THANKS. The management of S.O.S. Motors wish to thank the travelling public foi their support'during the last 44 years. We have always aimed to give GOOD SERVICE by employing only reliable drivers and utilising first-class touring ears only—NO CHARABANCS. For the. convenience of passengers we have < now opened in Hawera a CENTRALLY SITUATED BOOKING OFFICE in Princes Strctc (sub-leased from the Egmont Hotel) in which we have our own telephone installed: ’phone number 341. This is in addition to our USUAL DEPOT at CRITERION GARAGE, Regent Street (Lysons, Foord and Keilar, Ltd.) where the cars are housed overnight, and which will still remain our STARTING OFF POINT FOR ALL OARS. From our' office ’phone in Egmont Building we have an EXTENSION ’PHONE into the driver’s bedroom (’phone 341), and another driver has the ’phone at his residence, c/o Mr Blake '(’phone 219), so that INTENDING PASSENGERS can book at any time of the day or night. REDUCED FARES. S.O.S. have not been COMPELLED BY COMPETITION, as some people think, to reduce the fare: it is a natural outcome of our expansion. Having now a much more frequent service wc can deal \vith increased passenger traffic, and we knew from the popularity of our WAN GANTJI-WELLIN GTON service (130 miles for £1) .that reduced fares on the Hawera section would bring INCREASED PATRONAGE. S.O.S. ARE THE PIONEERS S.O.S. ARE THE PIONEERS We want that fact to SINK IN. It was our enterprise in establishing a service. 44 years ago in face of adverse circumstances, and later our further enterprise by making a motor connection with ASHHURST, enabling passengers to get from New Plymouth to NAPIER and Wairarapa IN ONE DAY, that has been such a tooon to those who have only a limited time available for travelling.
