THE GRAY CAR.

POINTS IN ITS FAVOUR.

FROM THE AUCKLAND AGENTS.

, About the middle of thts iear the Gray . car was introduced to the public of , Auckland, and the agency proved to be •in the capable hands of the Union . Enginering Co., Ltd., a firm which has jhad no difficulty in expounding the para J mount virtues of this lighter class .vehicle. Before its advent to this . market the Gray was exceedingly well tried out in America, where the makers. [the <!ray Corporation, had thoroushlv tested their new-style car before attempting to place it at the service of the motor car world. Gray construction |is backed by tbe ability and judgment jof two of the leading motor car experts jof America —Mr. F. L. Klin-ensmitb, an , jex-direetor of the Ford Motor Company and Mr. F. F. Beal, ex-vice-president of | the Packard Corporation—a noted .expert on heat and metallurgy. It can Ibe readily im gined that two such experienced men, supported by some of the ;most influential citizens nf the U.S.A. jwere well able ti produce a car of quality, and this has been prove 1 both lin t ]l e country of manufacture and in this part of the world where Gray cars have triumphed in the fiel! of comprt tion. .Either in t c city or in the back road* jof Xew Zealand lira;,- cars have stood up jto all demands, whilst in the question of 'maintenance t'e cost ha* proven well I below that of any ot'cr car in its class. ;The 21 h.p. Cray as a matter of fact was j first to establish an extraordinary j economy record under stock test condi- | tions, doing in America 33.8 m.p.g. over 14.819 mile. Sfrdily built, and with al! ithe latest attachments and appointments for comfortable and safe riding over dis tances short and long, the Gray i* I widely reputed as the car which "saves jone-third gas/ and is remarkably good lvalue at £2.50. Examination, test and 'demonstration will prove that this job, ! fitted with tbe reliable Gray motor, Timken axle and bearings, and other features 'ensuring the essentiaL of a modern ear | for the modern man is an excellent I proposition in straight value. The Union (Engineering Co., Ltd., of Lome Street, jwbicn is also alent for "America's First jC'ar"- —the Wayne*—will be pleased to .place their up-tvdate organisation at the disposal of those who seek a new car Icr advice upon the guiding principles jupon which such purchase should be j made.
