Drummond said: Probably the most re-
markable demonstration Of fuel economy
ever made, even by a White Steamer,
which requires a minimum OF gasoline. was
recently recorded by H.. B.. Scott in south
ern Kansas. Mr. Scott, Chanute, Kan,
who is an owner OF q 1910 kerosene burn
Ing White Steamer. during the four weeks
this fall after the delivery OF his machine,
Travelled 2,I74 miles over Kansas roads. his
fuel maintenances for that mileage
amounting TO H.48. This remarkable record
of fuel economy is accounted for TO some
degree by the fact that Mr.. Scott's White
Steamer is ono OF the Kerosene burning
type and he lives in an oil producing re-
gion and can get his kerosene at a low
price, This fuel cost is an average OF less
than one-third cent a mile and is the more
remarkable that the mileage was made
exclusively on rough country roads"
Guy Smith said: THE same reasons that
make the Franklin easy on tires make IL
easy to ride In Il. Vibrations from road
shocks are taken up, not transmitted
through the automobile to the passenger as
Is the ease with rigid steel-frsme and semi
elliptic spring construction. And the larger
the tires to the weight OF an automobile
the easier 1t rides. You can ride long dis
tances in a Franklin without fatigue. Your
nerve system is not put under strain by
vibration and jolting.'
