PUBLIC NOTICES. HAWKES. LlilllED, -"THE VALUE FOR MONEY" CAR SPECIALISTS. Royal Garage, Christchurch AND Culverden. CHIEF AGENTS IN CANTERBURY —FOR— The " DODGE BROTHERS" Motor-Car. ABOUT THE MATTER OF, "srEcmcAHONV* A TALK TO THE MAN WHO DRAWS THE CHEQUE.

TTiTHEN you aro buying a Car, does fw * * ever striko you that you pay far too much attention to tho outside appearance, the ehape of the body—the colour of the paint, and so on? .Doc© it over striko you that tho part of a Car that costs most of tho money to buy, and most of the money to run, is not tho body, but tho part yon pay tho least attention to when buying— THE CHASSIS? Let tho ladies of your household solect tho shape, colour, and appearance of tho Car; they arc better judges of theso things than you are, but after they havo mado their selection, and declared it to bo "THB SWEETEST THING THAT EVER WAS" —then it io your turn. Go carofuUy into tho specification of that Car, and see whether it conforms to tho highcet standards in every detail—if it doesn't don't- take it, but buy a, Car that, is "SPECIFICATION FER-I-'ECT IN EVERY DETAIL." FOR INSTANCE, WITH REGARD TO THE HATTER OF BACK AXLES. Don't buy a Car -unless its specification roads "FULL FLOATING BACK AXLE." Practically none of tho medium priced Cars (and by medium priced wo mean cajs selling at under £330). aro fitted with a full floating back axle. If you study their epecificatione, you will eoe them described as "SEMI-FLOATING," "THREE-QUARTER FLOATING," or "FLOATING TYPE." All of these terms aro misleading, but. boiled down, all they really mean is "AXLES ARE LIABLE TO BREAK." A full floating axle is one in which nono of tho weight of tho Car comee on to. the driving axle, and unleso a Car answers absolutely to this description, it has an axle which is liable to givo way on you, no matter under what fancy usmio it is dcEcxibod in the Catalogue. i THE DODGE BROTHERS' ! , MOTOR CAR i ia "SPECIFICATION PERFECT." Go carefully through every detail of its specification, and there is not one 1 item that fault can be found with. It is built in every detail of tho samo quality materials and in a manner equal to Cars selling at daub la tho price. It ia tho only Car on this market selling at anything near. its pxice that ia fitted with a full floating rear axle. WHEN BUYING A CAR YOU MUST GIVE THE "DODGE BROTHERS" YOUR EARNEST CONSIDERATION. IF YOU DON'T YOU ARE NOT STUDYING YOUR POCKETS BEST INTERESTS. Send to us, or call, for Literature and Hust rations of tho "DODGE BROTHERS' CAB." Tho FIRST SHIPMENT LANDS EARLY NEXT MONTH. In the meantime, wo shall be glad to tell you all wo know about this "VALUE FOR MONEY" MOTOR-CAR. THB PRICE OF THE "DODGE BROTHERS" iIOTOE-CAR IS, 2 or 5SKATER, £310.
