The new' “Lister junior”'is designed .upon the same durable and high quality lilies as the Standard Listov Engine, and is made wi.tli the wxdl-fcnown -“Lister” /finish' and high-grade material, It undoubtedly meets} a long-felt dc;l!lhhJ for a small powered engine; withtiu the reach of the sniall engine user; .which in quality and price makes it unnecessary to .go to the foreign inanu,Lvt>m>r for engines of tlris' sire. Several ;models. Imth haul! and power, of f]>t_> . new Lister- Separator are also shown

The general get-up and finish of these, .separators i s typically “I/ister.” ■ • Tlie' ‘‘Everyday”' Bucket, Cow Betec- ; tor'will be:'an. object of ; much interest : to /the practical daily' farmer, as it : ' forms a means of cheaply and efficiently testing his herd, independent of the : make of‘ milking machine he u|es. This cow - detector is being largely used by! / the herd 'testing associations/throughout the North- Island. y ; • /■ The Alfa Laval Separator is the best'.' known and most largely/used separator in the world.; A splendid "model; 65gallon, Alfa is shown, fitted up ‘and •driven< in conjunction'with the Ridd . milking 'plant,- . the- .Lister -engine, a combination that cannot be; equalled in farm equipmentlto-day, .: j.. Dodge Brothers’ Touring Car.—ln the iiew touiing car-. .Dodge Bros,, /have brought out new beauty, nepy'riding ease, and new mechanical. perfection'- to' the product on which their reputation hasybeen founded. The Dodge B.rok.’ engine -needs- ho eulogy. It. h'as,- proved its- power and economy .to over a /million .owners. It. is - tlie -improved appearanceand- riding eoiniort . which have added so iiiuch to-the value of this, Taranaki’s most-, popular, car; The ' reaiy springs, now imcterslung, liave -been materially lengthened-. The ' wheel-base, too, is longer, and the combined .result is a notable improvement in riding qualities. In appearance, too, the new Dodge Bros.’ touring ear impresses, you . in/ stantly. Tlie loiig straight hood and cowl effect, unusually wide doors, longer and wider running boards, 'and the many other improvements exemplify the “sound value” principle which;hasVmade Dodge Bros.’ cars tlie standard '.' ofvalue everywhere. , i . 'Dodge Brothers' Coupe.—The inoment j this car ds seen it is realised how perfectly Mt fulfils a real : need. The purpose of this-cay is evident in every detail —-to render practical closed' car- ser-. vice at : the lowest’ cost per mile. The body. body, pillars niid frame \yprk are. j built pf steel, a/ new principle in. closed car construction. This contributes liot only to ’the car’s safety and dependability, but also permits tlie use of Dodge Bros.’ enamel finish, which is fanibhs for its lustre over a number* of years. A saving in . weight is effected i by the fabric-covered top and rear q.uarteh This is also a rumble-proof constructioil. deadening the yibiition so Icoinmon in closed cars. The seat upJbolstery is g'einiine blue Spknish leathev uhieh looks well and will wear well.- Tbs doors are unusually' whle. 28 inches, as is also the seat, 46 inches. This car is recognised as/onc that will provide comfortable, individual transportation at the lowest cost per mile, and its splendid appearance will endure far,beyond, the .period of life commonly allotted , to . niotor-cars

. Dodge Brothers’ Commercial Cars.— During the past few years Dodge Bros.’ commercial cars have been used.in every line of .business, in fleets of from two to twelve hundred cars. During the past year Dodge’ Bros.’ dealers delivered 18,427 screen and panel commercial cars, exclusive of ‘several thousand, commercial chassis, which is virtually double the volume of the'next nearest competitor. This impressive record was not" produced by chance. From the standpoint of economy they are unapproachable. It is a.' fact everywhere conceded that they w ill take care of the most 'difficult., ,a s . well as the most ordinary, hauling requirements at the lov/est cost-.per mile. Fleet ow ners who have experimented with various makes of cars have proved, to themselves that the Dodge Bros.’ commercial car will [deliver more miles of transportation I service for less money.. The appearance of Dodge Bros.’ commercial cars is ulso of derided value to any,,owner: Their dignity and impressiveness always rcI fleet favourably on the owners’ name I they- display. • '

The Austin Cars. —-The Austin car, so well known in New Zealand, has been one of the most popular English cars - throughout the past twenty years. As‘evidence of the enormous demand for the - Austin .productions' it mav be pointed out that the works at Long-

bridge, Birmingham,, are the largest motor 'works • in the British Empire. Austin successes are due primarily to the beauty of line, the-.proved value of' -providing five, crankshaft headings, the four-speed gear-box with correct ratios', the quick and easy brake adjustment, the fine suspension, and the full equipment of every car. In addition- to these features the Austin possesses a .wealth ,qf power, extreme 'flexibility, and silent .running. The exhibits include tlie Austin “Seven” 'and the Austin “Twelve.” •-■The-/former is 'aptly described as the motor: for the million; Undoubtedly tlie' economy of operation for which this car i s liotdd makes a very .strong-appeal. As regards work-’ manship and finish, no further guarantee is needed other than tlie 'Austin trade mark, which adorns tlie radiator.. This . little marvel /has a four-cylinder water-cooled engine, three speeds and bevel drive, and -will carry with ease .two adults and three children. Tlie Austin “Twelve” five-seater touring is an excellent family car . designed for the most economical service. It s beauty of line makes a very strong appeal, as does also, the adequate protection, provided iii bad weather. As regards stamina and power, it will be remembered that/ in the recent motor races om the Muriwai beach- the Austin. “Twelve” was an easy wanner' in Ahe’ fifty-mile'.race, leading by.nearly a mile. 11l hill-climbing contests, too, the Aus' | tin lias its -laurels, taking* first and second place in the South Island contests held early, in the year. Buy an Austin and banish care. Morris Oxfopd- and Alorris Cowley .Cars.—Theseq cars, have, .attained, the j proud position of .being the most oopular- cnrs in England to-dav.
