More charity for others will mean more charity for ourselves and we will gradually come to take keener delight in reporting, something good of some person than something bad.

Franklin Sedan
Now 53% of Factory Output
Introduces Fall Models
30 Improvements

The sum and substance of Franklin Sedan per-
formance is road ability.
Watch the Franklin Sedan pull away from the
procession any road. That tells the story.
It's brilliant new six motor puts it in the front
ranks for ability on hills and level stretches.
Its wonderful new air-pressure cooling systern
will perform perfectly under conditions that
would stop any other motor made. 1t will
all day with wide-open throttle without loss of
power.
Air-cooling lets YOU use it in any season. Flex-
ibility lets you in any road. Light weight j
let's YOU use it without fatigue for hours on end !
That means a higher average rate Of speed
And explains why the franklin Sedan will OUT
distance any other sedan over days run.
With unequaled gasoline and tire economy!
The Franklin Sedan is the ideal winter car-the
only one that protects itself well it's passen-
gers. 1t has radiator-uses water-needs
attention.
You can use your Franklin Sedan daily, when
other closed cars are alternating, lacked UP on
blocks.
1t runs lightly where heavier cars dig in. 1t has
less tendency TO skid on icy streets.
Your garage need not be heated. You don't
have to fuss with anti-freeze radiator compounds.
You have no radiator TO drain.
You can put up your Franklin at night and
forget about it. An electric vaporizer insures
quick starting the next morning.
The Franklin Sedan knows no handicaps of
road or weather. Its four-door aluminium body
with the latest CONSTITUTIONAL features guards
against the shocks and strains of the hardest

Every detail is built to last. Upholstery is Of =

These latest Franklin cars are/the elimination
of the many advancements which in one year have
sent franklin popularity to its present remark
able heights.
Thirty new improvements add to quietness of
motor and body efficiency of fabrication, long life
permanencyo of adjustment, restfu driving, simple
control, complete protection and good appearance.
These notably increase the motoring satisfac-,
tion derived from the powerful six motor, double
Aywheel, air-pressure cooling system, fuel trans
former, rotary air-cleaner, light reciprocating
parts, and case-hardened crankshaft-al brought
out with the first Series 10 one year ago.
Franklin production for 1928 to date is far
ahead of any previous year. And 53% of output
is now devoted to the Sedan model alone.
There are reasons for this record percentage.
The Franklin Sedan weighs only 2743 pounds
from 500 to 1000 pounds less than those which
claim to compete with it in performance.
Light weight doesn't hammer on rough roads,
nor naire in sand, mud or snow.
It doesn't pound the life out of tires.
1t adds to riding comfort, and it lessons the
load on the engine.
And it makes this Sedan the quickest to start
and stop, the easiest to steer. No strength is
needed to turn curve, and the Car straightens
: out again automatically.
lnl8 10 the perfect car EOr n1eK1DeF Oh the
family to drive.
The Franklin Sedan is resiIient-no rigid rods
or braces to transmit shocks. Four-point body
suspension and full-elliptic springs leave the
tough, three-ply, shock-absorbing wood frame
free to hex.
This means protection for the car, comfort for
the passengers, and sure road-holding qualities,
under all conditions of service. Ii means that
the Franklin Sedan can be used when and where
others cannot.
With greater safety! For in other is the
Franklin's transmission braking system dupli-
Gated.
The service brake acts the drive-shaft,
where the force is multiplied 80 times, and is de
livered equally to the two rear wheels by the
differential.
Consequently, Franklin brakes the safest to
apply with maximum force at top speed.
Their power exceeds the brake efficiency stand-
ard by from 70% TO 1907, according to speed.
