TINE demonstrations of the reliability of tho
Franklin Car that have taken place all over
i the country are intended merely to eaHanention
to this Franklin advantage-not to provs it. Its
daily performance in the hands of its owners is
doing that.
Yet the consistency with which Franklin Cars
are making and breaking road records from
point to point is significant to most motorists,
for the cars used are stock models and differ in
no way from the average Franklin.
Why Franklin Averages Fast Time
The above performances are feats only made
possible by Franklin principles of light weight,
flexibility, and correct balance. They make rid
ing comfortable and handling easy and safe
under all conditions. Rough stretches and sharp
turns therefore do not slow the Franklin up as
they do other cars.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1920-01-19

And with heavy, rigid weight eliminated, delays
due to tire accidents are almost unknown. These
six runs mentioned produced only one puncture
and no blowouts. In daily use the average is
better: three punctures in the life of a complete
set of tires-12, 500 miles.
No Cooling Trouble Delays
Important in the making of these records Is
Franklin direct air cooling (no water to boil or
freeze. Leaky radiators and over-heating never
halt the Franklin.
Particularly of late, motorists are hearing much
about light weight without seeing its results
demonstrated. We shall be glad to show you,
on the scales and on the road, what genuine light
weight is and what it does.

Audible Ring Replaces

When you hear low, burr-r-ing
sound as you use the telephone, rs
though bell were ringing far off
in the distance, it is not an intermit-
tent alarm clock sounding of in the
telephone central, but new signal
known as the audible ring. BY it the
telephone user may know that the con-
'ncction with the number (perhaps the
one desired) has been accomplished.
The signal, which is softer and
more drawn out sound than the "line
is busy; return your money" alarm,
begins it subdued burr as soon as the
operator has established the connec-
ton. 1t continues to burr-r for sew
cral seconds, pauses decent. moment,
and begins anew, keeping up this al
ternate performance until the called
telephone answers or the girl announces
that the number does not ot>respond.
When the announcement that the
telephone company had completed the
installation Of the new signal through
out the central Offices in the city was
received last night, an inquisitive re-
porter made several test calls which
brought the burr-r-ring sound to the
fore in from two to nine seconds.

that both of them were unbalanced

in it. He said that Nathaniel W. Crop
