£550 TS the price of a 7-seater 40 h.p. J- (English rating) ABBOTT CAR. We do not claim that it is the Best Car made, but we do assert that it i* the Finest Car made and sold at £550 The ABBOTT is a Solid Car. It at once creates the impression of its worth—the graceful stream lines, the high sides and spacious seating accommodation. You admire it as soon a-= you see it. r™And™ is quite as good as it looks. The ABBOTT' is good through and through. It is not built for speed or show. It is made graceful in appealj ance »ud comfortable, but those were [ secondary considerations to frame and j engine construction. It was specially 'made for SOLID USE—a moderate speed Car of great strength and I solidity. j It is built on the double-drop frame system for additional strength and to keep the Car nearer the ground. The massive rear and front axles ere a , great feature, and only those -who drive over New Zealand roads know the value of. strong, reliable axles. The rear axle is, full floating—that is to say, the driving axle carries no weight. That is carried on the casing, and this system, has many advantages. The body is supported on two threequarter eliptic rear springs and two semi-eliptic front springs. The tappit valves are enclosed and silent, and the engine requires oiling not more frequently than every 3000 miles. A dynamo supplies electric light for head and side lights—in fact, everything is right up-to-date. It is the only Car that has run to Napier and back to Hawera on the top gear throughout—a great performance ,for a touring Car. Call or write to us for details. J. BLAKE & SON. HAWERA. ■
