TKere Are Three Big Reasons First, FRANKMN superiority in comfort, economy and endur ance. Second, because the FRANKLIN represents the ; "Most for the least money," amd the.people are finding it out Third, the inborn desire of every red-blooded human to pick a winner. The FRANKLIN Car is a Winner Make No Mistake on That Point No Other, Car at any price -compares. What other car yields 20 miles to the gallon of gasoline, arid 14,500 miles to the set of tires? None. What other fine car shows such a small yearly rate of depreciation? None; What other car has ever ' had a repeat business of anywhere near 96 per cent? None., This isPRANKLIN record for more than 15 years. When money is "tight" when the motor buying public is usually cautious, does not this remarkable tribute to a remarkable car plainly indicate that the FRANKLIN is the car you should own?
