amount of abuse and neglect without

To fulfill those exacting conditions
tho Japanese authorities chose the

performance of a fleet of thoBO cars in
the Gobi desert In Mongolia, a con
quest of impossible conditions that
has become world famous. That thotr
confidence was not misplaced Is
shown by tho fact that the Japanese
distributor has received from two dif

TIERE is one main reason for the sales records the Franklin has
established since the present period ot readjustment set in. The
Franklin Car gives exactly the sort of performance the times call for.
Men and women, too are applying the same strict standards to
their motoring that are being applied to business. The Franklin measures
up to these standards. In all its 19 years, it has never countenanced
waste in any form.
It does not waste gasoline by carrying superfluous weight It does
not waste tire and car life through rigidity that transmits road jolt and
jar. It does not waste power by employing an inefficient cooling system.
Light, resilient and direct air cooled, it turns every drop of fuel into
useful work, gets every possible month of wear from the tires, every
possible yeaij of service from the car.
Inevitably these business advantages are accompanied by more per
sonal onaa. Franklin comfort, ease of handling and freedom from worry
and work sure out of the ordinary, too. Base your judgments on these
actual owners averages:
20 miles to the gallon of gasoline
12,500 miles to the set of tires
50 slower yearly depreciation
