M'Leau, chief engineer and a director of the Tourist Motor Company, Hawke's Bay, agents lor some years past for Silent Knight Minerva and Studebalcer motors, recently went to America with the intention of securing the agency of one of tho real top-notch American cars, whatever the price. He gives his impressions awl the result of his investigations in a letter to us, from which the following is an extract:—"X have examined practically all the leading American cars, my intention being to secure tho agency for. a high-priced automobile. But after seeing the new Studcbaker motors being manufactured, riding in oue of them, and thoroughly investigating them, I consider it a waste tit time to look for something better, which cannot be found. . . . The new Studebakcr engiiie is the cleanest motor manufactured in '■ America. Its power is a revelation, and the material is second to none. For quietness it is equal to , the Silent Knight Minerva. All the improvements, without exception, which were considered necessary r."om our previous experience, have been incorporated in this now Studebaker, and T could not find a single detail that I could sugepst as an improvement. . . . Tha 'starter and lighting equipment is, in my estimation; the simplest and most reliable made. . . . Tho lyidyvori this year is excellent, and tho cabrotoloi and limousine are magnificent pieces o! work, equal in finish and appearance t< any of tho Minerva cars that we hav« imported." We need only add that th{ price of the 191G Studebaker 4-cylinde( touring car is =t'3J5, and of the 4-rylindei S-spater roadster, ,£335. Adams, Ltd., N.Z.
