The Morris One-Ton Truck A British Product Made in England Here Is the oopy of a letter received the other day from Wellington tint proves once again the absolute dependability of the Morris One-Ton Truok under the most gruelling conditions:— wf.h'^ 01 !. 1 *", 1 b Z Plea-'ea to learn that the writer has just returned fYom a dcmoimration trie with the Morris One-Ton Truck lo Glsborne and back, a distance of about 1000 mllp-s all tola. " Extraordinarily rough roads were experienced between JVapler and Glsborne- tn many cases It was positive cruelty to ask a motor lo do the work, while some or the teats nniWtjit.n ■were the severest the writer has ever known. Tatapourl Hill, outside Gleborne Is lndleYt«i «!• the maps by a break In the road route, thus intimating- that It cannot be described as arn«rt al all. This hill starts on an unmetaUed papa road, with a grade or about 1 In 7 uron-wia tn 1 In 10, then about 40 yards or I In 8, and continues a stiff climb to ihe last corner wnii-h nnlshes on a grade or about I In 7. At the root or this hill Is an eitenslve hole as wiSeai the road where trafnc has been bogged. The surface or the road Is built up with livers or manuka, which have been cut through by wheels, presenting a very ugly surface. The Morrix Truck, with a one-ton load and two passengers, negotiated the hill oYi first gear wfttj the utmost satisfaction. Incidentally, the test was an excellent one Tor springs and all other parts The performance was a particularly meritorious one, because many trucks Including Ene-llsh fall to get up this hill with normal loads. ' ' " For the first 91 miles, when the Truck was new, and with a one-ton load, the average was 22 miles to the gallon; this Included Mtungaroa and Rlmutaka Hills. It Is confldentlv expected to Improve this materially. It would be no exaggeration to gay that the Truck will do 20 miles to the gallon under general conditions." The Morris One-Ton Truck costs only £295 40,000 Morris Cars Ordered The following paragraph is from the Daily Mail. Overseas Edition, of October 25, 1924: — "It Is estimated that business to the value of £13,000,000 was done by "Exhibitors at the International Motor Exhibition, Olympia, during the private view "for agents In the Brst two hours the Morris Motor Company disposed or 40,000 rars to agents valued at about £8,000,000. Another company came second, with 1500 vehicles' valued at £600,000." This Is some intimation of bow Morris has le« all competitors far behind. The Morris-Oxford and Morris-Cowley Cars are examples or the highest British workmanship. Call for inspection and demonstration run. We carry oomplete stocks of Motor Accessories, Inoludlng Mlchelin pneumatic tyres and Firestone solid tyres.
