This is another evidence of the popularity of the FRANKLIN car. We sold one FRANKLIN last fall, and in a very few weeks delivered seven FRANKLINS to different members in the same family connection. Every FRANKLIN owner is a FRANKLIN booster. The performance of the car, its excellent rid ing qualities, ability to stand rough road service, all at a minimum of gasoline, oil and tire expense, makes the FRANKLIN the most popular car where its merits are known. Why not ask for a demonstration today? The sooner you decide on the FRANKLIN, the sooner you will experience whal all owners claim—complete motoring satisfaction.
