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. V Look before you leap is a good old proverb, and the wise man is he who looks thoroughly into the mechanical construction and design ot the various cars on the market, _wcignino- >yell the lasting qualities of a car before he purchases. Don't be led into ■believing .that-it, is economy to aave 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 v must be getting inferior article. In a period of, say, two or three years, the man who looks. . and thinks first, and then purchases a ear to last, is. pounds and pounds better off than the man who saved a few pounds on the initial oiytlay; and the man who goes in for a ridiculously light machine 'to economise in upkeep saves a pound in tyre upkeep and loses ,ton to pay repair bills and depreciation. Should you chance to be a thinker, tak» this opportunity of examining Webber and Smily, Ltd.'s, .«xhibit # at their garage, and compare the quality, strength and solid value for money of I tho Overland chassis with any other on the mnrket; then leave your order with Mr-Webber.if you.want to secure a car for immediate delivery. The popular five-seater 30 h.p, model "Overland " car can row be ■ snrrolied (with self-starter if desired) at £330, or without starter at £'315. 10 430
