Tho Franklin scored another tri-
umph at tho San Francisco show.
Tho number OF sales made during the
week was only n surface indication
OF the real success with which tho

vorable comment made at the show

that tho new design car will find
ready market among all classes of
buyers.
THE economy OF tho Franklin

seek thrift above everything else.
It's ease Of riding makes II appeal to
those who desire comfort above other
considerations and with whom price

models appeals to the fastidlous-
those who want appearance and good
looks. The alr-cooled principle OF

number OF followers, and It seems TO

OF the most popular cars OF 1921.

their allotments OF cars on the
