MOTOR CAR NUMBERS

APPEAL, TO OWNERS

Whether the system of registration adopted nowadays is better-limn the oid one. whereby the district, was indicated by its initial, is always a subject o'.f discussion among' motorists, and the general public. tinder the old system, the inexperienced pedestrian could tell a strange ear, 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 (iisbornc numbers also give an unfailing indication of the source of origin of' tne ear'" registration. The local numbers range from 99.001 to 101.999. This naturally associates the district with One Nought One/ that famous cough elixir which, though a local manufacture, is well known throughout New Zealand. This point has hcen repeatedly brought under the notice of the manufacturer, Mr. I. D. Bramwell, and to signalise this unusual combination, he has decided to present three bottes of One Nought One to the holder of the. license No. 101.101 on communicating with the Pharmacy. This wonderful'Olixir instantly relieves coughs, colds, influenza, and all chest diseases, and also acts as a general tonic, invigorating tne 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 Pi:ar;na'.'V.*
