* 0n... % A » We made up our minds all at once. You see, we’d been out to a show the other evening and were caught in the rain coming home. Half - drowned we were Mary's frock ruined, my suit a damp mess. “ Mary”, I said, as we were having a cup of tea before turning in, “ I’m tired of being without a car. I vote we get that Morris Eight we’ve been promising ourselves—right away ”, Mary’s face lit up—“Do you mean it ? ” she cried. “ I certainly do ”, I replied. “ You’re the keeper of the privy purse—what do you say t ” “Jim”, she said quietly, “I’ve known we could afford it for a long time. Now you’re getting more money and your prospects are so good we really owe ourselves that Morris.” & S f 1L >1 So down to the Morris Showroom we went the next morning, and asked all sorts of questions. About petrol economy — tyre life—re-sale value—upkeep. (I knew all the answers but wanted Mary to be satisfied too!) Didn’t need a demonstration—we know the comfort and performance of that car. The deposit was most reasonable—and I had the choice of 12, 18 or 24 months’ terms for the balance. Our Morris was delivered that day’—a little beauty with Mary’s favourite upholstery colour. So now we’re sitting on top of the world! And aren’t our friends envious! We’ve even planned our holiday trip ! It beats me why we waited so long. You know, l really believe it actually costs us less to get about now than it used to for tram fares and odd taxis. 2866 NEW ZEALANDERS ■>. made their dreams come true this way in 1938 ZEALANDERS purchased 2,866 Morris Eights in 1938 66”* more than any model of any other make in the 7-10 h.p. field.
