Limited. i (THE FIRM THAT REFUSE TO SELL ANYTHING BUT THE BEST.) Eoyal Garage, CHRISTCHURCH. The Unic. A MARVELLOUS PERFORMANCE. ALL THE CLAIMS WE HAVE MADE REGARDING THIS CAR MORE THAN VINDICATED. T ATELT wo have been pushing buemess on J-J tho Wcat Coast. Wo wanted very badly to get a UNIC on to the REEFTON-WEST-PORT PASSENGER SERVICE. We told MESSRS SUNDEHLAND BROS., the Proprietors of this servioo, what a ; 12-16 h.p. UNIC could do, but thoy were sceptical, thought the car would not havo enough power for tho work. Finally they made us an offer. They eaid: "You bring tho car over at your own rick. If it will take eight average adults, say, about 90 stone total weight, from BEEFTON to WESTPORT—distance 50 miles—nearly all hilly, ineido our schedule running time of 3J HOURS, and consume not more than 2J GALLONS of PETROL on the trip, we'll take the car." Wo took a sporting risk, and accepted tho offer. Tho test was made on WEDNESDAY, APRIL 9th, and this is what the car actually did. The load, wo cairied was EIGHT ADULTS and TWO CHILDREN, TOTAL WEIGHT 101 STONE. ACTUAL RUNNING TIME, 2 HOURS 55 MINUTES. PETROL CONSUMED 2 GALLONS EX-ACTLY-an AVERAGE OF JUST 25 MILES PER GALLON. Need'ess to say, the car was purchased for that service, and ac a direct result of this test, orders were placed for TWO MORE UNICS RIGHT AWAY. NOW, MAKE A NOTE OP THIS. If you are a c»r buyer, we are prepared to prove to you by actual tost that a UNIC will do anything and everything wo tell you it will do. If it does'nt,- don't buy it. Can't speak fairer than that, can we? Supreme Sunbeams. Wβ can now guarantee early delivery oi j these famous Cars. Two 12-16 - h.p. 5SEATER STREAMLINE BODY MODELS I are now on tho water, one due "in' 5 weeks, another- in 7 weeks from date." Others aro following at short intervals. If you did not eco any of the 1913 Models which we have already landed and sold, arrange with, us to | show you the first of these arriving. BUT \ DO if NOW. Wβ never have a SUNBEAM ! IN STOCK more than a FEW DAYS, and j "FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED" IS THE MOTTO WE WORK ON. Aristocratic Wolseleys. We have on hand several WOLSELEYS for immediate' delivery, both.' 12-16 h.p. .and 16-20 h.p. types, including two of the very LATEST 1913 MODELS, one SPECIAL COLONIAL and ono STANDARD MODEL. We don'f need to dilate on the sterling qualities of the WOLSELEY—there aro co many running in New Zealand, and particularly in Canterbury, and every one is aRUNNING ADVERTISEMENT, that further adulation from Uβ ie unnecessary. All we cay is: "COME AND ,SEE ONE, FOR I SEEING IS TRYING. * AND TRYING MEANS BUYING.' THE Dainty Pelage. i ■■ ■ i That this car is more popular than ever ie 1 proved by the fact that the three we.landed ; last month were ail sold within & fortnight.
