THERE are two ways you may get first-hand infor
mation as to why the trend today is towards light
weight.
One way is to buy a heavy car and find just how ex
pensive the upkeep is. The other way is to know the
kind of car the man who discards a heavy car is looking for.
Then you will understand the whys and wherefores
back of the popularity of light weight.

records of unusual economy for gasoline, tires and oil.
A Franklin Owner sticks to the Franklin Car, not
alone for economy, but because scientific light wewht
carries with it safety, reliability and comfort.
Again we say-don't take our word for this. You are
probably a car owner yourself-or, perhaps, are c
quainted with several motorists and can verify the trudi
of this statement. ' trum
