The Franklin Car Sets Fuel Economy Record in Yosemite Run and Wins All Three First Prizes This Los Angeles-Camp Curry event, designed to test fuel economy of all cars from every possible angle was conducted by the Automobile Club of Southern California under official A. A. A. supervision.

The Franklin Car won: 1. FIRST PRIZE, Sweepstakes cup, tor best all-'round showing of any car at any price. It covered the 374.5 miles on 13 gallons of gasoline, an average of 28.8 miles to the gallon. 2. FIRST PRIZE. All classes, most ton-miles per gallon of gasoline. This rating was devised to remove all handicaps of weight. It puts all scores on an equal basis of comparison. The Franklin, with 49.9 ton-miles, beat lighter and heavier cars.

3. FIRST PRIZE, own price class, for most ton-miles per gallon. The Franklin established a new record, being the first car of any make to win the three first prizes in the history of the event. This triple victory for the principles of light weight and flexible construction and direct air cooling (no water to boil or freeze) is important. In indicates to motorists the freedom from trouble, the fuel economy, and the assurance of motoring satisfaction open to them with the Franklin Car.

These advantages have long been summed up in the conservative statement of Franklin performance. 20 miles to the gallon of gasoline, 12,500 miles to the set of tires, 509c slower yearly depreciation. Practically without exception, the Franklin Car has established the economy records of all the orncial events held in seventeen Years.
