All Franklins are light in weight, strong, easy to operate, easy to control and to care for, and economical. No Franklin is over-heavy, over-powered for its use, nor over-expensive. Type H touring-car, the most superb-riding automobile in the world, weighs under 2500 pounds. It has six cylinders. It seats seven people and leaves ample luggage room. Even as a five-pas- senger automobile it is better—cheaper, safer, more comfortable, than any five-passenger water-cooled automobile. In using it you do not feel the weight. It has none of the burden and anxieties of a heavy touring-car. It is roomy and luxurious, but not ponderous—not a road-locomotive. It has the feeling and flexibility of a small automobile, and the independence that goes with it. The question of touring is a question of comfort. The more comfort the better average speed can be made, Every Franklin automobile has four full-elliptic springs and a lami- nated wood frame, the only combination that produces easy and perfect riding quality. If you have ever ridden in a Franklin you know this. All Franklins are free from the bulk and complication of water- cooling and have been from the start (seven years ago). Therefore Franklins are lighter and simpler. And they are free from. the extravagant using-cost that makes all heavy automobiles unreason- ably expensive to own. In style and in high-grade construction Franklins lead all American makes. They cost the most to build and the least to own. They meet the requirements of family and business use as no others do. Of all automobiles they are the most practical and sensible. Prove this. Go to a dealer; and try a Franklin.
