For the average heavy car, weighing more than its purpose xJj requires, is literally dragging unnecessary weight 1500 pounds in many cases. People arc getting curious about this weight question. Peo ple are getting tired of lugging around an excess burden and pay ing for it. And the fact tliat they are curious, the fact that they are tired, is the real reason why sales of Franklin Scientific Light Weight Cars increased last year 135, against the 12 increase of nil other fine cars. TakS this matter of weight right up by the roots. See what it looks like. J. Edward Schipper, the well-known authority, addressing the Cleveland Society of Automotive Engineers, said: "Weight of cor per pound of passenger-weight As too heavy in America. For a designed load of 750 pounds (5 passengers) a car weighing 2250 pounds is about right.3' The plain fact is: it costs money to move weight. Thc-car that is too heavy for a man's needs makes unnecessary demands on his and the Nation's pocketbook. Heavy weight is long on sustenance, and short on service. It burns up fuel it has to to move itself; it pounds out tires prematurely weight and rigidity make that inevitable. The Scientific Light Weight Franklin weighs 2380 pounds full-size five-passenger car. It is free from cumbersome non essentials. It has attained the ideal of Lightness and Strength. Thc result is that it does exactly what a car should do, Franklin Cars deliver 20 miles to the gallon of gasoline, instead of 10; J 0,000 miles to the set of tires, instead of 5,000; A high resale value, instead of a fire-sale price. That's why, no matter where you go, you'll find people talk ing Franklin. That's why you'll find Franklin Cars running thriftily on ever' road in the country. You may be different from the average motorist. You may be more careless and less conscious of costs than he is. But we don't think so. We believe you're just about as anxious to Hooverize your motor car's rations as anybody else. And if that's the case, you have plenty of company, as evidenced by the 1359b Franklin Sales increase You have heard strong claims for the Franklin, but not a bit stronger than the facts back of them Drop in the Franklin Salesroom.
