is being observed in Continental
markets. but up to the present time,
the quantities must relate to hun
dreds, not thousands, of cases. Judg-
ing from the growth Of the trade in
boxed apples. which are considered
a fancy product, we may expect q
growth in demand for grapefruit on
the continent.
In my report Of 1924-25 l en-
phasized to the citrus growers the
fact that they could greatly expand
the demand for grapefruit in Great
Britain By education and by placing
supplies on this side Of the Atlantic
at moderate prices. between 1855
and $4.87. This advice at present
applies to Continental markets with
the same degree of truth that it ap-
piled to British markets in 1924.
Moderately priced transportation,
uniformly good quality of supplies
and medium-priced supplies for the
continent are factors which will in
crease the use of grapefruit as no
other means of stimulation can. The
provision of these requirements, to-
gether with the spread of education
on the use of grapefruit in countries
like Germany. Holland. Switzerland,
Austria, and Czechoslovakia. all de-
pend upon the united effort of the
industry,

CRAHAM-PAICE
HAS new Line
Two-Door, Five-P Passenger
Sedan Completes Line
OF Model s612'

Graham-Page has brought out a
two-door five-passenger sedan to
complete the line of bodies supplied
on the popular six-cylinder 112Anch
wheelbase chassis, model 1912"
In style and comfort, the new
two-door closely follows the stand
ards of the four-model. Both ex-
terror carry tthe features that mark
the full sedan type.
Standar equipment includes paint
edwood wheels, with 5.00-19 ballon
tires; but the car may be obtained
with steel or wire wheels-either
five wheels with a spare tire carrier
or six wheels with side mountings
and a trunk rack.
The new sedan Is finished in a
light gray with moulding and re-
veals in a light gray. striped with
emerald green. Both steel and wood
wheels are in the lighter gray,
emerald striped. while wire wheels
are emerald green all over.
OF special interest to owners Is
the sliding arrangement for the two
front seats. Passengers in either seat
may, by releasing a convenient latch,
roll forward, opening a clear pass
ageway for those entering Or leaving
the rear compartment. The old draw
back of. the two-door car the incon-
venience to front seat passengers
who we're compelled to get out of
the a to admit others-is thus
eliminated.
The seat cushions and backs are
upholstered in Chase mohair, with

Notable among the features con-

OF our cars are the cross-flow ra-
diator, Duco finish, four-wheel
brakes. the rubber silenced chassis,
oil and fuel filters and air cleaner,
crankcase ventilation and depress-
ible beam headlights operated by
foot control. The new Oakland
All-American Six also was the first
a to bring the custom-like Lam
daulet Sedan, with a soft folding
top over the real quarter section,
out of the high priced class.
This new body type also is being
shown in the latest Pontiac Big Six.
There are seven body types in the
