TRADE EXHIBITS

NEWTON KING, LTD. MORRIS CARS. Tt can safely be said that in all the motor exhibits the ear that shows the most marked improvement since last year is the Morris. Not only has the general attractiveness of the whole range of models been greatly improved, but very many important improvements have been incorporated both in the coach work and chassis. The new standard of value set by this new range of models is such that it is sure to make a strong appeal all over the world. The general advance in design lias been carried out without alteration to the fundamental details, which, of course, have so largely contributed towards the proven reliability, economy and general trustworthiness of Morris vehicles. In the new chassis the engine, gear box, back axle and transmission remain unchanged except for a few minor’ improvements. The new chassis frame, however, is entirely redesigned. The old three-quarter elliptic v rear springs have disappeared and are replaced by long semi-elliptic underslung springs of great flexibility, and the frame, which is of deeper section and tapered in plain view, is of far more rigid and substantial structure than hitherto. The combination of the new springing system and Smith single acting shock absorbers, now fitted as standard equipment, results in greatly improved riding comfort. The fourwheel brakes system, which has been redesigned, is now of the more direct type, and every brake now has a separate individual adjustment which is simple to operate and easy to get at. Another important improvement is the incorporation of an all-steel dash, in which is housed the petrol tank. This dash serves as a rigid support for the new and attractive steel facia board, in which all the instruments are neatly grouped in an oval panel. The alteration which catches the eye is the new flat-fronted radiator, which replaces the old D shaped one, thus at' fording more comfortable coachwork, which, moreover, possesses improved lines. In addition, the new radiator provides an increase in cooling capacity of over fit) per cent., which should enable the. engine to withstand the hardest and most gruelling service under any climate conditions, without boiling. Describing the coachwork generally, very much improved lines arc achieved. The major improvement incorporated, perhaps, is that on all models doors are now provided on both sides. There is no doubt that the new world

Morris presents to the motoring public an entirely new standard in car values, arid their popularity in New Zealand is increasing every day, and, according to the latest report received by the local agents, Messrs Newton King, Ltd., from Australia, the Morris cars lead sales for the State of Victoria against all makes of cars, including A merican. This is undoubtedly a wonderful achievement, and is absolute proof of their suitability for colonial conditions. Owing to limited space for the exhibit in the Winter Show buildings, it is impossible to . display a full range of models. Those desirous of viewing all the firm has to show in all models of these cars are cordially invited to pay a visit of inspection to the Union St reef showrooms.*' t BENEFIELD_& SONS.

Samples -of box--1 thorn and barberry plants are on exhibition and for these orders in anv quantity may be given. Pinus, maeroearpa and other trees suitable for afforestation purposes are also shown. . It is really worth while to see this v comprehensive exhibit -of trees that everybody wants. HAWERA GAS COMPANY. A SPLENDID DISPLAY. An exhibit of special interest, particularly to householders, is shown bv the llawera Gas Company at the western end of Ngauruhoe and Aspiring Avenue. This includes bath heaters, coppers, and gas fires, so well-known as to require no elaboration. Perhaps the climax in this exhibit is reached by the “Regulo” heat controller and ‘‘New World Junior” gas copper, the latest on the market. ‘‘New World Junior” gas cookers are fitted with the “Regulo” heat controller. The “Regulo’’ enables the temperature of the oven to be fixed at any point far the preparation of food. It is only necessary to turn the graduated disc until it is opposite the mark showing the right temperature wanted in the oven. This means the user does not need to watch the oven at all, and while the “Regulo” watches the 'oven the cook is free to other duties, to do her shopping, sewing or visiting. Purther, the “Regulo” prevents waste of gas, assures complete freedom from worry about the cooking being properly doin', and saves time. The Company offers a special inducement to purchasers iu the direction of a substantial reduction in prices and a special discount for gas stores booked during the Show.
