LOW %f jr\ t TYRES ON THE CENTREPOISE V 8 HAVE LONG LIFE The proved Ford springing system, with axles held tru y an permanently aligned by radius rods, saves tyres and gives them extraordinary long life. The smooth action of Ford brakes, with their very large surface of 186 square in , and rigid cooled brake drums, also save the tyres. The Centrepoise V 8 has especially good tyres for New Zealand conditions. They are very large-6 inches, full air balloon—and very good, being 6-ply "heavy duty, instead * of the usual 4-ply reguWf? lar" used on other cars. RADIUS RODS HOLD WHEELS IN PERFECT ALIGNMENT. This long life of tyres is only part of the Low running cost ot the Centrepoise VB. Other factors are the well-known petrol economy of the VB. Also, the cost per mile of repairs is low in this car, which includes no experimental features, but only simple, well-tried component parts. When buying a car check up with owners of all makes, including the Centrepoise VB, how long the tyres wear; the petrol mileage; the consumption of oil, and the cost of repairs. Ask the "hard" users who cover great mileages, like Commercial Firms and Taxi Owners, as well as private owners, who cover smaller annual mileages. Their answers will show that Ford is economical all the way through. V m ■ tjr, r §/ mw JOHN W. ANDREW & SONS LTD. UPPER SYMONDS STREET ....

The Golf Bug! (Written more in sorrow than in anger) Once again that malignant disease called 'Golf' is stalking rampant through the land. Sane and level-headed citizens are succumbing daily to its insidious spell, and even brilliant thinkers are turning positively senile under its Machiavellian lure. Locker Room Baritones and Nineteenth Hole Yodellers are busy practising their cacophonic monstrosities in anticipation of the first Hole-in-One. To cap all, the Big Chief falls a victim to the dread epidemic. Rushing out with three cronies, he muttered "Important Trade Conference ... won't be back to-day ..." Conference, eh? Sez you! Then (so help us), Inkson, the Scratchetary, turns up Saturday morning in streamline plus fours. What a man! As for Sandy the Storeman, who hails from Inverness —well, we no speeka da Gaelic. Thus, this concatenation of events would seem to indicate that the Golf Bug is here in one fell swoop. So if we appear a little jaundiced and cynical, it is only because Saturday's game was the worst ever. Drat this wretched golf! To Hades with the Tiger Country, and down with some Tiger's Milk to festore our equilibrium. THE FRIENDLIEST DRINK IN THE WORLD Bottled uith loving tare by Antae Avenue, Auckland. TAi 15^166
