MOTOR DISPLAYS

NEWTON KING, LTD., EXHIBIT. ' DODGE BROTHERS. The exhibit of Messrs. Newton King, Ltd., includes the very handsome new models recently announced by Dodge Brothers—the New Six of amazingly low price and the New Eight-in-Line of sensational value. This new eight is of approved efficient straight-in-line type, and develops 76 brake horse-power. To remove "the last vestige of possible vibration, live rubber mountings are used at the rear points of the engine suspension, and it is undoubtedly one of the smoothest cars to drive regardless of the price. All the very latest improvements have been incorporated in its finish, which include down-draft carburetter, aluminium alloy, steel-strut pistons, positive fuel pump, hot-spot heat controls, crank case ventilation and rubber bushing Silentbloc spring shackles. The ■ New Six Dodge models unquestionably are cars with individuality expressed in every line and command attention wherever seen. The sturdy engine, massive chassis and careful construction make these' cars of great strength and power. The engine, which develops 61 horse-power, is cushionmounted in the rear with live rubber, which reduces all vibration. Four-wheel hydraulic brakes, the safest in the world, are included in this New Six, and, as with the Eight-in-Line, monopiece steel body, of which Dodge Brothers hold the exclusive rights, is included in its construction. This recent remarkable advancement in construction in which the chassis and body are built at one unit entirely eliminates all rattle and body squeaks, and is the last word in motoring safety and riding comfort.

MORRIS PARS. Owing to the lack of space, Messrs. Newton King, Ltd., are unable to display their full range of models of Morris cars. In the Morris Oxford saloon, shown on the stand, one sees a car entirely new in conception and design which fills the exacting modern need for automobile excellence to a most satisfying degree. This striking Six Saloon reveals an ensemble of beautiful English coach-craft and tasteful interior finish.

Included in the many new features incorporated in its design is the sliding roof, which is opened and shut at will by the one-hand adjusting device. Chromium plating and Triplex safetyglass are now standardised on all Morris models, and, above all, there has been a rigid maintenance of that inbuilt soundness of material construction that has made and will continue to make Morris cars world-famed for reliability of utmost value for money.

STRATFORD CAR LODGE

CHRYSLER, DE SOTO, PLYMOUTH.

Sleek lines, quiet and powerful engines, comfortable body work and highclass finish combined .with inbred quality are the features that have always distinguished the products of the Chrysler Motor Company. Examples of the&i products are displayed upon the stand of the Stratford Car Lodge, which represents Todd Motors, Stratford, and is agent for Chrysler, De Soto and Plymouth cars as well as Fargo tracks. On display at the stand is. the Chrysler 66 Royal sedan, equipped with wire wheels that further enhance the appearance of this fine model. Then comes the De Soto de Luxe sedan, which proudly lays claim to being the best value for money in New Zealand to-day, for the equipment is lavish. Add to those qualities a silken smooth engine and there is an ensemble that will emerge with honours after the most searching criticism. Also there U the De Soto roadster, combining the high speed attributes of the sports model with the docility of the town carriage. Both De' Soto models are very economical to run and no one buying in the light six class will make any mistake with this make. For the family man requiring a fullsized economy car at a low price the Plymouth is an outstanding proposidion. The model on display is a sedan possessing high quality features such as hydraulic four-wheel brakes and rubber cushioned engine. Prospective car buyers should, inspect the Chrysler range before buying, and the proprietor of the Lodge, Mr. V. R. Gravestock, will find it a pleasure to demonstrate on. the road after r.lie show or to explain the salient features of any of the- models at the show.

APPLICATOR OF ELECTRICITY

USES FOR HEATING AND COOKING. .

TARANAKI POWER BOARD STAND.

As tho electric power supply authority for Central Taranaki, the Taranaki Electric Power Board carries a stock of appliances which utilise the cleanest and most efficient power and heating medium of the present day. To give prominence to the range of stock that it carries the board has a stand at the Stratford winter show. Occupying a commanding position, the display exhibited by the board, working in co-opera-tion with the Stratford Borough Council, is one to attract the instant attention of business men or housewives prospective and actual. The manner in which electrical appliances eliminate muck of the drudgery of kitchen work is clearly defined on the stand. The chief exhibit is the section devoted to Moffat ranges in which is included a number of ranges from the smallest size to that size which is most popular for use in the average home. Besides the ranges on display tlje Power Board haa comprehensive stocks of the larger ranges suitable for both domestic and business purposes and full particulars regarding these may be had upon application to the stand attendants.

Of particular interest to these who reside in flats or rented rooms is the smallest stove on display, for it plugs in to any available plug and doe.s not need special wiring. Electric stovefi are renowned for their cleanliness and efficiency, In support of that claim a range on the stand has been wired and Mrs. E. Barrington, Turnbull and Jones, Wellington, importers, of Moffat ranges, utilises the stove for cooking purposes during each day of the show. Last thing at night the various foodstuffs which she cooks may be purchased by the public. Anyone who is interested may procure from Mrs. Barrington the

fullest particulars regarding the ranges and the way in which the best results may be obtained from them.

Also exhibited on the stand is a selection of radiators, electric jugs and kettles of the highest quality, all admirably suited to the purpose for which they are intended. Among these the imitation coal fire radiators on their appearance alone give an impression of warmth and comfort—an impression that is borne out by the highly efficient performance of these electric fires. With the object of still further encouraging cooking by electricity the board has adopted a plan whereby electric cooking stoves may be purchased on exceptionally easy terms. Under this plan payment is extended over five years and the monthly payments covering principal and interest are therefore within the reach of everyone. For the popular three-ring and oven stove selling at £25, the payment is 10s per month, for the four-ring and oven stove at £2B 10s the payment is Ils per month. The cost of installation of the stove, usually about £7 or £B, is not covered by the above plan, and arrangements should be made with an electrical contractor for the carrying out of the work. In response to a ring to 263 Eltham or 2205 Stratford an officer of the' board will call on a prospective purchaser and give any further details that might be required. ,

THE FARMERS’ CO-OP.

COMPREHENSIVE DISPLAY. Thu firm’s exhibit comprises a comprehensive display of the main lines handled by the merchandise department. The collection of roots and chou moellier—all grown from seed sold by the Farmers’ Co-op., shows evidence of firstclass quality. Among the samples of grass seeds Government certified Hawke’s Bay old pasture ryegrass holds pride of place; For the destruction of ragwort and other weeds sodium chlorate accompannied by the necessary sprayers is displayed. In shearing machinery the world renowned “Wolseley” must be given pride of place. The electric drive for -shearing machines has been a study of the Wolseley for very many years; in fact can claim to be also the pioneers of this drive, for as far back as the ’nineties in the last century shearing machines were driven with a “Wolseley” square electric motor, some of which are still in use in New Zealand. A working model skeleton engine always attracts attention,

That farmers’ friend in dry weather —the combined electric motor and water pump fitted to a concrete drinking trough —is worthy of more than passing interest. The solid construction combined with simple operation stamps the outfit as. one far and away ahead of its competitors. One comes next to the line of machines marketed by the International Harvester Company of New Zealand, for whom the Farmers’ Co-op. are sole Taranaki agents. For fertiliser distributors the McCormick-Deering is recognised as the very beM that can to-day bo bought. It is of the very latest design and embodies features not found on another machine. It will distribute evenly all kinds of manures in quantities of 10 pounds to 2350 pounds per acre. The sowing rate is instantly adjustable without stopping the machine while the force feed insures positive distribution even when the fertiliser is damp. An important point is the case ot cleaning, which operation may be performed in ten minutes.

A milking machine which has no peer to-day is the McCormick-Deering. Embodying all the sanitary features recommended by the Dairy Division its quality is of the highest. Farmers are specially welcome- to inspect the plant, which will be working right throughout the show.

CORBAN’S QUALITY WINES

IMPORTANT DOMINION INDUSTRY.

Corban’s wines again occupy a prominent position at the show, and the display is. of a- most attractive nature. Just one.sample, is sufficient to convince the most fastidious connoisseur that there is no need to send money but of New Zealand to please the palate. Only the best- grapes grown at Gorban’s Mt. Lebanon vineyards are used in making these famous vintages, and it is only by adhering strictly to this principle during the 30 years they have been in the wine business that Gorban’s have built up an enviable reputation for wines that are esteemed all over New Zealand for their mellowness and general excellence. Corban’s wines, too, are renowned for their health-giving, strengthening qualities and may be partaken _with a satisfying assurance. As the firm’s exhibit illustrates, all kinds of wines are made, including invalid s port and sherry, which have been supplied to the Auckland and other hospitals for the past 18 years. In -view o" this unprecedented distinction, tiie report of a public analyst of Auckland declaring these wines to be all first-class wines, pure, well matured, free from harmful substances, of excellent quality and flavour, and particularly suitable for invalid uses, makes interesting reading, When one learns that Gorban's operate at Henderson the largest vineyards in New Zealand it is readily understood that there is in our midst a most important industry, By supporting this industry the whole of the money spent remains in the Dominion and helps to provide employment for others—for Gorban’s wines are' 100 per cent. New Zealand-made. As a guarantee of worth, quality and distinction, Corban’s wines, in open competition at the New Zealand and South Seas Exhibition in 1925-26, and judged in Adelaide, South Australia, were awarded first and second oiueis of merit, as well as the only gold medal awarded to a New Zealand firm in the contest. Corban’s do not sacrifice quality to give a cheap and doubtful product—their reputation is too highly prized to depart from the practices handed down througn the family for hundreds of years. Corban’s New Zealand wine shop, 20 Union Street, Hawera, carries full stocks of ports, sherries, m.adeira, claret, communion and altar wines, and all orders receive prompt attention. During show week visitors are cordially invited to sample these vintages. Orders will be at the show or may bo left at the shop, and quotations for bulk quantities will be supplied on request. Buy .Corban’s wines and keep the tuonpy in New Zealand.
