GRESHAM ESSEX SVPEK-S1X CLIMBS MT. TAMALPAIS Sealed in high gear, a sta n d ard E ssex Super-Six coach established a w orld's record by clim bing Mt. T am alpais, near San F rancisco, ac- cording to word received by the H udson Motor Car com pany from S tanley W. Sm ith, H udson-Essex d istrib u to r for n o rth ern California. T his is th e first tim e, it is de clared, th a t th is peak has been clim bed in high gear. E ach year thousands of to u rists reach th e top by a trip on a cog-wheel railw ay, w hich winds its way up th e steep sides. This railw ay itself is one of th e m ost in te restin g exam ples of m ountain construction in th e world. T he only autom obile route to the top is a d irt road which to rtu o u sly clim bs m ore than 1700 feet in a little over eight miles. "T he E ssex w hich undertook th is te st,” said W ebster, H udson-Essex dealer, “w as stric tly a stan d ard , stock ca r and w as driven by non- professionals. T he Essex has m ade a num ber of outstanding ru n s In C alifornia recently, and chose this Mt. T am alpais route because it w as one w hich never before had been accom plished by any car, large or sm all. Even w ith th e use of all gears, a steady fast clim b up Mt. T am alpais is a form idable assig n m ent for any car. In high gear, as th e Essex w as driven, such a tria l m ight w ell stag g er th e la rg e st and m ost pow erful cars. "Y et the E ssex, w ith its high com pression m otor and its Super- Six principle of design, averaged Just a bit less than 4« m iles an hour. Of g rea t assistan ce w as the low -hung design and tru ly bal- lanced construction of th e Essex chassis, w hich perm itted tu rn s to be taken at a speed with entire safety. Also, w here sh a rp curves slowed down speed th e Essex a c celeration snapped the ca r back to its best perform ance. “T he success of th is run con firm s w hat all Essex ow ners and d ea le rs know —that the c a r has pow er, reliab ility and rugged p u ll ing pow er to spare. It is unusual to find the com bination of m arked acceleration plus power to pull steadily again st heavy grades or loads, but E sm x decidedly has both.” Great Turkey Drive Before Christmas and Thanksgiving ! When America wan discovered and explored by w hite men wild turkeys were fouud in large Ullin- tiers from New England to Mex ico. History shows also that tu r keys bad been raised in a domestic sta te by the Aztecs of Mexico at a still earlier period, and th at they were introduced Into Europe by white explorers and were highly prized as a table delicacy ujam Im portant occasions. Texas Is the turkey sta te of America, producing, according to E arle M. Sage, w riting in Populur Mechanics Magazine, one-tenth of tile annual crop of festive fowls. I Tiie "home of tbe famous turkey j tro t" Is Cuero. Texas, which is probably the largest shipping point for turkeys In the world. Here also is tlie birthplace of a unique ceremony upon ttie last day of the turkey season. Ju st tiefore Thanksgiving and C hristm as a turkey day is set aside. All who have turkeys to sell drive them io tin* m arket, sometimes for tw enty or thirty miles, the flocks consisting of as many as 10,000 fowl. T hirty men drove 8,000 tu r keys 13 miles in two days. In a drive of this kind, a wagon Is driven Just in front of the turkeys and a little corn Is scatterei to the leaders to keep them moving. Those th a t become lame or tired are placed in the wagon and hauled to town. At nightfall, proy'slon Is made to stop under a grove o ctrees wtiere the turkeys may roost. When the harvest festival rolls around, this T exas community pays homage to its most famous and profitable crop and celebrates the end of H ip season with appro priate ceremonies. The turkey reigns ns uncrowned king if the festival, and a parade is held Thanksgiving Day From every open kitchen door A whiff of fragrance flies. The aroma appetizing Of tarts and pumpkin pies. Above the homestead's shingle roof The sunset fades away, And fair and frosty falls the eve Before Thanksgiving day. Stop Suffering from rheum atism , neu ritis, lum bago.
