upon American roads.
Four years ago Model H six-cylinder Franklin
set the record and Its time has
been equaled approached. In fifteen days, two
hours and twelve minutes it covered the distance
from San Francisco to New York.
That achievement stands, and has stood
constant challenge to all.
The transcontinental run. in anything like record
time, the greatest of all automobile touring
1t presents every known type of difficulty, from mud
fats steep mountain grades, from miles of sand to
rocky climbs
That the Franklin makes the fastest touring time
everywhere American roads is due not only to
the power of its engine but to the resiency of con-
struction.
Resiliency gives not only riding comfort and
makes the automobile a smooth and easy traveller,
but the resilient automobile is the stronger
and lighter it can be.
Franklin Model H is the highest example of six
cylinder engineering. There is a peculiar charm in
its six-cylinder smoothness and hexibity 1t takes
the hills only perfect sx-cynder 1t is ex-
ceptionaly quiet. There is complete absence of
the jarring and jotng; you feel vibration. 1t is
difficult to realize that big powerful automobile
be guided and maneuvered with such freedom and
ease 1t rides like the finest carriage. 1t answers
any tests to which it is put hills or levels.
