They have four children, and have
the same number. l was brought

she had her husband go and make

friend of theirs and had him call ON

How Big Should the Gasoline Tank Be?

But when a car not only does this, but
increases it sales-135% last year against
the 129O increase of all other fine carS-it con-
clusively proves one thing: that great many
thoughtful people have selected that car as
meeting the needs of today.
You've heard people all around you talk
ing Franklin and High Gasoline Mileage;
your common sense tells you that it can't be
an accident there must be facts back of it.
Drop in the Franklin Sales Room and get
the facts. The Franklin story is short and
simple, and there isn't an eff or but in it.
The remarkable Franklin Sales increase is
just the eliminating triumph of car that has
been piling up Economy Records for sixteen
years.

With one fi1ling-27O miles to go-how
big should the Gasoline Tank of a car be?
Your answer to the above question would
undoubtedly be: at depends on how much
gasoline car needs"
Exactly.
The Franklin Car Con the left scientific
ally free from unnecessary weight, runs 27O
miles on its gasoline tank capacity of 1872
gallons, at the rate of 20 miles to the gallon.
The average heavy car ION the right to
run the same distance would require
cumbersome gasoline tank of 81 gallons at
the rate Of ten miles to the gallon.
Why?
Simply because of the mechanical law
as old as the ages-that weight requires power

Airplane Over Laclede

Laclede got it's first glimpse of
an airplane in action when one of
the big war machines circled over
town dropping paper bombs boost
ing the liberty bonds, Wednesday
afternoon. 1t was flying at high
altitude but the rapid exhaust of
the motor could be heard and
many got good view of it. The
machine came from the south, cir
cled over town and went west.
Some of the bombs were found
by Ethel Garside, Fern Thurman
and Bernice Chinn that evening in
the wood near the Garside home.
Here is part of the message:
This little message from the sky
has chosen you as it's goal. Buy a
bond today; keep the han on the
run with dollar and gun. Join
the great, irresistible, worldwide
movement that is marching on to
victory and world freedom. "
