Inc FRANKLIN taNcab cars are most com
Portable and protect passengers from rain
and chilly winds In addition to their
qualities as easy-riding cars, they are
! handsome. They are, indeed, advertised
as cars beautiful by the manufacturers
because Of their pretty ooloDfngs and
curving body lines. The tires on these
cars are large but strong and resilient.
They are large tires on a lightweight easy
riding type of automobile The road
shocks are taken up by the springs and
the tires are not pounded to pieces. 1t is !
a JOY to ride about in one Of these cars.
lhey are so Deautiful that to occupy

companies find that people from thcaters.

usually call for taxis at about the same
