The following letter, addressed to us by Mr. It. Cowper. surgeon, dentist, of this city, demonstrates the land of service (the Sfcudebakft. fill giro in th< hands of an owner who 6K? had com ; parativoly little driving experience, Mr. ' Cowper purchased a Studebaker car rr<e\ us oil November 30th last, and his first lecffthy tour was one in the North Island during the recent Christmas and Nen Year holidays. Concerning his esperi. ences on that tour, Mr. Cowper write. "Just a few lines to tell you how th<n* oughly satisfied I am with myStude. baker car. As you know, I took it away with me to the North Island, and went in all about 1200 miles, over all the big hills up in the north., tioing from Wellington through to Napier over the flimutakas, across to Palmeraton, Wanganui. End New Plymouth, and back to Welling ton ovor tile famous Pnekakariki Hill, the car took all the big hills with the greatest ease, and did not §ive mo the slightest anxiety. All that distance it waa not touched by anyone save to give it petrol and oil, and we did not even have to put wind into the tyres. .You will be surprised to hear that I brought the car over the Zig-zag from Lyttelton -Jo Sum. ner, which says something the cap and tho way you taught me to drive."
