TO PAGES- The Franklin Sta r 5V to auu ivmes-or PAGI EIGHT aw m m t ndardof Demonstration More TV TV few n It is not necessary to accept either our statements or the word-of-mouth , confirmation of a , Franklin owner. Let the car itself tell the story the unvarnished story of performance now. twenty years ojjl We have laid out this demonstration plan to show anyone who wants to know that motoring can he comfortable, free from trouble, and economical. Call upon any one of our 500,dealers any time. It will pay you to know this car. , ' i- Hie frifFerences Back of the Outstanding Performance of Today's Franklin , Case-Hardened Crankshaft t Outlasts any other three shafts. . The only car with this big endu rance feature. Seven main bearing! , (instead of ttye usual three) reduce , vibration, j - Dirett Air 'Cooling No Water , Mora efficient, weighs !:, has v 177 fewer parts. Does away with radiator troubles, cuts routine - care, allows chassis flexibility, re v, duces carbon. Laminated Wood Frame More costly to build, but lighter, ' stronger and more shock-absorbing , than steel. Increases comfort, permits wheels to conform to road without straining body. Four-PointBodySuspension Here again is flexibility, impossible with body rigidly bolted to frame the entire length. Prevents squeaks and atrains. Two-Point Spring Suspension See what this does to rigidity, the enemy of comfort, safety and long life, No noisy shackle bolts. No Torque Tubes or Strut Rods Another contribution to flexibility. Allows springs to absorb jar of starting, stopping and road jolts. ' Also eliminates unnecessary . weight and noise. FulUElliptic Springs Give almost twice the usual spring movement. Deaden road shocks. More costly than' semi-elliptic or other kinds, but important for comfort. Absorb the forces that cause skidding. Light Unsprung Weight Lesa weight below springs than any other car. Reduces reaction , of road roughness against tires, body and passengers. Scientific Light Weight Quality materials of great strength properly used to equalize stress. Lessens load, distributes it evenly. Lengthens tire life, gives comfort, easy handling and economy. , Generous Use of Aluminum In body, engine base and oil pan, rear axle housing, etc. Saves 440 lbs. In enclosed types, 350 in open. Costs 800 more than materials h replaces. A big factor in Franklin , light weight and quality. Tubular Frbnt Axle t Made of drawn steel tubing. More expensive to produce, butisstrong-er,- lighter and free from hidden ' flaws. i - . , Non-Stalling Engine A cowl switch does it. No push ing of pedals-no meshing of gears. A powerful safety factor. Carburetor Adjustable From Dash Carburetor adjustment possible with car in motion, meeting vary ing conditions. Prevents gasoline waste, insures maximum power. Cold Weather , , , i ,' Starting Devices Strong starter, improved electric vaporizer, closed circuit ignition system hotter spark. . Makes starting instant, easy and depend able, regardless of temperature. Patented Long-Type Aluminum Pistons Combine advantages of cast iron and of ordinary aluminum types. , Silent, . longer wearing, allow higher engine compression, quick acceleration.,. Reduce jearbon. Elimination of Grease Cups Wick oiling eliminates all but three, which are easily reached. Lightens routine care, guards against damage due to neglect. Pressure Oiling to Bearings Makes oiling positive, constant, and equal not a matter of chance. Saves many repair bills. New Use of DropForgings In load-carrying parts. Increases endurance, saves repair bills. The first car' to embody this advance in construction. , . .. Safer Braking System Service and emergency brtke areas separated, insuring cool brakes. Service brake on transmission acts through differential equally on both wheels. Multiplies braking force, prevents skidding. Automatic Spark Control Relieves the driver of guessing. Insures correct timing at all speeds. Saves engine saves gasoline. 20 miles to ths $tdlon of gasoline 12,500 miles to the set of tires 50'iv slower yearly depreciation (Nation Anrft) .... iThe most comfortable car to ride in The easiest and safest car to handle The most economical car to operate The car that is, freest from trouble , Andican cover most miles in a day FOR the many motorists who have hopefully changed makes of cars and are still dissatisfied, l we have a brief, message: t You merely changed makes instead of changing principles. 1 ! . .' i The same make "or type of axle, engine or othler part gives about equal results in different cars. ' The Franklin builds on individual and scientific lines. Engine virtually built twice; axle built up and machined for lightness and strength; carburetor; of special design and so on through the list. Rigidity produces about the same effect whatever the name-plate on the car. The Franklin is flexible: Water works in the same way on the front of any car. The Franklin is air cooled no water, boiling, freezing or leaking. ) ' 1 Heavy weight takes its toll in tires, gasoline and comfort. The Franklin is light weight and resilient r easily handled, comfortable and economic!. The demonstration will let you see, feel and hear the difference.' 1 . THE DEMI-SEDAN $2,850 An exclusive model, combining the chief advantages of both open and closed cars. Removable, non-rattle glass panels give thorough weather protection. Permanent top, 4 doors, for 5 passengers. TOURING CAR $2450 SEDAN $3450 RUNABOUT $2400 DEMI-COUPE $2750 COUPE $3200 BROUGHAM $3300 TOURING LIMOUSINE $3800 (All prices f. b. b.
