All You Demand in Quality?
And a Big Saving in Price
Briscoe price is out of all proportion to Brjscoe quality.
Go where you will among cars that even approach tjhc
Irttcoe in desirability, and you'll find it in many cases
% much higher price?the difference amounting in sorne
cases to several hundred dollars.
That'a because the Briscoe Motor Corporation?-big,
tfficient and resourceful?never shared in the panic
stricken idea of big prices that assailed so many makers.

"T ? origrinal Briscoe plants were

(irs step ii thi pro :es - was the
acquisition of thi i forty-three
acre site.
"The present Briscoe plants differ
from niost of thu ?:?? automobile
plants in that they were designed and
in a large measure built and ready
for operation beforc the demand for
the car had reach | ropurtions to
keej) them busy. With practically no
exceptions, the great automobile
plants of to-day, even those which are
regerded as most efficient, have been
built up unit by unit as the business
g-vew. No matter how closoiy the
various units of such a plant ir,ay be
in opei'ation, they cannot func
tion as efficiently as if they had been
: gi ed as parts u-* a compi

"K;c!: of the many buildings which
make up the Briscoe plant was di ?
signed not only to do a certain work,
'?? ' ' i do it with the highest possible
degree of coopera tion v, ith evei y ot h e v
branch of the factory. In other words,
the basic idea waa to have as little
lost motion as possible in the various
steps connected with the manufacture
and assembling of the car.
"A natural accompaniment of this
idea was the realization that greaiest
efficiency c-ould only be obtained if
the greatest. possible portion of the
car was actually manufactured by the
Briscoe Corporation itself. The fac?
tory has been steadily working toward
a completely H riscoe-built car. For
the fewer parts that come from out
side sources, tl - basis there v:as
for fi ?? on, lelaj or other interfer
ei ci with the smooth running of the
assembly plants. There was, t;:io. a
lerabh saving in costs, due to
? ?? i n i v oi of intermediary prof
its. And a much greater uniformity
in quality was made possible. This
involved the designing er" much spe?
cial machinery necessary to make cer?
tain parts, with specific aiterations
to fit the design of the Briscoe ciir.
How They Praise
They Compare the New Light Weight Car
to High Powered, High Priced Automobiles
Essex Performance
Essex performance is now talked of so generally among motorists
that you should know what they are saying.
Hundreds of thousands have seen the Essex.
They have admired its costly car appearance. They speak of its
? "' , ? complcteness in appointment and how it differs from other light
weight, moderate priced cars.
But they grow enthusiastic over Essex performance. A car at its
price and of its weight was never expected to posscss such hill climb
mg and accelcration capacity. The standard it scts has been known
only in the large high priced field.
And 'in speed and easy riding qualities it also matches the cars
which sell at tw and three times its price.
You hear on every side how steadily it holds the road at speeds
? difficult to maintain even with some larger cars. And as for ease
of rrding there seems no standard known to motor cars that the
Essex does not surpass.
i Remember these are not our claims. They are the frank and
voluntary praise of tens of thousands. You can find Essex friends
whefever you go.
\Ve advertise merelv to induce you to ask about Eseex and to
arrange to take an early ride in it. You will surely become one of
its friends. Perhaps you will want to own an Essex, and if that is
6o the sooner you learn to know it the better.
Sales alrcady are far in excess of production. If you delay you
might have to wait a long time to get your car.
The price is 31395 for a five-passenger model at Detroit.

In order that you may get the maxi-1
raum of et.joymer.t and comfort'out of
your car you must be as considerate
and thoughtful about it as you
of a rine horse that is as fine and
costly as your car.
Therefore:
Do not race the motor unnecessarily.
Be warned by every abnormal noise:
if a a squeak locate it and lubricate the
part. If it is some other noise locate
tlie loose parts that cause it and tight
en the bolts.
Don't tinker. Half the abiiiiy to
make an adjustment or repairs is the
ability to discover its necessity.
Some motorists are Baid to
"luck"' with their cars. There never
seems to bc any troubie, eve.y

atarts when wanted and runs a
as it is needed without any o
exasperating breakdowns on tl

himself cursed through the careless

3&<? FRANKLIN
LIMOUSINE
A CAR IN WHICH FINENESS
LEVIES NO TAX ON SERVICE
The constant return on the investment, insured by unlimited
usefulness, is a feature of the light Franklin Limousine. Neither the
extremes of temperature, the limitations of heavy weight, or rough
road conditions, regulate its capacity for service.
Having no water to boil or freeze, the Franklin Limousine is
free of troubles that even the best chaufreurs cannot prevent m watdr
cooled cars.
?
Its year-around adaptability, restful riding, andcasycontrol, give
it a practical value which detracts nothing from its ritness to periorm
every limousine function in a fine vvay.
In addition to askin.- no consideration in service merely be
cause it is a limousine, this Franklin enclosed car avemges in generaj
use
18-20 miles to the gallon of gasoiine
10,000 miles to the set of tirts
50% slower yearly depreciation
Wc will be plcascd to show you by inspection and demonstra
tion the ability of the Franklin Limousine to give exceptional service.
