ACCENT ON ALUMINIUM

Look What The Oil

King Has Bought!

IL-RICH Saud Ibn Abdul-Aziz, King of Saudi Arabia, knows how to make use of modern comforts of aluminium in ruling his domain.

On his recent trip to the United States, the Saudi Arabian monarch ordered a 50-ft, aluminium trailer.

The trailer will sorve both as a comfortable home and a palaco com. plete with a throne, while visiting subjects in the more distant parts of the kingdom,

The Mobile Homes Manufacturers Associo- tion, which announced the purchase of the trailer, indicates that it has been completely equipped for use in the hot desert.

Axles are designed to accommodate sand- tyres, provision is made for air-conditioning" and ample water storage, and a second trailer is fitted out as a mobile kitchen.

Adding emphasis to the Royal acquisition is the fact that King Saud has three other aluminium trailers.
