consumer much more than they do
now and that was one of the reasons
why
Equipment to make SO many tire
sizes cost great deal of money. Then
too in the years when SO many sizes
were called FOR, there was less scion

FRANKLIN SALES
SETTING NEW RECORD

Reports from the Franklin factory,
received by J. korber & Co, local
agency, show that the Franklin sales
are jumping everywhere, The orders
received at the factory last week were
2Sg per cent ahead of the orders for
the Same week last year while the
previous week showed an increase in
orders Of l52 per cent over the same
week in 1915.
Franklin business for 1915 showed
an increase of 80 per cent over 1914
The actual increase in the number of
cars was ] 1856.
THE Franklin Is proving itself the
fastest selling high grade car In AM

sold than any other car at or above
It's price. And they stay sold, too.

CHAL MERS SERVICE
PLAN is SUCCESS

After six months trial by owners
the new Chalmers service plan has
proved to DO an entire success. ac-
cording to reports from dealers from
all sections of the country. Under
the Chalmers plan, service was made
for the first time, a tangible asset.
With each Chalmers car sold Is in
Guided a leather book with loo one

table at the establishment Of any
Chalmers dealer in the United States
or Canada. In broader sense, the
plan has proven TO be beneficial
one to the entire automobile indus
try, as It defines the word service
as understood by the automobile
maker.
Contrary TO the popular belief. SER
vice is not free repair work, but rath-
err such inspection and adjustment as
is necessary during the first few
months of the life Of car to insure
perfect running.

probable that there is a duplication OF
effort, needless and expensive among
inherent bureaus. Or il may be that
there Is no longer any real national
need of some certain work taken up
many years ago by a bureau and new
er relinquished. II is so easy in this
government-or any government, for
that matter-for something of that
sort to happen.
Investigations made by the COM
mission on economy and efficiency
revealed an astonishing situation in
the matter of purchasing government
supplies. The variation in prices
paid by different departments for the
same classes of articles was great. In
dividual effort by some OF the depart
ments has brought some reform, but
the idea of establishing one central
purchasing agency for the entire gov
ernment is worthy of consideration.
The magnitude of the task OF re-
organizing and readjustng the gov
eminent machinery in all its branch
es seems appalling on its face. but
really it should possess no terrors.
There is no business, not even the
great business of government, that
can not be put on a sound, scientific
basis. Mere bulk is not a handicap
in the solution Of any business pro-
blem. But accurate knowledge OF
the exact facts as to the cost of gov
eminent, unit costs I mean, is essen

Three years ago automobile manufacturers began
cutting their eye teeth on high speed motors.
The value of high speed in electric motors or steam
turbines had long been recognized
But the application of highspeed principles to gas
engines difficult to achieve with safety.
Now comes the remarkable 34OO r. p Chalmers
which develops an engine speed of 340O revolutions
per minute Nth absolute safety.
Chalmers engineers solved the problem of safe, high
engine speed by means of strength of materials SINAI;
compact bearing surfaces and ample fabrication.
They did not translate the speed ofthis 3400r. p m
engine into mere speed 1t is built for the road not
the race-track.
It's hgh-speed engine. used in connection with
low axle gear ratio, achieves vast range of hex
bity that is worth to the motorist than all the
two-mile minute speed on earth

An engine of might can give you one oftwo things:
great speed wealth of great and smoothness-
never both.
1t did not take Hugh Chalmers long to decide He
knew what American drivers prize beyond all things else
So he built the principles of supreme acceleraton
combined with all the necessary might into the abso
lutely minimum and most compact amount of engine
possible.
The result is the 34O0 r. p. M Chalmers at slo5o,
blend Of ability and strength fsing uncanny perform
ancc with canny thrift delivering speed up to 60
miles hour, 1S miles for every gallon Of gas, and
longevity that will amaze and delight you.
