SERVICE STATION TRAGEDY.
WHY BROWN WALKED HOME. INTERESTING INQUIRIES. Walking is a good exercise in certain circumstances, but a gentleman named Brown refuses to acknowledge that harmless sentiment. It all arose from a recent service station tragedy. Brown is a haphazard sort of person sometimes, and that is a dangerous state of mind. Brown forgot to order Plume, and he never knew what was put into the tank of his car—certainly it was not Plume. Anyway, it was a tragedy for his engine, and meant a long walk for him. He knows better now, and although inquiries are still being made, he has learned his lesson. In future he will specify Plume or Voco—every time. Plume is the highest grade motor spirit in New Zealand. Its high antiknock quality meets the demands of high compression engines, prevents knocking, and gives smoother, more powerful performance. To-day, Voco is a genuine first grade. The slight improvement in certain characteristics was all that was necessary to lift Voco into the first grade classification. For commercial services, and for cars called upon to do hard, continuous work in commercial operation, Vnco is the ideal motor spirit.Plume and Voco are now available to the motoring public of New Zealand at the same price.—(Ad.)
