To satisfy the demand for a reliable, classy 4-cyliiidcr car of. moderate price, we have secured the sole agency of the 2 to 3 Passenger Car. NGTB.-r-This is emphatically NOT a Cycle Car, built for good roads only, but a strong British-built ear, specially made to stand the back country roads, at . ' wX'/iv; m utm r m wKV to-v^ter sans* iy :<H W* i** During the past twelve to eighteen months, we have been offered practically every light car and cycle car agency on the New Zealand market, but our wide experience of back country i'oads has taught us that they were altogether too flimsy,to stand up to tho arduous work required of them for any length of time on average New Zealand roads. "VYe, have, therefore ' consist tently turned all the; ,offers' down, as being, far TOO FLIMSY in construction until the " SIRRON " appeared, which will take its owner anywhere that an ordinary car will take oneback to enjoy the charming Southern Lakes if necessary, in the; holiday season. Complete with hood, screen/- gas and oil lamps, pump, jack, horn, &c. 10-15 4-Gylihder"SlßßON" Without 'division in seat as shown if desired.

WEIGHS only 14J cwt,!! '■■■['■'■■:■< - • WILL scamper up hills like a rabbit. '•■■'• > , : BUILT RIGHT up to the latest Automobile Engineering practice. THE CAR that multitudes have been waiting' a reliable and up-to-date machine at a modest price-

BEAUTY combined with STRENGTH! . THE NEW MAXWELL 25 has a charming body of the Prince I Henry Type, fitted with Tan Hood (not the common black ''i American hood, hut after the English style). Stream-lino model, so classy in appearance as to give owners a genuine . pride in their car, the Nickel Silver Mountings adding to the I tone of classiness and being far easier kept clean than brass mountings. .. >, THREE SPEEDS forward and ONE reverse of the proper selective tt'J V/</&JJi^K pc ' giviug A - BI G ADyANTAGE on hill work, which ' every HONEST possessor of the old-fashioned two-speed gear . knows and admits. THE BACK AXLE is of the same style-IMPROVED FLOATING TYPE—asis used on cars of about double the cost. THE IGNITION SYSTEM is also right out in the very front rank -SIMM'S British High Tension MAGNETO, which leaves no risk to the owner of having to potter about half Ms time with a faulty ignition system. SPRlNGS.— Observe the springing, four springs the same as used on cars treble the price of the Maxwell. And RIGHT THROUGH THE MAXWELL you'll find the latest engineering practice embodied, and YOU'LL WOPER HOW THE MAKERS GOT THERE AT THE PRICE. THE 2 PASSENGER CHASSIS is exactly as above, and is just as classy, speedy, reliable, and economical. TESTERS; have had. these.Cars' over all kiuds ..of-.'tlie .roughest . roads, in the most mountainous country, with instructions to give them a thorough gruelling—smash them if you can, pro-' HERE IS A SAMPLE of results from one such test: 2300 miles covered in 7 clays and 7 nights. The engine never for ani instant being allowed to stop during the whole arduous task—a performance that would do credit to any British or French car selling at treble the price of the MAXWELL. YET .THE MAXWELL sells at £260, and docs work its aristocratic relative might well envy. ■"'■.'■ NO WONDER A BIG RUSH has set in for MAXWELLS the world over, orders for just on 30 cars having already'been Booked in the.lnvercargill district.",, '•'■,■■ AND NEW ZEALANDERS will'be'just'as'quick to-appreciate the ,•'• ' 'immense advantages of this latest;'ancVup-to.-date production..
