m - .V An Amazing 'Testimony—-70,541 Miles of Hard Daily Service—Without Even a Valve 'Re-grind. Mr. A. J. Read, proprietor of Read's Motor Company operating between Christchurch and Akaroa, writes: " Two years ago I purchased a Buick -for use between Akaroa and Christchurch. As everyone knows this is one of the severest tests in New Zealand. The Buick has been in constant use ever since, daily making the return trip, Akaroa to Christchurch, and frequently a second run in the same day. I have had as many as nine passengers on board and on many occasions have carried as much as half a ton weight of luggage in addition. „ , " It has now travelled 70,541 miles as you will see from the speedometer, and I've not had the necessity to use a spanner on the engine, to have the valves reground or to spend a penny on it for renewals, of any sort " I've had a lengthy experience with cars—but the Buick has excelled them all in the general excellence of its performance and its freedom from breakdowns and costly repairs. I would say to any prospective buyer that the Buick is a safe and satisfactory investment- <• Yours sincerely, (Signed) A. J. Read." A WARRANTED PRODUCT OF GENERAL MOTORS.

If you buy a new car every 10,000 miles or so, almost any car will give you satisfactory service. But if you want the same fine service through the second, third, and many following tens of thousands of miles, buy a Buick. Buick's famous valve-in-head engine is still gaining in efficiency at the point in miles where other cars are distinctly on the down-grade. It is the care in Buick design—the constant search for better and more durable performance, together with the extra value that enormous volume makes possible—that is responsible for this. Buick cars are built for big mileage on their speedometers—for greater satisfaction to their owners. Let us prove these claims. BLACKWELL MOTORS - CHRISTCHURCH S. G.
