THE FRANJaiN SEDAN
s
That enclosed cars offer most
among automobiles, and the
Franklin 1 Sedan most among
enclosed cars, is becoming appar
ent to more people every day.
Franklin Sedan performance is continually proving that
a light, flexible enclosed car can travel unusually long dis
tances in a day without exhausting rider or driver. And
more motorists are' seeing daily that this' car can go where
heavy, rigid ones' can not. This explains the rapia increase
in Franklin Sedan ownership.
Then, too, the general advertising tendency toward light
weight and flexibility Franklin principles for, seventeen
years-y-is teaching people what gives economy, comfort,
usability and long life to a car. And die value of year
round usefulness, only possible with Direct Air Cooling
(no water to boil or freeze) has become apparent through
owner comparisons. No one disputes today the advantages
of the proved economy resulting from
20 miles to the gallon of gasolint
12,500 miles to the set of tires
50 slower yearly depreciation
Wide" Observation Windows giving unobstructed out
look, and two Wide Doors increasing vision and making
access easy, combine with the Slanting V-shaped Wind
shield andf the Sloping French- style Hood to distinguish
the Franklin Sedan from commonplace designs. They also
identify it as the car of unequalcd performance.
Let 11s prove the Franklin Car to you. Whatever precon
ceptions you have of what a cat should do, or -whatever
recollections, you have of what your Cars have done, will be
exceeded by Franklin performance, over roads of your choice.
