In this country the general conclusion drawn was that the expenses of taking the Australian team to America and return had been £50% more than' the original cstimate. and that Anderson had advanced the difference cut of his own funds t this interpretation was not correct is indfeated (n an article writ- ten by Austral.

Franklin Ever Built The quality of the 1924 Franklin is shown in every detail of construction, every phase of performance. It is the first car of any make to be free from every evidence of periodic engine vibration. Its new motor smoothness and quietness will stand up under the hardest and longest service. Features such as the cese-hardened crankshaft, fuel trans- fomr, electric primer, and rotary air-cleaner represent the highest mechanical development. Its transmission brake stands alone for simplicity, long wear, little care, and safety. 200 miles in 4 hours, 22 minutes; 478 miles in 11% hours; 501 miles in 10 hours, 48 minutes; 773 miles in a dsy—these representative runs give an idea ofits ability over the open road. . Measuring the quality of its engine design and workmanship is a recent officially-observed run from New York to Chicago. Here 1104 miles’ travel required less than three fourths of a quart of oil. An average of 19.56 miles to the gallon of gassline on that same trip, in the face of severe wind and rain conditions, is additional evidence of where the ln4ankllnluflhm operating economy. Sales, as well as performance and construction, indicate its value. November, 1923, was the largest retail November o Franklin history. FRANKLIN MOTOR CO. § HARRY W. BURR 1814 E Street N.W.
