Having pioneered the Sedan type in this country, it is not surprising that the Franklin Company lias now perfected it both in Performance and in Beauty of Appearance. The Big Window Feature alone excites admiration wherever the car is shown. By placing the doors forward ami eliminating two side pillars, Franklin design has removed the usual pent-up feeling. Now, no matter where one is sitting, the view is as broad as the eye will take in. In every sense, it deserves" the description "a personal Observation Car." Advance design, coupled with the basic Franklin princi ples of' Scientific Light Weight and Flexible Construction, makes the Big Window Sedan an enclosed car that is practical for all-round, all-the-year use. The usual enclosed car, heavy and rigid, wastes gasoline in moving its own weigh t-?and mercilessly pounds out its tires before their time. The Big Window Sedan consistently delivers 18-20 Miles to the gallon of gasoline, instead of 8. 10,000 Miles to the set of tires, instead of 5,000. The heavy and rigid enclosed car choose his roads; the Big Window Sedan It runs lightly, flexibly, resiliently on any strainless ease and instant responsiveness. There is no other car like it. It is of its own kind. Cool and dustless for summer' use; warm and reliable for winter running, the Big Window Sedan fits every feminine need and is the car of every use for the busy man. It makes congested city traffic easy; it turns all-day touring into an exhilarating experience. It does exactly what the ideal Enclosed Car should do; it delivers Service and Comfort economically every day, for every use, in every weather, on every road. That is the Franklin Big Window Sedan. compels its owner to is indifferent to them, road. It handles with list and describe iy features of the Bh Window Sedan. Hut cold type cannot picture them to v'ou. Only the car itself can do that. Sec the car todav. Ride in it and realize what is meant Enclosed Car Perfection. The Big Window Sedan Only one post breaks the span between the wind-shield and the rear of the body, and this one is so placed by reason of the e.urawidc door that it offers no obstruction. t Widest view obtainable. Slanting V- Windshield Another device for broaden-' ing the vision. Also obviates the confusion of reflection. Easy Entrance Single wide door, directly be-" side front seats, gives access to car without confusion or dis turbance. Driver can enter with out clambering over other pas sengers. A patented Feature of the Big Window Sedan. Adjustable Front Seats Adjustable front seats allow long-legged or short-legged man to ride comfortably.
