THE FRANKLIN SEDAN Combines Closed Car Comfort with Open Car Economy

Experienced motorists all over the country have instantly accepted the FRANKLIN Wide Window Sedan as the Ideal Enclosed Car for year-round

use.

The reason is simple. Open Car Economy.

In this car, Enclosed Car Comfort is combined with

It couldn't have happened in any other automobile. First, because the FRANKLIN Company pioneered the Sedan type in this country and brought it to its present perfection. Second, because in no other auto mobile could FRANKLIN Economy exist. FRANKLIN Direct Air Cooling, Scientific Light Weight and Flexibility these are thd Big Reasons behind FRANKLIN Economy Facts' as distinguished from the usual economy claims.

A FRANKLIN Car is humored less than any other; its mechanism stands the rigors of service better, and the car itself affords more physical comfort for the occupants.

The FRANKLIN SEDAN consistently delivers? '" 18-20 Miles to the gallon of gasoline Instead of 8. 10,000 Miles to the set of tires - instead of 5,000. Add to this, Beauty of Appearance. Add the Wide Window feature which, by removing one window-post, gives a remarkable range of vision; the quiet good taste of its up-to-date interior decoration; the convenience of its seating arrangement a patented FRANKLIN feature. Add, too, the easy rolling FRANKLIN quality that enables this Sedan to run lightly, flexibly, resiliently over roads which would mean discomfort, pounding and grinding wear in the usual heavy and rigid enclosed car. Then you will have some idea of Enclosed Car Perfection; and, if interested in Economy, too, you will want to see and try the car.

A rough road neither produces racking noise nor discomfort to the riders, as is common with heavy rigid cars. The FRANKLIN is light weight and flexible. You will sense this exact difference if you will ride with us over a rough road. .
