THANKS. The management of S.O.S. Motors wish to thank the travelling public for their support during the last 4? years We have always aimed to give GOOD SERVICE by employing only reliable drivers and utilising first-class touring cars only —NO CHARABANCS. Por the convenience of passengers we have now opened in Hawera a CENTRALLY SITUATED BOOKING OFFICE in Princes Street (sub-lease J from tho Egmont Hotel; in which we have our own telephone installed: 'phone number 2577. 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 CARS. From our office 'phone in Eg mon ' t Building we have an EXTENSION 'PHONE into the driver’s bedroom (’phone 2577), and another driver has the ’phone at his residence, c/o Mr Blake (‘phone 2219), so that INTENDING PASSENGERS can book at any time of the day or night. REDUCE!* F.U.RES. S.O.S. have not t)een COMPELLED BY COMPETITION, as some people think, to reduce the fare: it is a nat ural outcome of our expansion. Having now a much more frequent service wo can deal with increased passenger traffic, and we knew from the popularity of our WANGANUI-WELLINGTON service (130 mile.; for £1) that reduced fares on the Hawera section would bring INCREASED PATRONAGE. S.O.S. ARE THE PIONEERS S.O.S. ARF. THE PIONEERS We want that fact to SINK IN. It was our enterprise in establishing a service 4i 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 boon to those who have only a limited time available for travelling. S.O.S. enterprise in FIRST ESTABLISHING the above services paved the way and brought into being the splendid chain of motor services now operating oetween NEW PLYMOUTH aDd WELLINGTON. Therefore, when you travel PLEASE REMEMBER THE PIONEERS. POCKET T.IME-TABLES giving full details of our services are available at our BOOKING OFFICE, and at Lysons, Foord and Keilar’s Garage. S.O.S.
