TRANSPORT COURT AT EXHIBITION
FEATURES OP APPEAL TO MOTORISTS Among the many industrial attractions at the Centennial Exhibition is the Transportation Court, • Here the motor traders of New Zealand have designed a series of displays which would bear comparison with the famous motor shows of Great Britain and the Continent'. This show is not limited to a display of motor-cars. There are many working exhibits depicting practically every phase of motor-car manufacture. One of the highlights of the court is the large exhibit by Dominion Motors, Ltd. The first novelty is that the display is made m a sunken court. Here, in a colour scheme of cream and scarlet, is a display that covers the whole field of modern transportation, prominently featured are a select series of British motor-cars, impressive in style, and expressing all that is best in the tradition of British engineering. Here are also the masterpieces of American industry, big and streamlined to express the high point of luxury in motor-car design. Commercial vehicles and a large display of tractors are proof of the modernity, convenience, and work-capacity that modern engineering has brought to farm tractor design.
