NO OLYMPIA THIS YEAR

Private Displays to be Made

MANY BEAUTIFUL NEW MODELS

There will be ao Motor Olympia this year, this faririnn having bees com* to by the Canterbury branch •f the Hew Zealand Motor Traders' Association. It has become a habit of prospective purchasers of cars to wait far the Olympia Show to see the newest models, in consequence of which business has to some extent shown a tendency to become slack just prior to Carnival Week. Motor traders will therefore make the experiment during the text seven days (including to-day) of making private displays on their own premises, in consequence of which the Eiag Edward Barracks will not be the centre of attraction as generally at this time of the year. Owing tt tit necessity for conserving space at the Barracks it •as net always possible for the traders exhibiting there in the fast to display as many models as they desired, and tfcey are of the opinion that by using their own premises fhtf will be able to overcome this disadvantage. The kttsst apdels from the world's manufacturing centres have saw sxrrttd, and very interesting they are. Six cylinders piitatMfi. and th«tt are also wide selections of fours sad carats, not emitting cars of the "baby" class, which, caaeseaat of their low running costs, are popular with the •tawaanctlly minded. It will be noticed that most of the eitfrfts axe of the closed type, and in this, connexion great adopted being most attractive, and a long way in advance of those which characterised earlier models. The open dass of car has not been entirely neglected, however, for there are still many people who prefer them to closed fwMciss. Trucks, tractors, and motor-cycles will also he on view so that an inspection of the various city motor afessJees concerned should provide an interesting study. A ansaber of firms will make displays at the Canterbury Agrkaltural and Pastoral Association's Summer Show in ■SjiWan to those on their own premises.
