Show FRANKLIN I Automobiles I I . You can, tay ky e pound- J ' I I nor carrying-ability either 4( I I I The Franklin automobiles are the lightest-weight automobiles of their power. They are as easy- fl riding as the finest horse-drawn carriage. And they are abler and more durable than if they weighed 1 twice as much. The 5-passcngcr Franklin Type D, for example, rides so smoothly that no automobile but a Franklin can keep up with it on ordinary roads. It weighs under 2,200 pounds. It carries its load farther in a day than 5-passcngcr automobiles that weigh seven hundred to a thousand pounds Vfl niorc ; and it is doubtful if any of these could stan d such a hard-driving test as Type D went through in its 40-hour Chicago to New York run. Its price is $2,850, yet its efficient air-cooled engine and t , JlM light wciglit make it cost less in six months than a heavy automobile of considerably lower price. - m- The Franklin Type G family touring car, costing $1,850 and weighing only 1,600 pounds, does , more work than any other 2,000-pound automobile and costs less to run. ' The 6-cylinder 7-passcngcr Type II at $4,000, like all Franklins, is completely free from vibration or jolting. And it is the ablest high-power touring car ever built; yet it weighs 500 pounds less than H the average 5-passengcr 4-cylinder automobile, and is more economical to maintain. Attention is called to the Frontispiece, being a picture of a Franklin Air Cool, 6-cylinder, 7-pass- H enger, 42 II. P. Touring car, weighing 2,600 lbs., which since its purchase by Mr. Odcll in June, has H practically covered 3,000 miles of territory, going as far south as Richfield, Sevier County, and north H to Idaho Falls, Idaho. When returning from the latter point and leaving Paradise in Cache Valley H H with llarnard White as one of the guests, the car passed up a canyon nearly 10 miles in length, be- H tween Paradise and Mantua, Box Elder County. This being the first trip made from Paradise up the H canyon referred to, by any automobile, in honor of the event the name was changed to "Franklin H H Canyon" by Mr. White. H H Every Franklin automobile has four full-elliptic springs." These have a "movement" of Sia to iH H &y2 inches as compared with only about 2 inches in the ordinary half-spring before the frame bumps 1 H on something. And the Franklin wood-frame is laminated (built up in layers) so that it is stronger ? than a pressed steel frame, and absorbs shocks and vibrations as steel will not do. . H A ride in a Franklin automobile will probably give you an entirely new standard of comfort as H well as ability. H I FOR FURTHER PARTICULARS SEE US I 1 CONSOLIDATED WAGON & MACHINE CO.
