HUGE LOADS AMAZE NEW SETTLERS

Hauling colossal loaas of cement, timber, wool-bales, and shingle over rough roads, water-courses, and mountain passes, widely-experienced European truckers now driving for local companies have expressed their overwhelming enthusiasm for the “Commer’s” mighty power and ease of handling. In any language, it’s terrific! The new Commer Diesel engine yields a high-powered torque of 2701b/ft at 1200 r.p.m., giving tremendous power at low revs and develops 105 b.h.p. Recently. when ordering more Commers, the Miramar Carrying Company, of Wellington, said: “We are amazed at the work these trucks are doing. In a total of 68.000 miles, although our all-up weight has been the maximum of 12 tons, our two Commers are still on their original tyres and overall maintenance costs have been practically NlL.’’ That’s real proof of performance. Many owners have written to Haines Motors testifying that Commer has the stamina to stand the gaff for round-the-clock heavy hauling on emergency projects that few other trucks would even attempt to match. The experience of 50 years’ truck building has made Commer the King of the Road, supreme in all the important requirements:—Power, Economy, and Endur2nce. The Haines Family have been m the transport business for three generations and are well qualified to assist in the choice of trucks suitable for various jobs in servicing them during use.
