SNOW & TUFTS SECURE. |OLDS' DISTRIBUTION FOR
 THE STATE OF ARIZONA

stocking of parts and the rendering of unexcelled service.
 Snow and Tufts is one of the oldest and most substantial automobile l firms in the state of Arizona having been established ten years ago. This firm has handled the Oldsmobile line in Arizona for over six year& the territory covered being Tucson and Nogales, where an excellent reputa- ton for service and fair dealing has been built up.
 Bob" Coulter. connected with Fer guson- -Keeler, former state distrib- utors Of the Oldsmobile line, will manage the sales or Oldsmobiles in this territory for the new distributors | Coulter is an old experienced auto mobile man. His connection with Ferguson -Keeler dates back five years, and prior to that time he sold automobiles in California, as well as handling the sales of Firestone tires over a large California territory for several years
 l The Oldsmobile line is too we'll known to require description. there being several hundred of them in operation in the Salt River valley alone. A carload of the new Olds- mobile fours is now en route to Phoe- nix, and large shipment of Oldsmo- bile twin fours is also expected with in short period.
 The Olds Motor works at Lansing, Michigan, has spent over three mill lion dollars in perfecting the four | cylinder Oldsmobile which was put on the market about four months ago. Two years of thorough testing | was conducted before this model was marketed, and wonderful records have been reached by this model in the hands of the public since the car has been sold. The new twin-four. model 47, which is the 1922 model, has also undergone extensive experi- mentation, and is characterized by many Improvements over past engin- eering. practice.
 Of the four outstanding character istics that distinguish the model 47 engine, its amazing power range stands foremost. While this engine is rated at 26.45 horse power it ac- tually develops 54 h. D. at 2,600 revo- lutions per minute. The significance of this is best expressed in terms of performance.
 At all speeds and under all road and grade conditions this eight, displays remarkable power efficiency It throttles in high gear (under ca pacity load) to one mile per hour. And at 65 miles or more per hour it develops no vibration. Its accelera- ton is delight: from to 25 miles per hour in 8 seconds flat is its reg ular performance; and there is a thrill in that for even the most ex- perienced driver. This great flex- ibility of reserve power is reflected in unprecedented hill-climbing ability The smooth flow of Oldsmobile eight power is a constant source of pleasure. Whether ones choice happens to be an idling pace or a thrilling speed. there is never a sug- gestion of effort The explanation of this desirable quality may be found in the short rigid crankshaft which is perfectly counterbalanced for all speeds: in generous bearings dependably fabricated by pre- cooled oil under postant pressure; in a unique method of rolling the cylin- ders to the smoothness of polished glass and in a number of other sci- entific details exclusive with Olds- mobile.
 The simplicity of engine design presents a number of advantages Most of these may be summed in a phrase: exceptional sturdiness with out proportionate bulk. The easy &C., feasibility of all working parts also bespeaks the experience applied to this engines development.
 The placement of the carburetor in the "" formed by the cylinder blocks, together with the design oi the exhaust jacketed manifold. in- sures perfect gasoline vaporization The exhaust passages in the cylinder block cross the intake passages sC that the gases are further pre-heat- ed on their way to the cylinders These features add much to the eff ciency of the motor and result ii maximum economy.
 In every detail the quality of tht chassis is in keeping with the stan dard set by the power plant. The specifications at the right will verify this. A feature that deserves espe- cial attention is the torque tube il which the propeller shaft revolves On cars of emdium size this method of final drive adds immeasurably t' riding comfort. Extra long. flexible undersung rear springs that lay fla under load, add the final touch tha robs rough roads of all their terrors
 The model ABA four-cylinder Olds mobile has added new fame to
 name that has stood for g years.
 Many of its enthusiastic admirer assert that the Oldsmobile -four" up sets all previously established stan dards of value for cars of simila type.
 In the matter of style, for instance it is notable that Oldsmobile -four combines beauty of outline and ap pointments- exceptional smartnes' if you like with dignified simpli city that spells style permanenct Such a car does not readily pass ou of vogue.
 It is powered with a valve-in -hea engine that is a model of study sim plicity and enduring efficiency.
 Oldsmobile four excels in ridin comfort for a number of reasons. Is built on an unusually long whes base. 115 inches. Both front and re7 springs are of liberal dimensions. an so designed as to lay flat under loa the ideal riding condition. Chop'' roads are robbed of their terrors b to torque tube which carries the en tire torsional load of the rear axl
