UNIQUE FEATURES IN DEM| # DAN OF FRANKLIN ORIGIN
Shows Attainment of Perfect Enclosure and UnobStruct-
 ed OpenneSS in One Car

An exhibition of interest in auto mobile circles features the new demi- sedan introduced this month by the Franklin Automobile company.
 The demi sedan, now the subject of country wide newspaper announce ments. reveals an advancement in motor car design exclusive with the Franklin. Its invention brought to motordom the original all-purpose. llseason car. priced only slightly above the open car. In affording both protection of perfect enclosure and also the unobstructed openness and unlimited usefulness of tour ing model. this Franklin is unique.
 The new body is built with plate glass panels mounted in the four doors and rear quarters and fitted closely into strongly framed top which is integral with the body prop CT. The glass enclosure presents an extra ordinarily large and clear area for outlook and driving vision. Any degree of ventilation desired is se- cured by sliding the windows in. their felt channels and by regulation of the cowl ventilators. The transfor- nation from enclosure to openness is effected by simple change of win dow panels.
 It's interior may presage new trend in body trimming. Upholstery is of dbuffed leather, the top is lined with Whip-cord and the floor IS covered with horse-hair mats, which materials are capable of withstand ing the hardest usage. The instru- ment board and fixtures are attract i've in their Dural finish with lus- trous pyralin inlay, and never tar nish.

First Quarter EcIipses All Marks-March Sales Great
 est In History

Sales of Hupmobiles the country over for the first three months o1 1928 were nea rly double those fol the best previous first quarter; ma terialiy exceeded those for the recoro three months business Of April, May and June, 1929: and MarcE sales were SssS greatest oI any single month ir lhe 15 years of the IGpp Motor Cal corporations history
 This announcement made yester- day by H. M. Barley of the Motor Sales corporation, local Hupmobile dealers, is indicative of the tremen- dous demand over he entire United States for motor cars manufactured : by the older and move firmly estab- lished motor car companies
 Hupmobile sales for the first quar- ter of 1923 totaled 12.p34 cars of the 10000 scheduled to be produced in 1923, compared with .3Ne for the first three months of 1922, and Il, ,290 for April. May and June. ] 922 M rrh sales were 6,024, eclipsing- the form CT rcord of June, 1922, by more 1000 cars. Export salesf or the first quar- ter were the greatest sltlce the lat ter part of 1920, the best export pe- riod in Hupp's history.
 March sales were actua lily above the production limits of the corpora tion, and exceeded 5000 cart only be- cause orders which should have been 1 shipped in February had to be held over into March, due to the inability of the railroads to furnish sufficient freight cars for shipment.
 Sales of Hupmobiles in eaoh of the first three months this year were considerably greater than for the largest previous corresponding month in the corporations history January sales more than doubled those of the : best previous January. February sales were 15S per cent of those of the greatest previous February and March business was was 10 per cent of that for March. 1922. the largest month in Hupp history up to that time.
 The 1923 Hupnobile is far and away the most popular car we have ever sold" declares MT. Bailey. "The factory is literally swamped with or ders. Hupmobile distributors and dealers are enjoying such a record business throughout the country that the Hupp Motor Car corporation has been compelled. in fairness to each of them, to inform them that for tb Q next several months 1t can deliver to them only the cars their contracts call far"

NEW MODEL TO JOIN THE STUDEBAKER LINE
Five Passenger Coach To Be Shown
 About May 1

J, H. Holcomb, Jr, of Garth Holcomb Motor company, has been advised by General Sales Manager Harry B. Harper that new model will be added to the Special Six line May l. This will be a five passenger closed model to he known as the Coach. It will carry special equip ment and the first model will be or display early in May, with deliveries after May 15.
 "Demand for all models, in open and closed types, continues to exceed the supply" says Mir. Holcomb. 'It looks like the entire selling season would find many of the leading lines of passenger cars unable to meet de- mand and make deliveries, although it seems inconsistent with the great increase in the volume of production by the factories.
 Our branch will be 50 per cent behind on deliveries by the end of the month. judging by present con- ditions, and with proportionate demand the remainder of the selling season it does not look as though the supply could catch up with sales"

EASY TO LUBRICATE
Jewett Designed So Little Trouble To
 Owner

There ise only one way to insure that the average automobile owner will lubricate his car properly. That is to make this task as brief and as easy s possible, according to L. H. Pennington, president of the Detroit Motor Car company.
 Americans are notoriously fax m caring for mechanical servants" says Mir. Pennington, probably because they dislike this job and feel that it should be handled automatically. The man who loves machinery does not need to be urged to take care of it, but he is in the minority.
 Most owners keep an adequate supply of oil in the motor and neg lect the chassis so that it becomes noisy. For this reason the Jewett Six is so designed that as little work as possible would be left to the owner.
 The Jewett has an allmetal uni versal joint that is oil-retaining for l 900 miles. No fabrication Is re- quired for the clutch. The transmits sion needs oil only once every 1000 miles.
 "As for the Jewett chassis, we pro- vide pressure oil gun and accessible oil fittings so that lubr.cating is made absurdly simple. Pressure up to 600 pounds is possible with this gun, and only one hand is rNquired to operate it in supplying oil at high pressure to chassis parts. Oil, not grease, is used.
 The motor is fabricated by force and spray, system acknowledged to be most effective. The oil pump has capacity to circulate a gallon ot oil bath for all working parts under any operating conditions.
 "Jewett owners say that lubrica- tion is so easy and so thorough that il is no trouble at all to keep the car running satisfactorily.

MAKING BIG HIT
"kars On Trial" Policy Proving Its
 Popularity With Buyers

N F. Richie states that the 'Kars on Kredit" policy. adopted some time back by the Whitlock Macdonald Motor company, distributors of Star and Durant motor cars at SIS Twenty first street, south, has a greater de- mand than they can begin to comply
The Birmingham age-herald., 1923-04-15

with The great popularity of this policy, according to Milton Simms, Is due to the terms and conditions of each car leaving the salesroom. He also states that the number of sales for the past two weeks is well over the 20 mark, which Is proof of tho popularity of "Kars on Kredit."
 MT. Richie states that the number of rural customers on the books at present fares well toward making many branch stores necessity in this and the surrounding territory. It is intimated that MT. Sims. the popular young salesman on "Kars on Kredit" force, will take this situation in hand. MT. Sims popularity ana knowledge of automotive products makes him the proper person to deal with the situation.
 Mir. Simms states that all those who are interested in 'Kars on Kred- it" should hurry to the salesroom at SIS Twenty first street. south. IS the limited supply on hand will make 1t very difficult for the company to fill orders after the first of the month.

The Usual Spring Mud.

Because of the spring thaw, motor- ists are warned to keep off dirt roads. Stick to the hard road and avoid slid ing into the mud. Chains are some- times useless in mud ruts and holes, for they help to dig in further.

SIinpinr Clutch is Dangerous

A driVer who habitually slips the clutch is courting danger. He in- creases the wear tenfold so that fin ally it will hardly hold at all, and some day when he will need it badly to pull him out of a tight place, it will fail entirely.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1923-04-15
A Suggestion.

The clutch pedal foot rest on cars having stiff clutch springs, should be covered with rubber to prevent the foot from slipping. This will be found helpful and restful for drivers, espe- cially in wet weather.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1923-04-15
A Had HRhif.

Never drive with the feet resting on the clutch and brake pedals. The clutch is in this way partly released causing almost constant slipping, and the car will lack speed. To overcome this, the driver feeds more gas, caus- ing the engine to overheat, and also wasting gasoline
