Motor Expert tells why he bought a Studebaker: Mr. A. G. Nalder, sheep farmer, Mackenzie Country, was for fifteen years engaged in the motor business in South Canterbury, and his business has been very largely concerned with English cars of the highest grade. He was never in \ny way connected with the sale of Studebaker cars in New Zealand, hut he ifl now a Studebaker owner. The following letter tells why : Messrs. Adams Ltd. October 12,1917. N.Z. Importers of Studebaker Motors, Christchurch. Dear Sirs, In reply to your inquiry as to the reasons which led to my purchase of a Studebaker (Modal 17) Touring Car from you six months ago, I have to say that I made a very careful inspection of all the cars on the market, and came to the conclusion that the Studebaker was quite the best value for the money. I was especially impressed by Studebaker perfection of finish in even the smallest details, the car being in this respect the equal of the most expensive English care. Six months of driving experience with the Studebaker have convinced me that my judgment was not at fault. The car is reliable, exceptionally easy to drive, a wonder at hillclimbing, and. considering its high power, economical. It is also surprisingly easy on tyres. The electrical starting and lighting apparatus are as nearly perfect as can be, and I have had no trouble with them. The removeable front seats are a welcome feature for the farmer, rendering it possible to use the car for the carriage of supplies of all sorts. Prom the point of view of the owner-driver another good point about the Studebaker is that it is exceptionally easy to keep clean —Yours faithfully, (Signed) A. G-. NALDEE.
