ABOUT THE NEW THREE SEATER HUMBER CAR.
The latest product of the firm of Humbcr, Ltd., is the 10-23 h.p threescatcr car, a specimen of which is at prws-int on view in tho a-rago of Messrs Adams, Ltd. Beautifully finished in a rich brown Bhade, with nickelied fittings, thi_ _£_ shows evidence in every line of the scrupulous care and artistic taste which have enabled the Humber firm to attain tho reputation for turning out' quito tho neatest, /.martcst, and most comfortable med-ium-powered cars made in Britain. The most surprising thing about this threesen tor is its price—£36o complete with hood, Beatonson wind-shield, electric side and tail lamps and spare wheel, here in Christchurch. It is a real threei seator, with a wide, roomy seat which will seat three without crowding. The running boards are attached direct to the chassis, dispensing Avith vallanccs, and tho luggage compartment at the rear is especially roomy. With, tho hood up tho car can be converted into practically a cabriolet, and it should prove an ideal doctor's car. Although of moderate engine-power, and therefore very economical to run, the new Humber"is a splendid hill climber. No fewer than four wero sold in Dunedin last week by Mr S. R. Stedmah, for use on the hilly roads of Otago. To appreciate the beautiful lines of this remarkable natty car, and tho refinement displayed in every detail of finish and equipment, tho car should be inspected, or of this is impossible we will forward photograph and description. Tho Humber is British-built throughout, and its low price is the result of an exceptionally large output and scientific factory organisation on American lines. Adams, Ltd., Agents for Humber cars. Garage, 219 Tuam street. (W. Schwartz, Humber representative.) O
