Why Not Be as Comfortable in
the Spring, and Summer as
in the Winter?
n 1
WE ARE thinking of the
bad roads and the bad
weatlkr that are encountered
in the warm months just as
surely as in the winter
months.
In fact, these are exactly the
things you have to consider
vhen looking for your Proc-caevery-day-in'the-yearcar.
And they are the reasons
yiy experienced motorists are
purposely buying Franklin
Town Care for summer use.
These people are tired of
puling up with dust and dirt,
gusts of wind, sun glare and
E arched skin. They like to
e able to keep out the rain
without inconvenience, and
to regulate the free-blowing
air as they want it. They like
to feel and look their best at the
end of a day's trip. '
The Franklin Town Car
gives them all of this luxury,
but inexpensively. The car
is light (only 2610 pounds)
