TO TRIPLE
ANNUAL PRODUCTION

To triple the production rate with
In a years time, has been the task
OF the Franklin Automobile COM
pany, Syracuse. ". Y. Nineteen sew
enteen has been the greatest year in
this company's history. The peak OF
production Was reached the week OF
October 1, when es4 cars were turned
out an average of almost fffty-four
cars per day for the ave and one-half
working days of the week
August was the largest month in
the cornpany's history, when 1888
cars were shipped. In spite of this
fast growing output, it has been i'm
possible any time during the year for
the Franklin factory 10 catch up with
orders received. During the epring
season, untitled orders equalled ten
weeks production. and as late as
December !, In the midst of what is
generally considered the dull season,
the orders were still ahead of pro-
duction by eight weeks.
An interesting Indication of the
position which the Franklin car In
holding in the ligfx OF war condi-
tions, is shown by the jump which
marked tho period wfxan the United
States entered the war and when the
nationwide readjustments were being
made. Shipments during April, May,
June, July and August were far
ahead of the total shipments for the
entire year OF 1918 The compauy's
cash receipts for this period were
over 800 per cent greater than for
the Same period last year
To take care OF this tripied busi-
ness. the Franklin factory started
out at the beginning of the year With
practically doubled facilities The
last OF the buildings to bring the fac
tory capacity up TO 5000 cars year
La now completely equipped and In
operation. The total factory floor
space is sixteen and one-haif acres
This year, the number of employees
exceeded 5000 people. whose annual
paw reached SO, 500. 900.

CHANDLER HOLDS OLD
PRICE IN SPITE OF WAR

One OF the most notable develop
uents In the automobile field In re-
cent months has been the shifting of
prices not only in their upward climb
but in their relation to one another.
As . result groups OF cars that were
competitive with each other. because
OF similarity In price, have been
: broken up.
"A few months ago says James
Chandler Motor Car company of
CIevea nd. every Chandler dealer
had come to look upon a certain few
ears as his competitors In the sense
that a large number OF people hav-
ing decided upon spending approx
mately q certain price for q car.
would naturally examine or consider
two or three cars at about thai same
price"
The car buyers have not changed
but motor car prices have and so the
buyer who starts out to spend about
$500 for q car finds that while he
can still buy the Chandler at that
price. several cars that used to sell at
about the same price are now 1900
to $500 higher. And II he examines
the other cars selling around the
Cha ndler price he finds that they are
all cars that recently sold for much
less than Chandler.
This all sums up in the statement
that BY being able to maintain the
sarns price that has been in effect
tor sig months or more the Chandler
has gained . more strategic position
with respect to cars formerly In its
