MOTOR CAR NUMBERS

APPEAL TO OWNERS Whether the system of registration adopted nowadays is better than the old one, whereby the district was indicated by its initial, i,s always a subject of discussion among motorists, and the general public. Under the old system, oven the inexperienced pedestrian could toll a strange car, and incidentally, the initial was, to a certain extent, an advertisement for the district of registration. The point was stressed in an argument last week,'but in reply, it. was pointed out that the present Gisbonio numbers also give an unfailing indication of the source of origin of tlio car':' registration. The local numbers range from 09.001. to 101.900. This naturally associates the district with One Nought One, that famous cough elixir which, though a local manufacture, is well known throughout Now Zealand. This point has been repeatedly brought under the notice of the, manufacturer, Mr. I. D. ['ram well, and to signalise this unusual combination, he has decided to present three bottes of One Nought One to tlio holder of the license No. 101.101 on communicating with the Pharmacy. This wonderful elixir instantly relieves coughs, colds, influenza, and all chest diseases, mid also acts as a general lonic, invigorating trie system, while its antiseptic qualities assist to keep one in perfect health. It is sold by all leading storekeepers at half-a-crown a bottle, and can be purchased at the Pharmacy.*
