margin that the last pile was knocked

Prices have increased almost daily
since the beginning OF tho month. In
several instances this week tho ware
houses have made averaves OF over SO

Practically all grades of the offerings
are being eagerly sought after by buy
ers for the large domestic concerns, as
we'll as the leading export corporations.
For the purpose OF an experimental
test, one Of the warehouses has been
selling on baskets this week. and 1t
has proven highly satisfactory in every
respect. Beginning with the coming
week. this system will be inaugurated
by the market. and It Is welcomed as

GOLD CAR MAY BE
SEEN AT TULSA SHOW
The Celebrated Studebaker
Show Car Has Been Asked
for by Local Dealers.

If the much talked of Studebaker
gold model is not shown during the
Tulsa auto show at Convention hall
next week, it will not be the fault of
the local agency, Welsh McNulty Mo-
tor company, who are doing all in
their power to have same shipped
here for that occasion.
The car, which Is a dazzling white,
with 1S-kardt gold trimmings (about
400 ounces of gold being used), is
valued at $4,000, an / will, if it comes
here. be accompanied by four Pinker-
ton men, who follow this car wher-
ever it is displayed.
The gold car has been one of the
great sensations OF all the auto shows
held this season. as was the gold
chassis which was shown last year,
and if Tulsa is lucky enough to get
1t, the public has a rare treat in
store.
