Franklin Reports a
Big Demand For Cars

Franklin shipments ST. far
this year as compared with the
same period last year are two
and one-half times as great, "
says :. +. Alderman, sales mana
ger Of the Franklin Automobile
Company. Following January
which broke all our previous
shipping records for that month
We entered February with
number &c untitled retail orders
greater than we have ever be-
fore had on our books at one
time
according to all present indi-
cations, February also will set up
q new Franklin record in the
matter of shipments for that
month, while at the same time
untitled orders are coming in
faster than ever. 1t seems Ger
tam that we shall go into March
with an even greater number OF
untitled orders than were on our
books on February I.
"The factory is at present turn
ing cut fifty complete cars daily;
on February % we reached fifty
five cars day, and the manu-
featuring schedule is to be gradu-
ally increased beyond that point.
Our machine shops are now rum
ming nights in order to catch
up.
The sedan, for years back our
best seller, still continues in the
lead for popular favor. The
open car is running 4 close sec
c@a, however. SO far this year
we have shipped more than twice
as many open cars as we did dur
ing the corresponding period oil

How many motor vehicles can
be used in this country-brlngs
up another question as to the

900 people. Students OF the in
dustry believe we can protitably
use 100000 cars and 5000
600 trucks, which would require
a renewal demand in excess Of
100000 vehicles.
THE use of motor vehicles is
increasing in popularity because
of their time saving qualities, and
because it supplies individual
transportation for the man ana
his family, Independent of any
Timetable. 1t is not far from
the truth TO say that it is one
Iof the few articles in the world
