Buyers OF EMF 80 and Flanders go
cars are the best statesmen we have" says
Mr.. VogelsonR OF the EMF company
Once q man has purchased one Of these
world beating automobiles he Is chalked
down as a salesman. I'VE know by past
performances that he will be a booster
Our satisfied users extend from Maine to
the Golden Gate and one very seldom finds
a secondhand EMF or Flanders car In
the market Personally ] know that there
are fewer cars Of these types in the second
hand market than any other car made, re-
gardless Of price or power.
There is one supreme test Of an auto
mobile-the test Of time. The motor car
which fulfiGs these conditions must be the
one well worth while. The products Of the
EMF company have passed the test Of
time-they are worth while The automobile
buying public know what these cars can do
Those who own other makes know too well
how many times they have been passed on
the hills by the EMF company's products.
Let every prospective motor car buyer con-
scientiousy compare EMF specifications
with those Of cars selling at any price and
he will longer wonder at the unpre-
cedented success and wonderful growth of
the EMF company"

Guy Smith said: THE cost Of tires il
Acknowledged to be one OF the chief costs
OF maintenance Of an automobile, In their
endeavor to solve the tire problem many
manufacturers or owners have only served
TO increase the actual expense which they
have been forced to bear. That the tire
problem has been solved by the designers
out by the records of 1910 owners, which
show an average mileage In excess OF $500
without puncture and frequently 10000
miles
In contrast with other cars FrankIins,
admittedly superior in economy Of tire
service, do not use demountable rims. The
adoption OF demountable rims by many
cars has not solved the difficulty. but APP
parently has only served to make the tire
bill as large as possible. They have proved
satisfactory so far as they could go in
aiding quick tire change. but they have
not and cannot be expected to reduce the
cost Of tire expense. Engineers have come
to the point where they are willing to say
that the only solution Of tire difficulties
is to use tires that are large enough to
carry the weight put upon them.
III the tire sizes used on the 1871 models
are to be accepted as an indication of tire
service Tor the coming year Franklin air
cooled automobiles seem to be in a position
to increase their present high average.
Franklins are very light Ia weight, and
the tires used Franklin models are
much larger than those ordinarily used on
other cars OF the same size and carrying
capacity, but Of much greater weight
Taking the figures OF the manufacturers
OF the Franklin car as one basis OF com
putation and the guaranteed carrying ca
paeity OF the tires as given by their manu-
facturers as another basis. Franklin tires
on the largest model of the Franklin have
a carrying capacity Of 1000 pounds in ex-
cess OF the weight put upon them. This
1900 pounds represents what Franklin en-
ginsers can factor OF safety"
