MOTOR CAR SATISFACTION

means getting from your automobile just what you expected you were ger ing to get before you owned the car. It means that you can leave home for any kind of a trip—long or short, cold day or hot day—with the certain knowledge tijat you are going to get there and back without trouble or worry. If your car does not work out this way, you are not getting what you ought to get, what you have the right to expect. Absolute reliability and satisfaction are guaranteed in the Franklin by the 'built-In principles that give 20 miles to the gallon of gasoline, 12,600 miles to the set of tires, and 50 per cent slower yearly depreciation. As far as cooling goes, motor car owners freely admit that the lugging around of a cumbersome radiation system with the necessity of frequently filling it with varying quantities of water, (and perhaps doctoring It with anti-freeze is not conducive to ease of mind. Direct air-cooling, eliminating( 17T parts and all the unnecessary weight of the water-cooling systems, is the logical way to cool an automobile engine. It cools efficiently under the two extreme conditions, as proved by twb widely divergent .incidents. At the time of the Minnesota forest, fires a Franklin was used in the rescue work. The temperature was 106 degrees. Water-cooled cars could not always stand that and many dropped out. The Franklin came through, despite the fact that the heat was so great It scorched the paint off. Again, In Maine last winter, three motorists started a transcontinental tour. They ran Into snow-bound roads so Impassable it was necessary to chop the car out of the drifts. But the Franklin engine didn’t mind this extreme cold any more than the excessive heat. May we have the opportunity of proving the efficiency and perfection of Franklin principles of light-weight, direct air-cooling, as successfully ap. plied to the Franklin car? £ THOMPSON & KIRK.
