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 ears only—NO CHARABANCS. For the convenience of passengers we have now opened in Hawera a CENTRALLY SITUATED BOOKING OFFICE in Princes Street (sub-leased from the Egmont Hotel) in which we have our own telephone installed: ’Phone number 2577. T’his 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 Egmont 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. 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 we can deal with increased passenger traf' fie, and we knew from the popularity of our WANGANUI-WELLINGTON service (130 miles for £1) that reduced fares in the Hawera secton 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 iu establishing a service 4$ 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 fo those who have only a limited .timeavailable 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 between NEW PLYMOUTH and Therefore, when you travel PLEASE WELLINGTON. REMEMBER THE PIONEERS. POCKET TIME-TABLES giving full detaiis of our services are available at our BOOKING OFFICE and at Lysons, Foord and Keilar’s Garage.
