There's no need of its being enormously bulky and heavy to carry people and climb and go. No automobile ever built has such clean-cut usable ability as the Franklin model H touring-car, or is so delight- ful to ride in and strong and safe; yet it weighs less than 2500 pounds. It has a 42 horse-power engine with six cylinders. It carries seven passengers. It is capable of 55 miles an hour. There is no jolting, no jar, no vibration. All this splendid ability can be used to the limit on all sorts of roads with an easefulness and security and inde- pendence never approached in any other automobile. Franklins don’t have to be bulky and heavy. They have no water-cool- ing apparatus to carry, And every Franklin has a laminated wood frame and four full-elliptic springs, and large wheels and tires, All this climinates jar and shock and the necessity for bulk and heaviness. ‘The Franklin Type Dis the greatest of five-| The Type G is the only high-erade, small passenger automobiies:— automobile :— Powerful, commodious and strong, but not |” Moderate in size, light in weight and as re- bulky nor heavy.
