ROYAL COACH
FOR MAYOR

In connection with the Sesqui'
centennial celebration. which is
being observed in Philadelphia this
year, the City of Philadelphia has
just purchased for the use of the
Hon. Mayor Kendrick a luxurious
Pierce-Arrow fnclosed drive landau.
powered with the famous Pierce
Arrow dual-valve engine, developing
more than 100 horsepowe:>.
A combination of blue and gold
has been used as the color ancflf OF
this luxurious automobile, the Whole
effect being dignified and extremely
striking. The exterior IS nnlsneo IN
Daytona blue with belt All fenders
in black and stripings in gold leaf.
The exterior hardware carries OUT
the color motif, being finished in
blass and gold. The bows, wnich
support the landau 1Op are also
Finished in brass, the bleaming
metal making a. splendid contract
against the brilliant black of the
landau leather.
Since this is distinctly formal
car. the interior carries oft the
rich dignity of the the exterior. A
rich blue broadcloth with delicate
gold stripe is used Cor the rear
compartment upholstery. Narrow
gold braid Is used for door paneling
and below the division window.
All interior hardware is gold plated.
A gold clock, placed in such a
position that 1t can be see either
by day or night, gives additional
touch Of luxury to the interior OF
the rear compartment. a Ley back
pillow supported by cords is another
departure from the usual. Two
folding seats give the rear compart-
ment five-passenger capacity. The
seat and back of the chauffeur's
compartment is finished IN the
same upholstery as Is used. in the
rear compartment. The rest of the
compartment is in black hand-buffed
leather. The crest of City of Phiia
delphia is painted in colors on the
rear compartment doors.

Bradstreet's says that rather mix.
ed collection of trade and industrial
reports comes to hand this week; some
of this a chronicle of current events,
some the record of the past months
happenings. Among the weeks fea-
lures, probably first place Is taken by
the advance of real Winter weather
over a wide area. with beneficial ef-
fects upon coal buying and purchas-
ing Of heavy wearing apparel IN
northern sections, and a percept1ble
livening up Of holiday purchasing by
early buyers.
Over against these. stimulating fea-
lures are to be reckoned a sag in the
price of cotton to the lowest point OF
the year, which has tended to offset
good effects Of cooler weather in
southern areas, and reports of less ac-
tive buying at wholesale of steel, iron,
coke, lumber, most non-ferrouS met
