Franklin Has Best
Year in It's History

1920 proved to be the banner
year for the Franklin Automobile
company. for during that year TO-
5es cars were shipped from the Sy-
racuse factory. thus eclipsing all
previous records. The best previous
year was in 1919 when shipments OF
cars aggregated s.173.
December OF 1890 vas the most
successful December in the COM
pany's history, 1O41 cars having
been shipped and sold. on Decem-
Der 81 not a single completed car
was on hand at the factory.
AS indicative OF the recent heavy
demand for the FRANKLIN car il is
interesting to note that 4a.0O0
Frankiins were shipped and sold
during the past five years. For the
two year period ending December.
81, ls20, shipments OF cars aEgrega
ted 1879. which is double the
number Of cars shipped during the
five years beginning with i91I and
ending with 1915. This. too. Is
double the number OF cars shipped
during the nine year period begin
ming with 1893 and ending with

Auto Prices
OfFuture
Uncertain

Everyone is wondering whether
automobile prices will be higher oil
lower next summer. Announcement
which have been made since the
national automobile shows at New
York and Chicago have not helped
to solve the question. since these
announcements are apparently con-
flicting in natlre. Yet in this very
fact may be found the answer.
Cars which are simple in design
and economical of manufacture
may be expected to come down In
price. In fact. some manufacturers
OF cars in this class have already
announced reductions.
other types which require more
intricate production processes and
involve the use OF special materials
win continue at present prices and
In some cases will cost ILoTe. it is
pointed out.
In cutting down the cost Of a
motor car TO the public the first
essential is simplicity and efficien-
ey OF design. together with facility
OF production. An unusual achieve
ment in this department OF auto
motive engineering is the successful
revival of friction drive. a feature
which in a primitive form, render
ed several makes OF cars popular
for many years.

California To
Arrest Drivers
WhoLitter Roads

Los Angeles, March 19.--Discar-
ded lunch boxes. tin cans, bottles
and similar trash dumped along
highways of Southern California Sy
careless auto parties will lead to
arrests. according to a new plan an
nounced today for keeping the
highways clean. 1t Is hoped to start
a general movement that will ell
minate unslghtly rubbish dumps
along the beautiful roads built at
great expense through the land of
oranges.
While the entire blame for dirty
roadsides is not placed on auto
parties, they are responsible for a
great deal of the rubbish and will
be penaliZed. Riverside county is
the first to put the anu-rubbish
law into effect and it is expected
that other Southern California
counties win follow suit at once,
The campaign was inaugurated and
is bei prosecuted by the Automo-
bile club of Southern Californ
which has branches in a score OF
cities and a membership of over
20, 600
A check will be kept during the
coming year in order to test the ef-
ficiency of the campaign, which If
successful, is believed will be fol-
lowed in other parts of the United
States where there are favorite au-
to touring spots.

Bare Talk, Says Ex-
pert.

There Is no mystery about the
present pause for breath in bust
ness. The readjustment mears sim
ply this-Yes Yesterday is was ques-
tion Of supplying the market--To-
day it is a question of marketing
the supply. Industry has turned
from production to selling ba-
sis. For five years the cry has been
production. To-day the cry is for
sales.
In this readjustment there has
been much talk of liquidation. But
there must be liquidation of more
than materials and supplies-there
must be liquidation of methods

--of doing business built up by the
artificial conditions of the last few
years.
Selcctive Buying Returns.
In the last four or five years buy
ers, especially of automobiles, have
stood in line to purchase not par
ticular car but the first car on
which they could get delivery. Val
ue became a secondary considera
ton.
Today selective buying power has
been restored. The buyer is seek

manufactures the double task OF

Selling Becomes Need.
1t is no longer a question of sup
plying the buyer. The task con
fronting business today is selling
the buyer. And the real burden OF
reconstruction is falling on the
shoulders of the sales organization.
In carrying this burden, Ameri-
can salesmanship must get back toI
fundamentals. 1t must ask Itself
what is selling?" Is it simply or
der taking? Is it signing up an
order, sending it into the factory
and forgetting about it.
The day of jaw-boned, have-a-ci-
gar salesmanship is at an end. The
successful sales organization today
is the one that realizes 1t must give
service if it would get business. II
must have a clear conception OF
the needs of the industry it serves.

on the pulse of the trade.

Autos Wrecked
For Insurance
Police Auege

Buffalo, March 19.-The finding
of the wrecks of seventeen autos
at the foot of cliff on the south
shore of Lake Erie, few miles
west of Buffalo, has convinced the
police that companies insuring ag-
ainst theft have been systematical-
ly cheated. Insurance companies, IN
self defense, are carefully examin-
ing candidates for insurance of this
kind,
In this Lake shore graveyard of
automobiles are makes of many
sorts, from the plain runabout up
to the pretentious limousine. Marks
on the edge of the IS foot cliff and
the condition of the machines in
dicate that the automobiles were
set afire before being sent over.
The theory of the police is that
the machines were stolen from the
owners, insured against theft under
fictitious names, reported stolen so
that the insurance could be collec-
led and then destroyed to prevent
detection for theft.
Police records show that in three
months, 484 cars were stolen, Al
Of which were found burned or
destroyed and 108 are still listed as
missing.

Cost of Auto to the

Ration to Care and

preciate the fact that our automo-
biles are shorter lived than they
ought to be, and that during the
comparative short life. we spend
too much money for keeping them
running" says an old-time motor
list. las the average man says,
1t isn't the first cost. but the up
keep that bothers me- Upkeep
on fairly good car is directly pro-
portional to the attention you give
to three vital factors-lubrication
adjustment and careful driving.
Unless all three are followed out,
your motoring is costing you more
than it might. know a great many
owners driving medium priced
cars who cut their cost per mile
down to less than railroad mileage
for one person, and l know own
ers of the same make and model
whose cost runs to 10 cents a mile
and more. If one owner can run
at cents a mile. with full load,
any owner can-if he will try.
your automobile represents a
valuable investment, and you can
not protect that investment by an
occasional visit to a service station
or a little oiling here and there
whenever you happen to think of
it. Your instruction book tells you
to do certain things at certain
times, and if you don't do these
things you must be satisfied with
a high cost per mile of travel. In
many cases it Is pure laziness on
the part of the owner that keeps
him from doing some work on the
car every week; or in other cases
it is ignorance; in still other cases
lack of time. If you haven't time
you must pay someone else to do
the work at the proper time. If
you don't know anything about the
mechanism of your car it is your
business to learn to be satisfied
with high depreciation and high
mileage cost.
"If you had $500 or $4,000 in
vested in a number of COWS or
horses, you wouldn't feed them
whenever you happened to think
of it. or clean them when you were
reminded by some sympathetic
lover of animals. Machinery talks
pretty loudly some times. and when
it talks it drags gold out of your
pocketbook. Machinery, like an an

est cost per mile. and you Will also

Unless you know every point
