Concerning the performance of the Franklin car Bridges & Gage gave out the following interesting in- formation. "In the Long Island Economy Test, under the official supervision of the Long Island Automobile club--the| Franklin won over all contestants at' an operating cost of only 12 cents) per mile.

In the One Gallon Efficiency Test, ~mder the official supervision of the New York Automobile Trade associa- «tion, the 21 cars entered in competi- tion the Franklin car not only won the prize for the best score in its price class, but also the Willys trophy for the best score irrespective! of price class. | Efficiency Test by Worcester Poly- technic Institute demonstrated that the Franklin delivers 84.4 per cent of its engine power at the rear wheels. north shore distributor. "In the past automobiles have been developed along two widely different lines. One has been toward a cheap, light car. Economy and low first cost have been its chief advantages. The other trend has been toward luxury. comfort and endurance at the expense of high first cost and heavy maintenance expense. The Essex combines the advantage of these two types. "The car was designed by some of the best engineers in America and is built at the Hudson plant in De- troit. It is moderately priced, eco- nomical in operation, has no useless weight, and above all, it is comfort- able. In performance, luxury and fin- ish it is comparable to the highest priced cars on the market. "While the endurance and power of the car are unusual, one of its most notable features is its comfort. Although built for five passengers, careful designing has made it pos- sible to provide more room in the iront and tonneau than is found in most seven-passenger cars. The seats are deep and comfortable. The doors open wide and the levers and pedals are within easy reach. The springs are long enough to assure comiortable riding even on the roughest road.
