DETROIT, lfleh April 12 —Highway transportation in 'gasoline-driven ve- hicles is the greatest business in the e S 08 grea hich Am::c b! privileged to Wi s en v extend to other nations. This conclusion, voiced numerous major executives of the industry since January 1, has gained added cerainiy g‘.mmmzunmnmmm iness prospects of this year an those to follow it. Not only the predictions but the sta- tica bear out the assumption, to which is largely due the steadiness with which the la"ze producers have faced un- favorable conditions affecting certain divisions of the industry.

In the production of last year the automobile 'industry consumed 85 per cent of all the rubber manufactured in the United States, 67 per cent of all the plate glass, 19 per cent of the iron and steel, 15 fer cent of the copper, 18 plr cent of the lumber and hard- 27 per cent of the lead and 80 per omc of the gasoline.

Returning from a recent trip through the Orient, he said he found two factors encouraging to American business men loottn{ toward the export fleld for s uicken ie.c’uvery ffom the ntlmaon of late One, he pointed out, is the essen basic likeness of the les of :u lnnds The other is the rapid trend toward the annuuon of commercial transpor- on. . “Other parts of the world,” he sald, “are as impatient of subnormal business conditions as Americs, and therefore, hl nlebedlh 'll!l &fl"’:’.’{m:m AIR-COOLED ENGINE Fractionation.

But the real significance is to focus attention on the way the air-cooled motor transcends every other type of power plant—a fact that has been borne out on the road, in the air and by record increase in sales. Today the principle of air-cooling s recognized for its ability to get maximum power from a motor. Only a few years ago, when man wvisioned the paossibilities of air travel, aviation engineers “looked around for the best type of mator.” With the whole-field to pickfrom and with only the desire 1o find the type of engine which could best stand the gruelling punishment of flying an airplane—they chose the air-cooled engine. DEVELOPMENT PLANE—has brooght about thot eager power that asks no favorsond pro- duces astonishing speed, smoothness bill-climbing abilily and ocoslerafion. Cannon Bafl Baker as test pllot has Wmmmwfl in the world—American roads as they come. That the tests signify quality is accepted. The comfort which they so dramatically demonstrate has ciways been an unchallenged Frankiin superi- ority. Ease und safety of driving could never be more effectuaily endorsed. So Franklin has yisuclized the revo- lution it has worked in awtomobile building. There is no other car like it —no other car which does the things it does—no other car which enjoys its position of leadership through its engineering progressiveness ond the satisfaction it renders to owners. And all because Franklin has triumphed with 'its principle of air "eooling, acclaimed as today's graat- est power plant development.
