THE STURDY BRITISH-BUILT DENNIS.

The Motor Transport Problem Solved.

Motor transport has come to stay. Business men and others' realise that, and Speak of the Dennis motor-vehicles as unsurpassed in quality, record) and reputation for the successful development of all road transport problems. It has been found that for true worth, long life, arid low Maintenance cost, the Dennis- is unequalled. The easy steering obviates fatigue on long journeys, the simplicity of control and reliable braking inspires great - confidence in traffic, and materially reduces the risk of . accidents. A Dennis, requires but little attention beyond occasional oiling and- greasing, and the fitting of grease-gun lubricators throughout the chassis simplifies this <t»sk. These motors are all fitted with overhead worm-drive, and the fact that nearly all commercial chassis are now constructed on this principle is a compliment to-the originators of the system. Imitation has.always been regarded as the sincerest form of flattery, and Dennis Bros, can well feel proud of being the leaders,, in this and in many other respects so far as the utility and dependability of mojor transport is concerned. ..:.,. The Dennis chassis has been specially desigried so as/to meet all conditions in any capacity. High Toads, rough roads, and hill roads have no terrors for the man at the .Dennis wheel. The vehicle is, constructed with the best material Britain produces for the purpose in sizes varying from 30cwt to six tons. In short, the Dennis is an essentially high-class machine, built on the orthodox lines of best accepted standard practice, and as a result of thirty odd years of practical experience in Britain's biggest factories. The company also manufacture Dennis motor fire Sngincs, one of which is included in the equipment of the new fire station at Palmerston North, where it has throughout given the utmost satisfaction to Superintendent Barnard and his men. . Another machine for which this world-famed firm aro responsible for is the "Dennis" motor-lawn mower, which is made in two sizes, the width of the cuttitfg cylinder being 24in and 30in respectively. These machines are especially designed to meet the requirements of public bodies, golf, cricket, tennis; and all such clubs. The machine ca_'beustia,i if desired as a roller only, aaSitfjiystiem of separate controls cnables^the mechanism v for cutting the grass ito ■bo ihirbwii out of gear as, required^ /r^This; wonderful contrivance, embodies all'the expert knowledge and experience^'derived; from the manufacture bf-the famous Dennis motorlonies.: There is nothing whatever, complicated about this machine. So simple js it in construction that any novice without previous mechanical experience can operate it, and as a laboursaving device it makes' for economy, and. general efficiency.
