A large number of the farmers around Ashburton have already purchased motor-cars, and still a larger number, are wisely thinking before taking the | .final plunge. " Look before you leap ' is a good old proverb, and the wise man 'is he who looks thoroughly into the mechanical construction and design of the- various cars on the market, weighing well the- lasting qualities of a .car before ho purchases. Don't be led into believing that it is economy to save a few pounds in the initial cost of a car, when you know that at the best you are only getting value- for your money, and therefore must be getting au inferior article. In a period of, say, two or three years, the man who looks and flunks first, and then purchases a car to last, is pounds and pounds better off than the man who saved a few pounds on the initial outlay; and the man who goes in for a ridiculously light' machine oo economise- in upkeep saves a pound in'tyre upkeep and loses ten to'pay repair bills and depreciation. Should you chance to bo a thinker, take this opportunity of examining Webber and Smily, Ltd.'s, exhibit^ at their garage, and compare the quality, strength and solid value for money of the Overland chassis with any other on the msu-kpt; then leave your order with Mr Webber if you want to secure a car for immediate delivery. The popular five-soater 30 h.p. model "Overland " car can now be supplied (with self-starter if desired) at £330, or without starter at. £315. 10 430
