THE REASON OF "LALLEY" SUPERIORITY.

The "Lalley" engine—tho "modern mechanical marvel" that drives the "Lally Electric Plant"—is distinctly exclusive in construction and embodies all tho latest features that make for purposes, the little "Lalley" marvel is perfection in internal combustion engines. Unlike moat other engines designed for house-lighting and power water-cooled. Its regular stroke, and its almost entire freedom from vibration, give it a genuine steam-engine precision and bespeak for it a durability almost unknown to engines of tho pame typo. There are really only three moving parts in the "Lalley" engine, and these in turn are operated on specially large ball-bearings. Ordinary split babbit or roller bearings are unknown on the Lalloy engine. Any mechanic can therefore well understand what this saves in wear and tear — what it adds to the life of the Lalley electric plant. The Lalley engine simply must be steady in its action —it is specially designed to run a direct-con-nected electric generator, hence tho light direct from tho generator is as unHickering as that received from the storage batteries. The best testimony to Lalley superiority is tho fact that no perceptible difference in wear and tear could be noticed in a plant which had done constant service for about ten years and was still continuing to give the same daily service as it gave during the first year. There is, moreover, nothing more to v iderstand about the Lalley engine than one need understand about a watch. Both are tho same in the respect that so long as they are not tampered with, everything will go right. Perhaps the only difference is that all Lalley engines are equally reliable. Each is specially tested before it is sent out, and tested again on Installation to the satisfaction of the customer. Unce it is installed there is nothing in the nature of complicated machinery to master. It is as easy as winding a watch, with the extra, provision that there's .no "main spring" to break with overwinding. In other words, the engine and storage batteries work automatically—once the battefies are fully charged the engine stops. The many marvels oi this new and up-to-date electric plant are too numerotis to mention here—the better way is to write or call and get all information direct from S. Winn and Co., Ltd., electricians, Nelson. This short article has told you just a little about the engine only—there are many other points about the engine that you can learn from the information that will be sent you, but better still than all this—you will learn just what Lalley Light means to you and your family* in your own horne —;it brings you the comforts and conveniences of tho city, and supplies you with electric po;vf?r at a price cheaper than any city could afford to supply jit to their consumers. This new and up-to-date plant is sold at a pfico within tho reach .of evorv Now Zealand fflrm-
