maximum comfort. The Scripps
Bootli lias always appealed to
that class which has always
bought the best, and is constant
ly on the alert for the newest
motor car achievement. To a
superlative- degree, this year
especially, tho Scripps-Booth
has attained that position. Every
line and finishing touch ex
presses dignified smartness,
linked with sound, efficient me
chanical construction.
Tho Six-cylinder model this
year is a marvel in power, speed
and flexibility.
It is roomy, without being
cumbersome; easy riding and
staunch without unnecessary
weight ; strikingly beautiful,
but not freakish.

Has No Radiator; It Is Air Cooled
TENS OK THOUSANDS of Franklin owners in
Philadelphia and elsewhere never have radiator
(.roubles because they have no radiators!
Ibii't that a consideration worthy of thought? "
We can tell yon it is the reason why the Sweeten Automobile
Company (3430 Chestnut Street) sold three times more Franklins
last year than ever in history. But there's another reason war-time
efficiency.
1 1 it. nothing new for the Fianklin to be efficient. Thrift docs
not just happen.
Back in 191)2, the days ol the lirst Franklin, our designers were
building for tiic day when njotoicar scivicc at the least expense would
be the aim.
The Franklin Car is efficient and economical because the
fundamentals of design make it so.
It is a matter of record in the automobile industry how
Vi anklin design has stood against excessive weight and complication
and all that these things mean in waste of power, of gasoline, of oil,
abnormal tire expense, high repair cost and heavy annual
depreciation.
Franklin Cars are on exhibition at the Automobile
Show, Space 12, Red Room, and in the Arcadia Cafe's
Empire Room.
Men or women interested in automobiles who fail to examine
the Franklin before they finally buy err against good judgment!
