£3613 IN ONE DAY
Three thousand six hundred and thirteen pounds sterling! That’s the amount- paid into Adams’ Timaru garage in one day last week for “ E.M.F.” and “ Flanders ” cars. Five 30-h.p. “ E.M.F.” cars and six 20-h.p. “ Flanders ” cars were sold and delivered on that day, the purchasers being Messrs. T. Kinross, J. Dickson, J. Ashby, T. C. Mullions. Rae. W. R. McGrath, H. A. Glenie. O'Callaghan and Le Cren, C. E. Kerr. J. Adam, and G. Cartwright. These are the first fruits of an honest policy in selling American cars. AVe tested the “ E.M.F.” and the “ Flanders ” before we put them on the market. AVe replaced the American tyres with Michelins, and stipulated for up-to-date, flush-sided bodies, with high side-doors, front and rear. We brought the cars into line with our standard for European cars, and the centre of the finest agricultural district in the South Island has endorsed our policy up to the hiit. And Timaru is not the only branch. In addition to the big Christ'hiirch business, there is a branch at Hastings and agencies in almost every town in the Dominion. Everywhere the “ E.M.F.” and “-Flanders ” have gained the confidence of motorists. The reason is in the cars themselves. The product of the greatest American automobile factory, designed by the cleverest engineers in tlv' States, and built with absolute honesty, they represent the biggest value offered in high-grade powerful i '-.cv. Zealand to-da”. The fiveseater 30-h.p. “ E.M.F.” sells at 11400. The two-seater 20-h.p. “ Flanders ” at CflftO. Both are equipped with Cape hood, aim! shield. and live lamps.
