10 V/e Have Shown a Lot of People; Let Us Show You THERE are some people even now who hold to the old belief that a car must be heavy to be comfortable. Yet we know that these same people, when they were using horses, carefully avoided vehicles of the heavy type. Finally, it got to the point where carriage builders made nothing but light vehicles. And they also ask: "Will a light car hold the road?" Yes, indeed, better than heavy cars, else why should the fastest rac ing cars these days weigh around 2200 pounds? The Franklin Company had all of these questions figured out years ago. Franklin cars were never anything but light cars. They never would have given Franklin results, had they been otherwises constructed. To-day the Franklin Touring Car weighs 2280 pounds. Not one of the enclosed cars weighs more than 2620 pounds. You can judge from this the economy, safety, ease of handling, comfort. But here we are telling you a lot of things that an hour's ride would prove to you. If you have ever questioned the performance of a scientific-light weight car, such a ride will tell you a big and interesting story. We are ready any time you are. E. W.
