NEW SEDAN TO BE
 IN PHOENIX SOON

The specification for the new Olds 45-B eight -cylinder sedan have reached Phoenix, and aroused considerable in terest here The new car will be in Phoenix shortly.
 This sedan is an exceptionally com modious 7-passenger madel of the latest four door type. Notwithstand- ing it's roominess it possesses graceful lines-it is trim smart looking from whatever angle it is viewed.
 The exterior is finished in dignified, deep colors.
 Ihe interior is in strict keeping with the impressive appearance of the ex- terior. The upholstery materials of striped velours, are chosen to harmo nize perfectly with the outer color ing. Even the floor covering is care fully fitted into the general color scheme.
 Comfort-luxurious comfort-is a prime consideration in the building of this Oldsmobile sedan. For this reason extra deep spring cushion seats and backs of the highest quality are used The auxiliary seats, which of course fold out of view when not in use, are upholstered to match the bal ance of the interior. The continuous front seat is very wide and provides a far greater measure of comfort than any other type.
 In the matter of appointments that individually may seem relatively un- i important, but which in the aggregate mean so much to the owner of the car. l it would be difficult to improve upon this Oldsmobile.
 The heating arrangement, as an in stance is vast improvement over 1 less advanced types. A flat, aluminium register is fitted flush with the floor 1 in the rear compartment. The heat 1 is of course, variable to suit the oc- cupants of the car.
 1 The lifting device attached to each of the windows is remarkable for a variety of superiorities. It operates soundlessly. with almost no effort and 1 is so simple in construction that it is next to impossible for 1t to get out of order.
 The dome and reading lights are es- pecially pleasing, being set in silvered mountings of classic design.
 Other refinements indicative of the character of this highest development of the Oldsmobile enclosed car, are the distinctive silk shades with which the rear windows are fitted and the heavy cord which takes the place of the conventional robe rail or strap.
 Each of the four exterior door han dles is fitted with a high grade lock thus making the car practically i'm mune from thievery or molestation.
 This Model 45-B sedan is mounted on the Standard Oldsmobile Eight chassis which has within the past few years won so enviable a name for itself.
 Unlike many large enclosed cars, this sedan has the great advantages of the quick acceleration and smooth flow oi power that are inherent in the Olds- mobile eight-cylinder motor.

IS IT A "sKIN GAME7r

We are informed by the scrupulous- ly accurate and painstaking bureau of markets of the |. S. department of agriculture, that the American pack CTS, dealers, importers and tanners for the month of October had 40.6TS,536 hides and skins. This is net increase of 3,30S,55S over September.
 Increases were shown in the hold ings of goat skins and kid skins; also in kip skins, colt, donkey and pony skins: also in kankaroo and wallaby hides; also in sheep, lamb and buffalo skins.
 At that time. as we remember it, packers, dealers, importers and tan ners were insisting that the high price of shoes, gloves and other articles made in part or wholly from skins and hides, was due to the shortage of skins and hides.
