Mr. McCormmach. and the firm he built up, namely the Pendle ton Auto Co. haa been a direct repre sentative of the Franklin factory con tinuously alnce 1907, and a steady sale of Franklin cars has been the re " suit. There has never been a season that did not see a creditable number , of these popular cara sold In and around Pendleton. Mr. McCormmach has the distinction of selling; more car, per thousand population than any other Franklin dealer.' One year In particular having sold nearly ten times I aa many cara per 1000 population as the next nearest dealer. The allot. ' ment or Franklin cars to be sold by the Pendleton Auto Co. this season is - something; over 150. The phenomena) success of the Franklin on the rough roads of Eastern Oregon has been due to a few basic principles which are built Into the Franklin car. First the Hunt air-cooled eiiKlne, red noes weight on sau front end or the cur, where every pound of unnecessary welt; lit loada down a car and has to be pushea through the soft dusty, sandy or mud dy roads. Secondly the car has al ways and full elliptic springs both front and rear and a laminated wood frame Instead of the conventional rigid steel frame. It has always had' tubular axles, both front and rear, made of the finest of seamless drawn steel, which is scientifically the lightest possible construction for a given strength. Further flexibility Is gained by tho separate transmission with four universal joints Instead of the commonly used unit power plant, having the motor, clutch and trans mission all In one elongated case j-igld with the motor. Large tires add greatly to the easy riding qualities secured by the wood Of all the makes of mHttmnhllm . ..
