Always Interested In Cars of Economy r "Economical motor traniDorta- tion can come only from cars that have built into them the highest iality of the engineering art." T ' ITranl-lln nruMaiit n f th franklin Automobile company of Syracuse, N. Y., claims. nearch surreys hare shown tfs tiat motorists of all classeo. Owning cars of all price ranges, ire Interested in economy. Gas Hiihk r;leage alone does not satis fy the motorist. The car own r nKw desire to know about the c'if i)f upkeep over a period of ?eifs, for he has come to realize titii otkeep may become the most Fibth&re part about his car. "franklin ' cars have always heen economical in the consnmp tok f gas and in 'wear on tires, to the scientific light weight that has been so carefully design ed and built into them. But the t Hf frit ihat we hare found most in foresting to the car buyer is the aiiiiiry which he cannot observe, but which ke knows from per formance and operating costs real ly is there. "Cisehardened crankshafts can not be seen, any more than the extfl quality of upholstery mater ial, the loose, curled hair of the cushions, or the. unusual number of late-web springs that give them shipe. But it-Is these very things which insure long life that deter mine the true economy of motor car operation," Mr. Franklin said. "When the car owner can drive h'.s car year after year with a very small amount of repair cost he be come a valuable customer, one who will convince his neighbor of the economy and satisfaction of h fr Such customers are of unknown value but certainly they are the greatest asset a manufac turer can have. They, like inbuilt oniiHtv. are nriceless." Franklin repeat sales to former Franklin owners are the hlgheet in the business, nroving that it pays to build cars of high quality. tained with a, ready for! us. An Interesting fact relative to the mechanical department may be found about the foreman, Kienara Thornburn. He learned the auto business : and was thoroughly trained while . in Ireland. For many years he has been in close touch with this line of work and is thoroughly qualified for the po sition he holds. A new department has been added to the mechanical work at the Marlon garage. This is the bodv department. This is com plete in every detail and all neces sary equipment has been put in place. ' j The general remodelling work will be completed within the next few days and then the Marlon garage will be in a position to give even better service man nereto- fore given the motoring public. Ingenious design of the bodies for Graham Brothers trucks pro vides the owner with exceptional advantages and economies. The standard line, including express, canopy, screen, panel and carryall types. Is built so that body types can be changed simply by adding or - removing ' various standard units: .Thus, if for Any reason, the owner of a Graham Brothers ex press truck wishes to convert it into a canopy, the standard canopy top may be added to the express body and a standard Graham Brothers canopy truck is the re sult. The express body is also the basis for building vp the screen and panel types as shown in the illustrations. x In the large view of the-panel truck the part marked AW'is identical with the parts "A-In the smaller views of the different types. "C,t representing the cab, is similar in all types. B" represents the standard top In afl covered jobs, while D. ind "E" respectively are the screen and panel sides added to the can opy type to produce these differ ent models. Not only is the economy of this design important to the owner who may wish to change the type of body on his track after it has. been in use, but the first cost is reduced to a minimum because of mass production in manufacture of the few units going into the make-up of several models. giLL TO AUTHORIZE SUM FOR ROAD WORK (Continued from pge 1) iernMl. the provisions of -the niefcBure are even more libera' than the federal aid program, in IhAt It provides that the states are not com celled to pay as their share of highway construction a sum to exceed 20 per cent of the cost of the cdnstructiori rof ; the roads from this fund," Mr. Browne dtK-Tared. "We have Dlaced too much of He cost of road construction upon h.e states and they in return upon tl;e county unit, the counties lii Tuanv instances having to pay one third or more of the cost of roads rfcich serve the entire nation and this tax burden has helped to put the farmer where he is," tlfe au-! thor declared. The measure will have the un divided support of the motorists of the United States, in the opin ion of J. Borton Weeks, president of the American Motorists associa tion. "The bill should pass be cause it is economically sound and because it does not add to the tax payer's burden. The most collosal waste in the history of the United States U that due to the operation of the 23,000,000- automobiles of the country over roads mostly un fit for their use. This waste can be stopped by good highways. Un der this measure highway con struction can proceed five time as fast as it is now progressing," Mr. Weeks declares "Due to road conditions." sayc Dr. S. M. Johnson, chairman of the Good Roads board of the American Motorists association.' we are losing more than sixty per cent of the value of the main fac tor of progress the automobile. Railway service is about 100 per cent efficient, because the almost mechanical perfection of the roll ins: stock is suDDlemented by an rfprt track on which tc I Oregon onerate.

A tentative draft of the bill sent by the American Motorist: association to governors, state highway department heads and representative chambers of com merce and prominent editors, in dicate that it will be strongly sup ported throughout the country the response being mostly favor able. Outstanding publications, such -as the Saturday Evening Post, have endorsed it editorially.
