THE LEADING BRITISH MOTOR CYCLE. Britain has the reputation of turning out better motor cycles than any other country, and the "8.5.A." stands in the lead of British motor cycles. Although the "8.5.A." factories are filling big contracts for guns, munitions and military motor cycles, the oversea trade in motor cycles is being maintained in an endeavour to hold the market for British goods against a tidal wave of neutral oxports. The New Zealand sales of B.S.A. motor cycles have been fully maintained ever since the war started, and it is therefore not necessary to ask for support for the "8.5.A." on patriotic grounds. The "8.5.A." is a single-cylinder machine of 4$ h.p. Tating, with a beautifully strong and simple 3-speed gear. It is of moderate weight, and runs at a very low cost. Adams Ltd., agents for "8.5.A." Motor Cycles. C. J. Adams, Representative, Cuba Street, Palmet* aton North.—Advt.
