FRANKLIN SHOWS
ITS FULL WORTH
Automobile Put Through Hard
List Over Rough Roads for
Sixteen Hours

Automobiling in some sections of the
middle west presents some difficulties
not encountered elsewhere; but in spite
of this George Bingham of Minneapolis
recently made the trip from Britton,
S. D., to Minneapolis with his Franklin
touring car with an average of 29.2
miles per hour.
The trip extended through 16 hours,
the total mileage for the route covered
being 327 miles. The shortest distance
between the two points is 290 miles.
With Bingham were his wife and two
children and S. f. Forrest. The road
conditions are indicated by the fact
that in the Sisseton reservation, the
motor car being mired. 80 minutes was
taken in extricating it. A dinner stop
of an hour was made at Morris and a
35 minute stop was made at Willmar.
Forrest, after the trip, made the dec
laration that in spite of excessive heat,
wind and rough roads, the engine had
run perfectly and the car had gone
through without delay or attention.
There was no damage and little less
than 16 gallons of gasoline were used,
proving the Franklin's economy.

PULLMAN MAKES
A splendid RUN
Hard Test for New Car Over
Eastern Roads Results
With Success

The Pullman makers have always
been proud of the performance of their
machines in road service and the de-
pendability Of the Pullman as a general
utility car has been so often demon
strated that it is now taken for granted
that any Pullman car will duplicate the
performance of any of its predecessors
in endurance runs. That this general be-
lief is not unfounded was demonstrated
in a recent test TO which a Model K,
1911, 35 horsepower, car was put. This
run is described in a letter just re-
ceived from the factory. 1t says:
ION recent trip out of Bridgeport, j.
Y. Schenck of this city drove a brand
new 1911 Pullman toy tonneau in
test run Of $50 miles in three days,
running through New York state via
Tarrytown. UP the Hudson, through
Troy back to Cedar Hill and Athens.
crossing the river TO Hudson and back
TO Albany, returning home through
Massachusetts, through Pittsfield, Great
Darlington and lenox.
During the trip the machine crossed
the ONboW mountains, the Pullman
being the third car that passed through
those mountains successfully this year.
The 1911 Pullman went through this
trip without a single adjustment or
repair and averaging 13 or II miles to

White CARS have
MANY ADVANTAGES
Assistant Coast Manager II. E.
D0ty Tells of the Points
Wherein Auto Excells

speaking of the new White gasoline
models, H. E. Doty, assistant coast
manager of the White company, said:
The White gasoline car has all the
advantageous features of the high
powered car and the economy of up
keep of the small machine; it does
everything the big car can do except
possibly speed more than 60 miles an
hour, and 1t saves on fuel, oil, tires and
every incidental expense. 1t possesses
all the requirements of the most ex-
penslve machines, including features
which only few of the highest priced
American. cars possess These features
simph1y the construction as well as in
crease the efficiency. The en- bloc cas-
ings are imported from France, because
the French foundries produce better
castings than are made in America.
French castings are more expensive
and that initial expense is increased by
the added import duty and cost of
transportation"
according to an eminent European
motor car designer a marked improve
ment that the White gasoline car has
oreught to automobile construction is
the endeavor to- give the driver dash
board that does not simulate cross
between bric-a-brac cabinet and a
locomotive drivers control plate. Tne
clear dash" is a move decidedly in the
right direction.

1911 Chalmers Motor Cars
Will Arrive August 18th
Refined But Practically Unchanged 1909 and 1910 Good Enough
1909 and 1910 Good Enough

In 1909 the Chalmers was heralded by all
the automobile trade journals the foremost
American car, it having won more hrsts, sec
onds and thirds in road races than any other
Car engaging in such contests during that year.
In 1910 the Chalmers $50" was declared
winner of the 1910 Glidden Tour.
Think what this means. The Glidden Tour
the most famous and most strenuous relia-
bility contest for motor cars in the world
won by stock touring cara duplicate OF
which you buy for $1,5oo.
Think what this means to automobile buy
ers. Those who have said: wait until we
can buy real Car for medium price, then
well have one" need wait no longer. We
know of no stronger proofs that could be
given that it is now possible to buy real Car
at medium price than the Chalmers 80" has
given in the past two years-the Glidden vic
tory being the crowning triumph.
All that any car can do this car has done.
In fact, it has proved conclusively that it can
do more than most cars do, for it has sue
ceeded where others have failed.
In every Glidden Tour some car has won
pre-eninence, and some was bound to gain
pre-en1inence in this years tour But always
before Car costing $4,000 or more has been
the winner.
That Car costing only $780, the lowest
priced car in the tour, with only one exception,
should win the most trying automobile contest
ever held is more than sensation-it is rev.
olution-and the effects of it will be felt in the
automobile business for many day to come.
This tour is not only victory for the Chal-
mers Motor Company. 1t is victory for the
public-the public, which is always demanding
of the manufacturer-not high priced cars, not
low priced cars-but good cars at right prices

Refined But Practically Unchanged

IN GENERAL, the greatest Improvement
on the 1911 Chalmers consists in refinement of
detail, like the artists final touch to the mas
terpiece. Lines have been beautihed in body
no car, whether it costs 900 or more, affords
more eye-delight than the Chalmers.
On luxury-priced cars, the purchaser natur-
ally expects not only the highest standard of
workmanship but the MOST costly materials,
whether upholstery, trimmings paint. Never
before has it been possible to duplicate this
cellence in moderate priced car-for exam
pie, the Chalmers go" receives sixteen coats
of paint, requiring five weeks to finish it.
IN DETAIL-the curves just back of the
tonneau doors have been Strengthened out,
making the low, rakish, straight-lined bodies
which every maker strives hard to obtain.
The seats have been lowered, adding materially
to the riding comfort.
The tonneaus ,of both "3o' and "Forty"
have been made longer and wider. The fen
ders have been changed slightly, adding to the
graceful appearance of the and at the same
time affording greater protection from water
and mud.
The brackets supporting the running boards
are fastened inside the frame, making the ex-
terror of the appear perfectly smooth.
On the "30' the dash, heel boards and the
door strips are of black walnut, on the Forty
Circassan walnut. All handles, holdings,
levers, etc.. are shapely and massive.
The battery box has been placed under the
tonneau floor and tool box big enough to.
hold pump placed the left running board,
change that every driver will praise.
Both the 80" and Forty" motors remain
unchanged in principle, although small refine
ments of detail and Workmanship insure that
they will be even smoother running and
quieter than before, without sacrifice of
power, which is too often the in so called
Silent cars.
