astounding as its endurance
was its tire experience. The front wheel
tires went through all three trials with-
out change. Two rear tires were replaced
because of damage dotte by splinters
from the board surface track. .
Application was made last April, to
conduct stock reliability tests under the
Association rule. Since then close to 15,
.000 cars have been delivered and the
Essex used in this test is officially vouch-
ed for as being identical with every Essex
built.
Doesn't It Settle the
Light Car Question?
Light weight in an automobile has
meant principally moderate price and
perhaps gasoline and tire economy. There
was enough speed and power to get about
but none that gave distinction on the
road. Fineness and performance were
not expected.
But the Essex brough fine car quality
to the light car fields Its appearance gave
it immediate distinction. Its performance
, placed it in the large costly car class.
Only in size, cost and economy of gaso
line, oil and tires was it compared to cars i
in the moderate price field. 1
Is it any wonder that motorists have
praised the Essex as they have? It gave
them just what they bad wanted. It was
the way by which they could keep their
motoring costs down and still have a car
that filled their demands in performance,
appearance and endurance.
So Make Sure You Can
. Get an Essex
i
Every Essex delivered has resulted in
an increased demand. The purchases
grew to more than thirty-five million dol
lars, within eleven months. Its 20,000
owners are adding to the demand that
is rolling up for next spring deliveries.
We are already booking them. There is
no possibility that all buyers can be serv
ed. Now is the time when you should
make reservation. This latest proof will
decide thousands who have waited for
just suci evidence that the Essex is as
good as people have said it is.
The Secret of a
Superlative Tire
The whole question of a luper-tire is a matter n principles.
For there ia nothing exclusive in the industry. No patents,
no secret formulas prevent a conscientious maker from build
ing the best '
But cost and competition modify Ideals. The Brunswick
idea is to pay perfection's price and? get it.
That has been the Brunswick policy since 1845. And it ac
counts for the growing preference for Brunswick Tires
Motorists expect the utmost from tire bearing the name pf
Brunswick and get it.
You. too, will be convinced by your first Brunswick, that
here is an extraordinary tire, and that more money cannot buy;

Better iires o! their type are impossible- or better tubes.
