FRANKLIN SEDAN OUTPUT UP 100 P. C. More than twice as many sedans were produced by the Franklin Automobile Company during the first seven months of this year as were turned out by Franklin during the corresponding period of 1922. In fact, the number of sedans produced in the Franklin plant during the period beginning January 4 and ending July 31 showed a 9 per-cent increase over Franklin sedan production for the entire year of 1922. Orders on dealers' books at end of July showed 43 per cent for sedans says a statement receded by the Bob White Co., from the factory. Sixty nine per cent or orders that were placed with Franklin dealers during July—Franklin's Twenty-six sales anniversary month—was repeat business, according to E. S. Ackerman sales manager of the Franklin Automobile Company. "The fast that practically seven of every ten orders were received from persons already Franklin owners is typical of the high favor accorded to our latest model, the Series 10," states Mr. Ackerman, "and at the same time strongly evidences the loyalty of Franklin owners generally throughout the country. Among those who bought during the month were owners who had been driving Frinklins since 1904."

MISUNDERSTANDING COSTS HIM DEARLY MADISON, Wis., Sept. 8.—When a stranger entered the garage operated here by F. C.

WILLS-OVERLAND IN TAXI BUSINESS Willys-Overland is now specializing in the production of Willys-Knight taxicabs. An exclusive force of engineers and saloemen is devoting its whole time to the manufacture and sale of this specialized product of the great Toledo plant. For a long time the Willys-Overland Company investigated the taxicab field, with eyes open, for the smaller details that would assist it in turning out a cab that would enable the owner to operate at a minimum of comfort to his passengers. The Willys-Overland Company realized that the taxicab represents the stock of mileage that has to be sold at a profit and the chances of success or failure rest absolutely on the difference between what the miles cost the operator, plus labor in delivering them and the money paid by the public in return for the service rendered. Studebaker production in August was 15,700 cars, a new record. For the eight months the output was over 110,000 against approximately 76,000 in August, 1922.

Great hopes are entertained that it will do away with the fog peril to air pilots. The device consists of an electric cable which is laid slightly beneath the ground, and a set of search coils and an instrument which acts as a stering and height indicator is fixed to the aeroplane. By this means the pilot is able to locate the track while in the air, and by watching the indications of height he is able to land, although the ground may be invisible.

Higher efficiency in the working of radio outfits will result frof the use of this battery; it is claimed, and there is practically no internal resistance, no "noisen" it has steady high voltage characteristics and is steadily in operation. Marked, too, is the improvement in the Four Door Sedan. Highly popular since its introduction a year ago because of its low, graceful lines, the car now presents even much better lines and a sturdier appearance. This has been brought about by the installation of an entirely new cowl, with a graceful sweep from the dash, blending into the larger hood and radiator. The change also affords an increase in log room for occupants of the front seat. In the open type, the Touring car and Runabout, the cowl has been enlarged and flows in a graceful curve to the higher hood. The result brings a most pleasing effect to the exterior appearance of both types. The improvement in the touring car, which came when the one man top and slanting windshield were introduced, is greatly enhanced by the larger radiator, the car appearing lower and more attractive than ever. The effect on the roadster is likewise most appealing, giving it a more rugged and sturdy appearance. The new radiator is also extended to the Ford truck chassis, affording improved appearance and better cooling to delivery services. These new Ford types and the generally recognized performance ability of the Ford under all motoring conditions, promise to bring a greater demand than ever before as the public becomes more fully acquainted with the higher standards and greater value which have been incorporated. No changes are contemplated in the prices. 134 Experts —Just One Opinion If you could sit down with 134 of the leading car and truck makers of the country to talk batteries, and every one of 134 Experts —Just One Opinion If you could sit down with 134 of the leading car and truck makers of the country to talk batteries, and every one of them were to tell you that Willard made the best batteries, you wouldn't have much doubt of it, would you?
