TRADE EXHIBITS

INTERESTING FEATURES OF A. AND P. SHOW ALLEN BROS. AND JOHNSTONE LTD. One of the oldest established motoring iirnis in the district, Messrs Alien Bros, and Johnstone, have been enabled by exercising just that discrimination necessary for the firm that desires to build up a reputation for quality and value' to obtain control of the sole selling rights "of some of the best known cars on the market to-day. The large percentage of cars sold- by them in this district is a striking testimony to ■ the value of their products and it only goes to prove that the firm that is prepared to offer the right goods will receive greater proportional share of the public patronage. Even the most biased visitor to the Show canot help but be impressed at the exhibit of cars placed; on the grounds by this progressive company. '

•—The Studebaker—

The outstanding feature ,of the display is the exhibit of Studebaker productions.” The name Studebaker is a household word. The broad principle upon which Studebaker business is conducted, and upon which it has has prospered' for seventy-two years, now grounded upon tradition, ensures satisfaction to everybody who deals with the House of Studebaker. Studebaker has been a constant leader in advancing the standards of automobile design, quality and value. More than 800,000 Studebaker cars, valued at more than £200,000,000 (one billion dollars) at wholesale prices, have been produced'and sold. • Studebaker is the second' strongest, financially, of the individual automobile manufacturers of the world. 1.2,500 machines used in 342 manufacturing departments. 1,200 inspectors employed in the plants make 90,000 inspections on the three models during manufacture before cars are passed for delivery. 1,769 mechanical operations on the three- models of Studebaker cars are accurate to one-half thousandth of an inch. Studebaker factories, in cost and size, arc the second largest of the world’s individual automobile works. The ablest engineers, metallurgists, chemists, production experts, inspectors and executive constitute the man power back of the factories and the product. Studebaker factories are modern scientifically equipped and employ over 21,000 people. Seventy per cent, of the total plant, capacity has been constructed and developed in the past seven years. Research and experimental laboratories employ 125 skilled' men, and make 555,000 laboratory ■ tests annually. It can thus be seen that an organisation run on such lines must provide only the highest grade articles and any improvements that are possible will inevitably be initiated by the members of the vast cc-opcration of employees. —The Packard Single-Six—

This is an exclusive car that is recognised among motor enthusiasts as the acme of modern production. Long, low, graceful in every proportion-, the Packard Single-Six makes instant appeal to the eye. Benegth its outward beauty is a quality of design, materal and manufacture that -is genuinely Packard in character. The chassis retains in advanced degree every virtue revealed by the time-tried- Single-Six in the service of thousands- of satisfied owners,, The Single-Six embodies perfectly tfie ideal of a quality car that is light in. weight, economical to operate and maintain, powerful, easyriding, moderately priced

—Morris Motors Products.— Since motor cars have manufactured the word Morris has boon associated with quality aiid durability. Of solely British manufacture, the Morris car is not a cheap car in the accepted sense of the word. Its first cost is comparatively low because it is manufactured in a group of factories that are very efficiently organised, and where nothing but the best, both in men and machinery, is employed. Every individual Morris car is given as much skilled attention as other models costing hundreds of pounds more, but highly-developed production methods and the complete systematisation of routine enables the Morris to be sold to the public -as a good, honestly-built and entirely Brit-ish-made car, at a price that is extremely attractive. It is worth remembering that the. factories that make the Morris car are the best organised in Great Britain. Morris cars are divided into two, types known as the Morris Cowley and the MorrisOxford respectively. Some confusion has existed in the past as to the difference between the two models. While both are built on the same-fun-damental “Morris” principles and design, the Morris-Oxford with its 14/28 h.p. engine, logger wheelbase, larger bodv larger-sized tyres and more powerful brakes, is a full-sized touring car with a big reserve of power, capable of very high averaged speeds. It is, in short, a luxury model—a bet'ter four-cylinder ear being unobtainable or, indeed, necessary. The 11.9 h.p. MorrisrCowley cars are fully capable of satisfying every need of the ordinary motorist, and a standard Morris-Cowley will climb any hill in Great Britain, with power to spare. Their equipment, also, is complete down to the last-detail, but, essentially, the Morris-Cowlev is the “Economy Car” of to-day. While nothing is skimped, either iii chassis or coachwork. the purchaser does not have to pay for those extra refinements such o,s are to be found on the Morris-Ox-ford model. In short, while the Mor-ris-Cowley can do every thing you want, the Morris-Oxford is capable of anything the most discriminating motorist could even wish for.

—The Sunbeam —

Among the higher priced English cars the Sunbeam has always held predominant. Built to last, these cars have adequately fulfilled their purpose and owners in all parts of the world oan testify to their durability and power. Though the initial .cost is slightly inf advance of the cheaper American makes, for the. man who can afford it, a Sunbeam., with its economic running and low maintenance, will prove its worth ir. the end. This -i\ another of Messrs Allen Bros, exclusive agencies.

—Chrysler-Maxwell—

Foremost among this firms agencies are the Chrysler productions. ibis firm has registered one cf the most amazing growths in the motor car world. Established only two and a half years ago this firm has built up an organisation that has a daily output of 875 cars. Surely tin- is a striking testimony of the quality of the Chrysler productions for .any h rm to create a demand such as that they must have the goods to offer. Undoubtedly, Chrysler is a quality car and the fact is recognised l>r the Chrysler owners in this district rode v all testifying to its powers. - One of the loading connoiseur of the motor world in America questioned regarding his opinion of the Chrysler racer said: Bear m nurd, that this car' is built for the man or woman who drives; and then look nt the controls. First of all, there s the perfect balance of the instrument board. Secondly, there s absolute, completeness, all right in front of the driver’s eves, and so simple you can scarcely believe it’s all there, • minoYer, oil pressure, gasoline gauge, motor heat gauge or radnneter, speedometer, light switeip : adjustment'. WPj fid’?* glance tells, you; how-heautiM the Ciirv«ler i«; but-.it does notr tell what-, it -affords in tlie rnterior spaee. : Sex skilfully -h^Ye. .the., engineers manipulated ■;the elements of yveie-lit:'.;lengtb. and .space that yop arc actually-subjected i to what arm-/ •ounts tb an-optical ilusion. You re-

ceive the impression of length far beyond the actual fact—and when you step into the car you find that the apparent illusion in so far as space is concerned, is not an illusion at all. ESjanvinq the four-wheel hydraulic' brakes on the Chrysler. ■ Here is a real four-wheel braking system—velvety soft, more certain, than a mechanical brake, perfect, in equalisation, fast and positive in control. ITI leave that to you; for the one thing in the whole car that '* 1 am most proud is the price. The best answer I could give is to ask you to read the specifications and then take. a ride in the car.” ■

H.S. MOTORS LTD. H. S. Motors Ltd. have organised an exhibition well in keeping with the reputable record of the r firm, which is recognised by the motor’ng pubi c to. cater solely for those who require value and service. • • —The Dodge.— The Dodge car lias been appropriately called the farmer’s car, for, built for service and economy, it has proved itself more than fitted to withstand New- Zealand roads both in winter or summer. Tho fundamental principle aimed at by the Dodge manufacturers was for individuality of appointment, combined u’ith service and economy, and thousands of motorists this Dominion can testify that the company has attained its object. The sound basic design, which has been constantly refined over a period of more than ten years, insures the purchaser a car that will be true in every detail to the traditional reputation of all Dodge Brothers products, for long life, economy and dependable service. The bodies of these attractive special types are low hung and the lines unusually graceful. The long underslung rear springs contribute materially to the exceptional riding qualit:es. The inter ors aro comfortable and roomy, with. ideep seats .and ample leg room. Among the important items or special equipment are five balloon, tires,, nickel-trimmed radiator, frqjit and rear bumpers, motormetei* wvith Jpclf., special .body stripig, -refli view./-'' mirror, automatic windsheld wiper, scuff plates and cowl lights. The price of these wellknown cars has been reduced (onsiderably during the last year or two, .until it is well within the reach of all discriminating purchasers.

—The Nasli.—i This is another car that has established a world-wide, reputation for dependab lity of service. It is a recognised fact that once a motor car enthusiast becomes the owner of a Nash he never buys another make; inevitably, if he washes for a newer model, he' purchases the latest model Nash. A remarkable feature of the Nash is the ease of control. A recent issue of the New York Times described the spectacular victory won by Nash cars in the recent brake test held in Toledo,. v Th’s is the way the test was conducted. E. cli of the 8,265 cars which competed was paced pit 20 mi'es per hour by a motorcycle policeman, who signaled for the appl cation of b akes when the front wheels crossed the first white line on the pavement. Cues were compelled to stop between the two lines which were 39 feet apart. Thirty-eight per cent, failed to make tho stop in the required distance. Nash cars, with four wheel brakes, averaged a stop of 4 feet 9 inches—more than 30 of them. The best individual record was made by a Nash. It stopped in 3 feet even. Such tests as this prove beyond a shadow of doubt the superiority of Nash four wheeled brakes.

—Crossley Cars. —

Til's is one of England’s best known productions—a car which recently broke all the R A.C. certified car mileage records. The Crossley range of cars is a very comprehensive one, and meets the needs of p - actic-a iy every class of motorist. An important 'point, too, is the fact that behind every Crossley car is a reputation; for qualty and performance gained during many years of motorcar manufacturing on a large scale. During the past season abundant ev dence has been provided by owners themselves of the excellent servico Crossley cars have given, and many of them have taken tho trouble to write the manufacturers expressing unstinted praise. Again, the fact that the Crossley broke all R.A.C. certified trial car mileage records when it completed 25,000 miles under the observation of tho Royal Automobile Club, supplies ample and conclusive proof of extraordinary reliability. No other car has ever approached this distance under official observation, The Crossley - completed 25,000 miles with only 34 minutes spent on adjustments or repairs on the road, and (we have calculated) at a total cost of ljd per mile for oil, fuel and tyres. Crossley cars are in use in every British Colony and Possession, and, in fact, in practically every part of the world. The consistent satisfaction they are giving under all conditions is a sufficient guarani ee of their eminent suitability for overseas use.

—The Ajax.—

Also on exhibition this firm has the Ajax, a ear guaranteed to run 26 miles to the gallon. This is also an English production and under a recent test made the trip from Wellington solely on top gear. An inspection of these "solid little cars will well repay the prospective purchaser.

“BUFFALO” BRAND FENCING WIRE.

Farmers visiting the Show grounds will be greatly attracted by a wire test ng display at tlie G'-sborne SheepI'armers* tent, conducted by the New Zealand agents, Messrs H. G. Anderson and Co., Ltd., Wellington. The test is certainty unique as it demonstrates to the farmer the strength of the wire and its endurance powers. A special feature of the w re is the way in which it has been treated in the galvan'sing process. It .'s galvanised while it is hot, and thus it’ does not peal or crack with rough usage like the era.nary ga vanised Wire. Following are' twelve good reasons why it is superior to most other brands : _ . 1. It is. made in Scotland by British workmen. 2. It is better than other fencing . -wire.: . ... .- - . -i ■ * . : 3. ,Tt is cheaper than No. 8 fenc.ng wire. 4. It w-11 last longer than other fencing wire. .. 5. It will not rust like other fencing wire. 6. It will not stretch like other fencing wire. . , . 7. It will not : break like other stee^ fenc'ng wire. 8. You will save £7 in hard cash on every m. le of 7 wire fence you erect, and get a better fence. 9. .You- will pay only l-3rd of the amount for" railage, fre ght or cartage. . 10. Because Brunton’s Patent Galvanising is the best in the world. It does not crack or peel off like other galvanising. . 11. Because it will res st the sa t air and spray, better than other fencing wire. > 12. Because it is not affected by the

frost I ke other fencing wire. The Barb Wire is also made from the same high quality material as the Pla : n Wire, an cl 'when iised w til it makes an ideal fence. .It is 20 per cent stronger. IQ per, cent, cheaper, and will last iruclf longer than other Barb' Wire, One .and. n-hnf xwt-: •f - ;Bdrb T Wvro 1 iff •: equal!. an length - to : 4owt.

NOLA.N A. T. REDSTONE. In these days of mass production it is a welt recognised fact that the firm that specialises is the firm that produces the highest grade article. Mass production tends to foster spee’al'sation and naturally the firm that specialises in the one article can pay moro attention to its perfection. The manufacturers of the Hudson products havo a world-wide reputation for quality in motor car manufacture and in this Dominion 99 per cent, of tho service car drivers can testify to the endurance and speed qualifications of the Hudson super six. Mr Nolan A. T. Redstone has a striking exhibit of Hudson products on the grounds and a noticeao’c feature of the display is the fact that lie is f'idvert'sea as the sole district agent of only the one company’s cars. This is significant, for surely if ho so desired, naving a well-estab-lished name in the focal motoring world, lie could have secured further agencies. Apparently Mr Redstone realises the quality of his lines, the Hudson and the Essex arid is prepared to compete with them against all rival productions. —Tho Hudson Super-Six.—

it needs little description on the part of anyone at the present juncture to furnish the general pubic with details of the Hudson Super Sx, Every' service company has several in its fleet and with many of the companies the Hudson is the only err utilised. This is not the only district where their worth is recognised. To those who have travelled in the Bay of Plenty districts one of the main joys of travelling has been the tr’p in the powerful Hudson cars that are practically universal there for service work. Undoubtedly this car at £475 f.o.b. Wellington, is one of the cheapest propositions on the market e tlier- for lVm.ly work or service companies. To the motorist who has set his heart on a truly fine car, the Hudson Sufier Six thus offers a remarkable opportunity. He obtains a genuine’y high-grade product, yet at a price’made possible by r a large volume. He buys with his car an insurance against high renewal or service charges). He acqu |os a car whose repaitat’on and prestige are such that its ownershp is a matter of pride. A demonstration will prove its qualities beyond the poss'b lity of doubt.

—The Essex—

A pocket edition of the Hudson is the Essex. Built by thfe saine company, economical _to run, easy to man pul ate, hui t- on fine artisticlines, with balloon tymes, this car is well worthy of the firm that turns it out. The New Essex is deser bed by one of the leading trade authorities as “a type of vehicle long needed in this country. It is surprisingly economical to operate, and does net cost much, to buy. These qualities, combined in a six-cylinder car sell ng for £333 f.o.b. Wellington, show what can be done by an organisation that can work just a little ahead of the market and see the pub’ic demand before it aetua’ly arrives.” In the designing of the car, Hudson engineers had in mind the development of mechanical qualities wh cli wouldmeet the modern requirements of smoothness, fiexibil ty\ endurance and economy. It was realised that to improve on the prev oils four-cy-linder Essex —a car with thousands of the firmest admirers throughout the world —it would be necessary to work to high standards of performance and endurance, and to add to them the distinctive advantages of a Hudson-built sx-cylinder car. To attain these results, a free use has been made of the principles and methods which have been responsible for building the reputation of the Hudson Super-Six, as well as the previous Essex. The open car is attractive’y low and fluent in the sweep of its outl’ne.

—The Essex Coach—

Tho coach is a marked advancement over anything of the sort which the market lias known. It has substantia'ly more room. With its wide doors, its comfortable sitting space and the ample head-room above the front seat, it brings a standard of enclosed car spaciousness which has few if any parallels. The windsheld is one-piece, insuring clear vis : on. Rear windows are raised and lowered by a quick-acting, mechanically-operated device which dees away with the old lifting strap. It is believed that in every way' these cars will be found to have the sol d. useful, permanent qualities of the previous Essex, plus a smooth flow of power heretofore exclus.ve to the Hudson -S-upcr-S x. With such qualit’es and particularly with enclosed car advantages offered at such a price, this six-cylinder Essex may he sa : d to supply a new conception- of ideal transportation.

—Victor Trucks—

This company has also on exhibition the famous Victor trucks, which being fitted with three universal joints, are specially adapted to withstand the jars and. jolts of these roads. The truck is very so’idly built and wherever it has been used, .t has proved its worth. Tho trucks were fully tried out in the metalling of the Rangiriri between Hamilton and Auckland. The price also compares favorably with other makes, being £725 for the -2] ton model and £490 for the 1£ ton model.

NIZ. LOAN AND MERCANTILE AGENCY COMPANY LIMITED.

This Company is again to the front in their d spiay of farm and station requisites shown in a marquee on the ground and visitors are cord.ally invited to pay a visit. A featuie of the display is a fine range of sail pies of grass seeds and clover seeds, Hiuemoa manures and McpougnH’s “Border” Paste sheep clip. The seeds comprise a selected lot of machine dressed seed of high genu nation and purity, and the manures comprise ingredients to give 'productive results to the farmers. The “Border” Paste sheep dip is now recognised as tho foremost dip in sheep dips in tho Dominion, and last year 7 mi lion sheep were dipped in the “Border” dip. ~ The "Peter ” oil eng no. an all English machine, is shown and demoristratmis given. This is an ideal engine for the farm and station and commercial purposes. •The 'Company’s agenc es compriseEnglish “Wh tecross” fencing wire, “Emu” corrugated, iron, “Elmhurst teas, Page’s wire strainers, S-andow wool press, Massey Harris Company farm implements, and sole N.Z. distributors for Goodyear tyres. f Elie keynote of the Company’s bus.ness is “service.”

E. CLIRISP & SON

The Gulbransen (Registering 1 anos exhibited by E. Clirisp and Son are perhaps the most interesting exhibit on the Show grounds th s year. It. is not a Player P.ano; it is. fv<r more than that: It is a musical instrument that registers individual touch, just as truly as though we were touching the keys with' our fingers. With, it you can .pljiy the melody of - any' sons; as a solo, subdu'ng the rccompammer.t .as though you wore a master pianist. W.tli it you can accent any single note or group of notes to any degree your musical instinct suggests. With it you can play accompaniments perfectly, following t‘ie soloist, thus al owing him to take such libert es as, li s interpretation requires, arid not compel the soloist to follow you. There is; absolutely nothing human, -fingers canvdo'ltnat--you cannot do .with. the. iieu Gulurnn- . se.n,.;with, 'the melody':indicator. Every 'express on you.' are capable of reeling is finder , -your .-perfect- .control. Chii'Spfs ai'e'"tbe district agents for His Master’s Voice gramophone and records.

Samples of the world famous Zeiss g asses are being shown by Chrisps, who have been recent'y appointed district agents, 'these glasses for station work, races, show and opera are wonderful, being small weight and largo field of v.ew.

..OUTSTANDING DISPLAY BY LARGEST WOOL SELLING FIRM IN THE WORLD.

DALGETY & COMPANY LTD

A very prominent exhibit of. rnusual interest tp the. larming ■©rinmuiuty and the public generally was displayed by Messrs Dalgety and Company Limited. This firm is easily the largest Wool selling firm in the world and, in. addition to financing farmers against wool clips, 1 ve stock, growing crops, etc. ; actively caters for all descriptions of farming requirements. Although occupying a very large space on the Show ground, it, was impossible for the Company to give more than a general indication of the numerous lines handled, the exh bts consisting of main agency I’nes only, each of which, in its class, is claimed to be the best in the world.

The latest “Wolse ey” shearing plant, running in conjunction with 4 and 6 h.p. Wolseley engines, drew a largo crowd throughout the day, wh le the “Donald” wool presses and sawbench, “Gane” m Iking machines and the new jarrah fencing posts, were items of special interest. A very attract ve display of “Texaco” motor spirit, kerosene and oils was favorably commented upon and the exhibits of “Abdulla” cigarettes, “Kero I” disinfectant, “Quibell’s” cl p, Champion's vinegar, Sutton’s ped’gree seeds, Nobel’s s.nd Elcy cartridges and other general merchandise lines, for which Messrs Dalgety and Company Lim ted a. e sole agents, proved interesting and instructive. One of the outstanding displays of the Show was the exhibit of Goodrich “Silvertown” t ies. Goodrich “Sllvertown” tires are well known right throughout the district for the r consistent good service and the fact that they are the only tire carrying p. written guarantee of from 6000 to 16,000 miles, according to ripe. Included in this display, wh ch consisted of Balloons, Hgh Pressure, Semi-pneu-matic and Solids, were a numocr of used t res which had done TO,OOO. 1.5,000, 18,000 and over 20,000 miles under severe conditions on trucks, etc., well known in tins district.

Other branches of the Company’s business were we’l represented, full informat’on being available reg; rding insurance and the book ng of passages by ITuddart Parker, White Star, Aberdeen and Shaw, Savi 1 and Albion sh’pping lines. The Stock Department also provided photographs r.nd information of great interest- to breeders and tho farming community generally, while a display of wool, showing var ous counts and eompar sons of values, was an item of considerable interest and educational values. Altogether the exhibit w's a very fine one and gave a good idea of the tremendously strong pos tion of Dalgety and Company Limited in regard to catering for requirements of the fanning communty and of the high quality of the merchandise lines which they carry.

THE GISBORNE SHEEPFAR.MERS FROZEN MEAT AND MERCANTILE COMPANY LIMITED.

The farmers’ friend. Every need catered for; every icquirement stocked. This firm makes it its a m to sat'sfy the wants of the farmer and the exhib t at the- show is a striking ir.dicat on of how ably it is prepared to fulfil its object. Run on the true departmental lines, each department of the firm is in charge of experts who are fully qualified to adv se the farmer of liis requirements. . This firm has a most comprehensive display on the ground, showing c early how adequate'y tliey eater for the wants of all, from the smallest householder to the largest- stationholder. Foremost amongst the well staged exh bit is the varied collect.on of groceries and preserved meat of all descriptions, clearly demonstrating that the requirements of , all customers r.re ful y considered. The hardware port on is, we were going to say, a revelation, and perhaps this word will aptly descr.be our meaning of the care and attention wh.cli must have been exerc.sed in the selection of the stock as every requ rement of the housewife and farmer appear to have been studied. Here we find every requisite to assist the former and every article' to fulfil the requirements of the latter. Most prominent amongst these are lawn mowers of various sizes and makes. Separators—Viking and L ster—both reliable and efficient, and of all no herd too small or to large for them to liand’e, and al. guaranteed to their fullest capac’ty. It is in the comprehensive display of seeds that the hand of a specialist is noticeab’e. A most interest ng exhibit of seeds, both for the farm and garden, are seen in all stages of germination, and surely merit a close inspection. (All seeds handled by tho Company are purchased on a gemi nation test, and are re-tested before offering to the farmer, therefore all purchasers can rest assured that they are getting the highest quality possible.) Manures are also a strong po nt with the Company, and as these are manufactured at the works. Ivaiti, and special y mixed as required, no stale or old stock is ever on hand. Highland Super Paste Dip, for which the Company are district agents, has had a gresfc sale during the past season, and the result of its effectiveness is now proved in the various, sheds where shearing is be ng conducted —'the sheep r.nd lambs being absolutely free from ticks, lice and other vermin, and the wool in the very . best condition, clearly proving that the manufacturers’ assertion “that the d p r.ot only kills the tick and destroys the egg. but renders re-infection absolutely Tnpossib e” is. no idle _ boast, but js borne out by facts which are visib.e in our own district, where, if necessow, ilic actual users cou be intciviewed and the above statements ' or- " Farm produce of all dcseript ous is handled by the Company and anyone wishing to buy. or sell cannot do better than p’qce the r wishes and requirements with tho Company. • The , exh bit. as a. whole, is well worth inspection and. reflects great credit on those responsible.

the firm’s operations can be taken from tho fact that they have 10-J acres under- vines and in 1924 they recorded a yield of 1,000 galls, per acre—a record fer Must alas a. Every thing connected with the factory is conducted on the most modern lines, the mach nery, vats, ferment tanks, and storage casks being of most modern design available. No visitor to .the Show grounds should fa l to visit tho company’s tent, where the r representative will be p'eased to' demonstrate ful y as to tho qual ty of the T.M.V. products.

COLLETT MOTORS LTD. The British have a reputation throughout the world for quality. To state that :.n article is manufactured in Britain will gve it precedence anywhere in the world over a slm Jar priced article, irrespective of the claims of the manufacturers.

HENRY B. GARDNER,

AUCTIONEER

Mr. Gardner apparently understands the needs of the farm ng community, and his exhibit of the W izard cream separators oil the g ouncs shows that he is "quite capable of catering for them. Undoubtedly the Wizard” is the. production of a firm that understands cream separation, and it is the highest grade. Manufactured by an old established Swedish firm with a capital ot £6,000,000. Lubrication is a feature. The M Kurd includes every valuable modern leat'ure known to separator construetion. So keen were the manufacturers to produce a separator of superline qualitv and proved des gn that the Minch re was .given exhaustive tests during a period ot more than six vears; the final test being to inn it eont "nous y n ght. and day tor vea s. The much no was then taken to pieces and the amount of "oat was so slight that it could only be detected by the aid of a m.croweter. The results have more then justified the expense and thoroughness ot examination in the initial stages for it, has proved that wh le the M znrd skims c’oselv. tho wearing of the machine owing to the dust piool frame, is less than in other separators. Several of the separators a; e already in the district, and a feature that will appeal to farmers are the exceptionally easy terms of payment. The company, to get the mncli nes on the market,‘are offering the machines on p-aet'callv tho terms d elated lb? the farmer. Undoubtedly the ards are one of .the cheapest mnehInes avaihiL e and another feature is that any 'machine -under 301 galls, canabltv can - he raised to -.that o*. «... mdK bv .•merely: purchasing .a. new' bowl. Farmers should not by 1 to view this machine. Another ofr Mr.Gardner’s exh’bits is,a. spec a 1 r.ove ty folding prnmette. This is a most convenient' pram for travel ng. pur-; poses, built on the most solid Lues. :

ORMONDS MOTORS LTD. One of the most attractive exhibits on the Shorn grounds is that of Urmonds Motors Ltd. This stand was the centre of attraction al! day. anti to-daj' it is certain that it will receive a large share of the public patronage. There is a solidity of design about the Buick that appeals to all and .. discriminating drivers recognise that to own a Buick means that they will have something to be proud of, something that will be a joy to drive and will always. give satisfaction and service. The Buick people have always made it their aim to build the best- and their motto is “Whenever there is a better built car Buick will build it.” Prices for all these ears have been considerably reduced during the last year until now there is much justification in the company’s claim that there is not another car to equal it for value on the market. The Standard Six is a most popular model and selling at £415 delivered in Gisborne is exceptionally good value. The upholstery is all that can be desired, and several new features are included in the latest model. The new standard six has a 16 per cent, increase in horse-power, and this combined with its other special features makes it one of the finest pulling cars in the world. There have been no outstanding body alterations from the 1925 model, but the seats are deeper and more comfortable. A, feature of the exhibit is the closed car model t-wo-door sedan which is selling at £470 Gisborne. A most attractive model also is a t-hree-seater with a Colonial body built especially to the design of the agents. This ear, with a firm top and rigid side curtains, is one of the finest models that have ever come into the district.

A seven-seater passenger model also on view is an ideal family car. Visitors to town .and others interested in motoring should avail themselves of an open invitation extended by Ormonds Motors to visit the garage any day this week when they are holding a special display of all Buick models. The agents of the company landed four of the latest models from Auckland on Monday and have been kept busy all the week demonstrating to clients. A seven seater passenger model was purchased by the Harbor Board on Monday.

TOURIST GARAGE. One of the most outstanding displays of motor cars at the Show was that of the Tourist Garage, which showed several models of eac-h of three makes, the Chevrolet, the Reo, and the Rover. Each cf these three cars presents special features which appeal to different buyers, and these were carefully explained by one of the firm’s representatives. The Chevrolet, claimed to he the most popular car on the road to-day, is a product of the General Motors Corporation. The Chevrolet has proved its efficiency under all conditions in this district, hence its popularity. Their numbers are increasing and, many motorists are finding out that the Chevrolet is the best- proposition on the car market to-dav, giving quality at lowest cost, with a maximum amount of '.comfort to tho owner. All open and closed models were on view to-day, the price ranging from £219. ; - Reo engineering has always been the admiration of motordom, net for spectacular flashes cr radical theories, but for minute research and painstaking thoroughness. Soundness of design and sincerity of manufacture have meant far more than body lines and bright colors. Right from the earliest infancy, Reo regarded the motor car strictly from a utilitarian standpoint, not simply as a plaything cr an instrument of pleasure. Instead of catering to the lover of the freakish or the speed demon, Reo manufactured for the average buyer: a.s a consequence, the Reo has always been known as “the family car.” What nrght- have been construed as conservatism has been ingrained- surefootedness. People bought with the firm conviction that a Reo was right in every basic phase of motor car design. Careful progressiveness lias always characterised Reo’s engineering activities. Reo has probably pioneered more worth while features of automobile development than any other concern in the industry. Tlie inner-frame mounting of power units, the dual foot control, which eliminates tlie emergency hand-brake lever, the placing of pneumatic tyres on a strictly commercial ear—these are among the many Reo innovations. Reo is cautions hi the adopt on of new devices and departures as standard equipment. not- for lack of pregressiveness but for the time taken to prove their efficiency. Reo conducts its experiments m its testing department, in the laboratories and on factoryowned cars. Reo never takes goodness for granted or any product not produced in its own shops; it makes sure. So Reo customers are never ticked to pay for Reo’s experiments. The selling price of these ears range from £ 1 63 to £525. The Rover is a 9.20 h.p. English light car, the most powerful of its class, much of the efficiency being due to the overhead type of valves. The engine develops a high road speed. Pressure oil feed lubrication gives a remarkably cool engine. Th*» petrol consumption of the Rover is 40 to 50 miles to the gallon. It has a self-starter and lighting set of the Lucase type. The engine is fitted with a Zenith carburettor, with three Speeds forward and one reverse, this niakin" the car easy to handle. In all the latest world tests in England and Australia for durability, reliability and speed, th s car has won all prizes in its e’ass- It is also fitted with the latest Dunlop balloon tyres, making the- riding qualities very good. The price of this .cur is £265 for the three-seater, and £2Sj for tho four-seater.

STRADIPHOXE COMPANY. An exhibit that attracted argent deal of attention was that of the well-known Stradinhones. manufactured bv Hall and Loncli ot th R town. Cwing to the large number of orders that the firm have had to execute lately they were on y able to exhibit four of their models . instead of a full range .

The firm are agents for Vue. 1 on records and Lyr.c needles.
