...five-year-old hides is permitted. Effect of Chicago's restrictions was evident in last week's prices. Sample: September hides in Chicago were 8.79? a lb., in New York 8.58?. These prices are only about half what hides were bringing last year, for consumption of tanned leather was off 25% in the first four months this year. Despite this obvious result of Depression II, the industry is in pretty fair shape statistically. With production cut 30% in the first four months of 1938, inventories of tanned hides are 5.6%, of raw hides a full 22% under...
Just as exterior streamlining has been made up of one part bunk to one part science, the interior "improvements" in these trains will cater largely to U. S. reverence for looks & luxury.

...Last week, while towns along the oldtime route were restoring some of the legendary landmarks, cinema's hardest-riding Western star, resolute, weather-beaten Buck Jones, was blazing the trail again for the younger generation. Pledged to abstain from profanity and hard liquor, Buck and his heck-for-leather pony riders yippee forth on their foam-flecked ponies, carry the mail on schedule though redskins and mustachioed villains do their durndest to bar the way. As memorable history, The Overland Express beats schoolbooks hollow...
