REDUCE*/ Fa*RES. S.O.S. have not been 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 we can deal with increased passenger traffic. and we knew from the popularity of our WANG AN UI-WELLINGTON service (130 nailer 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 s 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 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 and WELLINGTON. Therefore, whew you travel PLEASE REMEMBER THE PIONEERS. POCKET TIME-TABLES giving full details of our services are available at our BOOKING OFFICE, and at Lysons, Foord and Keilar’a Garage. S.O.S.
