Show BUYING STANDARD GOODS. At this day there is little excuse for purchasers of goods whether they be groceries, hardware, vehicles, or what not buying anything but the really best of standard articles and manufactures. The science of production pro-duction has reached a state where a reputable institution will not under take to place upon the market a manufacture man-ufacture which they cannot vouch for in every detail and guarantee every statement they make concerning it. It is interesting to note some of the differences and advantages in one vehicle ve-hicle of standard make over another, and perhaps no vehicle more interests the progressive citizen than the automobile. auto-mobile. In an interview with Hon. Geo. T. Odell, General Manager of the groat Consolidated Wagon & Machine Company, who is unquestionably unques-tionably one of the very best posted and practically-experienced Litto operator op-erator in the country, that gentleman, in speaking of the subject of the advantages ad-vantages of one machine over another, anoth-er, especially at this time of the year, said: "The man that points his finger at you when you have made a mistake, and tells you, "I told you so," am; ys you; and you will admit it is not good form to criticise a man who al ready knows that he has made a mistake, mis-take, but none the less we cannot help thinking this over, for during the summer months when the automobile trade is quite flourishing, we endeavored en-deavored to impress on a great many of our probable customers that the Franklin air-cooled car was the best automobile that money could buy. There arc many reasons why this is so, their extreme lightness, strength, durability, case of operation, and above all, the absence of water. There arc very few makes of air-cooled air-cooled cars, and an air-cooled car is very hard to make. Most any auto factory can make a water-cooled car. Mr. Grant Hampton's Franklin car has traveled over long stretches of sand on extremely hot days without any ill effects. The car belonging to myself has gone 6000 miles over the roughest roads in this state and has not had cylinder trouble. We said in the summer time, that the air-cooled Franklin car would not freeze and that there would be' many water-cooled cars in Salt Lake that would be practically ruined through being frozen. You understand that when a water - cooled automobile freezes it simply plays havoc the cylinders arc broken, the radiator and most of the connections arc damaged, requiring almost an entire new engine. It is safe to say, that today there are over 25 expensive automobiles that arc so damaged through the effect of the present cold spell. It is true that a person owning a water-cooled car can drain the water out or put in non-freezing non-freezing mixtures, but thdre arc so many of them that through press of ether matters, overlook points of this kind and neglect to prepare against frost. When you buy a Franklin automobile you get one that can be used any day of the year; you have no fear of engine getting hot on the hottest day, in the deepest sand, nor have you fear of frost on the coldest day. Think what this means, it really saves one-third of the work in looking look-ing after the car. You have only the gasoline and the lubricating oils to figure on, avoiding the failing of the radiator with water and the annoyance annoy-ance of leakings, boiling and freezing are entirely eliminated in the air-cooled air-cooled car. Think of this, Mr. Buyer, and if you want a car absolutely the best that is made in the United States, you will ret it in the FrChklin." fo drc glad to know that the M Franklin is in the responsible hands M of the Con.
