A powerful engine seems to be of the' first importance to the successful motoi 1 lcrry, and this has certainly not been overlooked by the Makers of the Petrol Motor Lorry now on show at the Dominion Motor Vehicles, Ltd., Garage, 65 Courtenay Placo. These machines are built to look after an overload of 50 per cent, on country roads, and on. hills of 1 and 12 gradient. The ohassis generally is powerfully bnilt, and the Makers have not ne. glected flexibility. Intending Purchasers should not miss the opportunity of examininff this excellent lorry now in stock.-* AdTt. Have you seen our Khaki Shirts, with! collars to match?

Tue Tourist Motor Co., Hastings, knowing that we aw closely interested in Studobaker motors, have forwarded to us a copy of a lengthy business letter sent them by Mr. Aflati E. M'Lcan, the on. Bineer of their firm, who is at present in Detroit, investigating the claims of tho 1916 models of the great American auto. * mobile manufacturers. Tho Tourist Motor Co. have very courteously given us permission to publish extracts trom the, fetter, and we extract the following paragraph as likely to interest owners and prospective owners of Studebaker cars:— My honest opinion about the Studebaker oar is that it is' the best value for money on the American market, and as far as hni& and workmanship are concerned it is second to none. I consider th&t we would be foolish to take up the agency for any higher priced enr that is built here because if we repaint the Stude- ' < baker and equip it with wire wheels it would be equal to the Minerva in appearance and quietnesß of running. The engine is the cleanest designed ono that I : havo inspected." It may be explained that Mr. M'Leau's mission to America was to secure the agency of a high-priced American car to take tne placo of the firm's Silent Knight Minerva agency. 3 There is a goo<l market in Gawke'a Bay, 5 for the very best car obtainable, regard- - " :i less of price. Mr. M'Leau's honest opin- = ion regarding the Studebaker is that there is no American car on tne market better j than tho Studebaker at any price. The i five-seater touring Studebaker (4-cylinder, 25 li.p.), with electric self-atsrter and eleo- • J trie lights, sells in New Zealand for .£343, -i the 'three-seater Studebaker, with same equipment, being priced at .£335.
