We have said much about the gasoline
economy of the Franklin; much about
the efficiency of the Franklin as a whole
But never without offering proof.
On July 13, 1917, we joined 178 other
Franklin dealers throughout the coun-
try to prove again the efficiency of the
Franklin by simple but practical test
of running a stock car on a gallon of
gasoline to see how far it would go.
Result: the Grand National Average
of 4O.3 miles on a single gallon of gaso-
Uncover good as well as bad roads, in
fair as we'll as windy and rainy weather.
Our own stock Franklin made 500
miles on a single gallon of gasoline.
(Affidavits, each sworn to by driver of
car and two observers, substantiate all
tests, including our own.)
Any Car Can Make This Test.
The procedure of these teses was
simple. A bottle containing one gallon
of commercial gasoline was attached to
the carburetor, the car was started, and
run until the fuel gave out.
Any car of any class can do that.

We welcome a thorough and cold
blo0ded investigation of the fundamen-
tails of Franklin efficiency and thrift.
Here Are the Reasons
We will show you about Franklin air

of 1T heavy and compicating gasoline
wasting parts found in the average wa
ter-cooled car.
We will show the scientific-light-
weight construction of the Franklin Car
how friction, dead weight, gasoline

How the very evident easy rolling
quality assures low operating cost, Incl
dentally long-life, for the Franklin.
And finally, that these same Franklin
which began with the
first Franklin 5 years ago, have always
been responsible for the remarkable eff
ficiency of the Franklin Car.
