MR. F. D. KESTEVEN, Chaneery I»aae, Christchurch, writes: "I am more than pleased with my Stndebaker Commander. I have had at different times eleven cars three of which have been Studebakers. "When I decided to buy a new car during: the last show, I had no idea which car I would buy, but after seeing the Commander I finally decided on another Studebaker and I am more than satisfied with my choice. The car has given me perfect satisfaction using little oil and no water. The engine has so much power that the ear flies up hUls and the acceleration is the fastest I have ever known. The control is so easy thataehildcouldhandle the car. "I have taken the ear over very rough roads, but even when driving very fast, I did not feel any bumns at all, owing, I suppose, to the wonderful springing ABd the hydraulic shock absorbers/' MR. R. L. WIQS.EY, Managing Director, The Mount Coojc Motor Co., Timaru, writes: "The order we have just placed represents the thirtieth Studebakercarboughtfrom you. "We have been using Studebaker cars since 1911 and at the present time we have 20 in use. One at Queeustowri has a mileage of 121,000 to its credit, another at Fai-"lie has just reached the 76,000 mark- Both these cars run perfectly and mechanically le m almost as good as new. The ear that we purchased in Fecember, 1927, has already run over 42,000. "As you know some of the tourist routes covered by us are the hard <?t in New Zealand, embracing the M.Kenzie Plains, Lindis Pass, Kawarau Gorge, the Crown Bange (4,400 ft.) and the famous Skippers Run, Queenstown. We run a daily service between Timaru and the "Hermitage." We also run a tri-weekly service between the "Hermitage" and Queenstown besides other services at Queenstown, Queens* town-Cromwell, etc. "Our cars run over roads of every description, under all weather conditions, but the fact that we have kept Studebaker cars for such a long time speaks for itself. We cannot speak too highly of Studebaker. reliability, and we are very well satisfied with the Studebaker for power, speed and endurance." MR. C. R. DODGE, of Dodge Bios., Builders, Christchurch, writes: ' Once again I write to you about my Studebaker car, as X toured all round the South Island and can honestly say that the Director would want some beating for riding comfort. I have made some excellent times in the run to Dunedin, attaining and maintaining a speed of 65 miles an hour without the slightest effort and my petrol consumption was about 18 or 19 miles to the gallon, which I consider excellent.
