WHAT DR. POE-BITT, OP WANGANUI, AND MRS. E. G. WEIGHT, OF WINDERMERE. SAY ABOUT THE STUDEBAKER. The firm of Adams, Ltd., does not handle second-grade goods. It holds the agencies for the Silent Knight Minerva car. the Humber car, the Triumph motorcycle,' and the B.S.A. motor-cycle, and last, but not least, it has added to ita list of agencies the Studebaker. car, believing it to'be in every way the of - all American cars. During- the last' two years some hundreds of Stuaebakera have . been sold in this country, and in every instance the car has given perfect satisfaction. Here is what a Korth Island Studebaker owner, Dr. Porritt, of Wanganui, has to say of his experience:— "Just a few lines to tell you how pleased I am with the Studebaker you recommended md to buy. As you know, I have got my second • one now. I had the 5-scater a year, and during all that time had some hard running, and never had the slightest trouble with it. I don't wish for anything better than the 5seater as a family car, but for me. of course, in my doctor's work, the 3-seater is more convenient, and now it is hard to realise how we ever did .without the self-starter and electric lights, neither of. which have ever given me a qualm. X would always be glad to tell anyone how satisfied I have been with my two Stude.baker cars (1 have had five different cars now. and so have had a little experience of them) if it is any help to you, but I imagine you don't want much helping, as they seem already to have established their popularity." A South Island Studebaker owner, Mrs. E. G. Wright, of Windermere, Ashburton, Writes as follows:— "I have much pleasure in saying that my 25 h.p. Studebaker car is in every particular eminently satisfactory. I 2nd it exceedingly comfortable and quiet —running smoothly at a speed of 20 or 25 miles an hour. It is absolutely reliable, and is not affected by a heavy north-west wind. The lolectnc lighting and solf-starting apparatus are perfect, and render the car all that is desired for- . a lady to drive. My daughter, Mrs. Morgan, is delighted with her's. which she bought after seeing mine. Jly son, lam • sure,-is equally pleased with his threeseater. and Mr. C. C. Roberts, my son-in-law. has now ■ bought one of the 1915 three-seaters. I think the fact that we have purchased four of these cars to our perfect satisfaction is a guarantee of their > reliability." The prices of the new 1915 Studebakers are:—2s h.p. Five-seater. .£345; 25 h.n 'i'hroe-seater, .£.145; Six-cylinder seater, .£455; Six-cylinder Seven-seater ,£165.
