FRANKLIN HAS
COODOUTLOOK
Record Sales and New
Model Brighten
Future, Said

Confident that the entire auto
motive industry will enjoy unus-
ual prosperity in 1928. H. III. Frank
lin. president Of the Franklin Auto
mobile company Of Syracuse, N. Y,
expects his company to break its
best sales records next year. Bas-
ing his optimism on record sales
during the last four months Of this
year, Mr. Franklin said:
September, October and Novem-
Der represent u biggest fall
quarter. with one exception, during
our more than twenty-five years of
making and selling automobiles.
TIE first IL months of 1927 saw
more Franklin cars sold than the en-
tire year of 1926.
sour 1927 September sales showed
a forty nine per cent increase over
September, 1926 and October show
ed one hundred and sixty per cent
sales increase over October, 1926.
November sales were "a per ceAt
ahead Of the same month last year
and orders now booked for Decem-
Der assur US Of a continued in
crease.
"At the present rate OF sales,
which we expect TO maintain. 1928
should show at least a fifty per
cent gain over 1927. This increase
has been due in no small part to the
dramatic demonstration Of air-cool-
ing furnished the motorists by air
men during the past few months.
"The introduction Of the Altman
model with its increased power and
speed has played a large part in
stimulating sales. Export sales have
increased satisfactorily under the
management Of Z. G. Willems. Eu-
rope and South America being es-
neciallv attracted by the a~ir-cooled

still cling 10 the old ranch home and
its surrounding acres.
The rancho is in what is known as
the red lands" section OF the Val
ley. having an oxide soil which is be-
lieved well adapted 10 culture of
fruits of every variety indigenous TO
this section. Irrigation from wells
is practiced to some extent IN the
ranches, and wherever sufficient
water has been secured citrus fruit
will thrive. Grapes are producing
prolifically without irrigation wher-
ever they have been planted in the
red lands.
The fact that the aged trees at La
guna SEGA are seedlings and were
never budded has raised a question
among horticulturists relative to the
root stocks which would be best
adapted to that section Of the Val
ley. Soil conditions are different
from those obtaining in the irrigated
sections whore the sour orange root
has been definitely established as
the proper stock on which 10 bud.
The fact that the Laguna SEGA trees
have grown from seed and have the
sweet orange root would indicate
that many Of the root stocks which
have been found impracticable in the
lower part Of the Valley would prob
ably be we'll adapted to the red lands
district.
The Laguna SEGA soil has brought
out all the best features Of the Medi-
tcrranean variety. The size OF the
trees and the flavor and texture Of

perior to those features in the trees
from which the seed came, indicating
that the Laguna SEGA soil has
brought out the best features Of the
fruit.
The Valleys principal interest in
the trees lies in their age. which es-
tablishes the fact that Valley citrus
fruit trees after they have passed
the tender period of early youth, can
withstand the most severe weather
conditions to which the Valley is
subject. Due TO the fact that the
altitude II higher and that it is in
the extreme northern part Of the VAL
ley. the temperature at Laguna SEGA
will average from one to five de-
grees below that in the irrigated sec
ton during the periods Of most ex-
treme cold. That these trees have
existed and thrived under more try
ing conditions than other sections Of
the Valley will ever undergo is ap-
parent, and is taken as conclusive
proof that there is no basis for the
assertion of the pessimists that the
groves Of the Valley will eventually
meet the same fate as did those of
F1orida and California some twenty
years ago.
