NEW SINGER NINE

A STURDY BRITISH CAR The new Singer Nine is as sturdy a car as was ever manufactured in Britain and the 1934 model on display at the show substantiates its claim to new features which entirely change the conception of motoring. The Singer Nine is really a big car in miniature, complete with free-wheeling, four-speed gear-box, Lockheed hydraulic brakes, real low pressure tyres, footstarter switch acting in conjunction with accelerator, sliding roof and a hundred and one other details which all go to make for trouble-free and effortless motoring. Roominess in both the rear and front seats is a feature which immediately strikes the eye. This has been -made possible by the redesigning and streamlining of the body. In performance the Singer has many victories to its credit. Recent results show that last year in the important English trials there were 299 entries of Singers, which carried off 259 awards, a performance unequalled by any other light car. Singer also carried off all classes in the light car section of the recent Canterbury (>N.Z.) hill climb. Never before, in the history of any rally or controlled trial, has any make of car scored the successes that Singer cars did in the March, 1934, R.A.C. Rally. So consistent were their performances that before the close of the event it was referred to as the “Singer” rally. In-its finish and equipment the Singer Nine gives a strong impression of incorporating throughout bigger car practice and it is difficult to think of any important item that has been omitted. The Taranaki agents, Messrs. Criterion Motors, Ltd., will be in attendance at the show and will gladly explain and demonstrate this complete and economical car to any who are interested. SEEDS & FERTILISERS DISPLAY OF NEWTON KING LTD. A display that has been a source of interest at the Winter Show for many years is the seed and fertiliser exhibit of Messrs. Newton King Ltd. In these times it is necessary for farmers to obtain the greatest possible' return from their pastures and to do this they must use fertilisers suitable to their land and seeds of high germination. Farmers throughout the province are no doubt aware of the care taken by Newton King Ltd. to provide only the best seeds and fertilisers obtainable to meet the requirements of the Taranaki farmers. Their display at the show is of undoubted merit, the many varieties of seeds, fertilisers, grains, dips, etc., giving some idea of the number of lines stocked by this progressive firm. To be successful in obtaining permanent pastures the seeds must be of the highest possible standard of purity and germination, and Newton King Ltd., believing that the best is the cheapest aim to provide for their clients only those seeds of the highest possible standard. Without high quality seeds success is often nullified, resulting in loss of time and money to farmers. For over half a century this firm has been in touch with Taranaki settlers, and during this time it has been adding to its experience in order that it may render increasingly better service. During these years it has realised the varying conditions in the different districts, and it has been its endeavour to produce seeds and fertilisers to meet the requirements of the farmers of the province.

“Sterling manure” has become almost a household word among farmers, who have learned by experience the wisdom of relying upon a proven product. To keep pastures in good condition throughout the year top-dressing is essential, and in their Sterling grass manure Newton King Ltd. have a complete fertiliser which, in combination with high quality Sterling seeds will be found to give excellent results. L.K.G. MILKERS MANY NEW FEATURES The L.K.G. Milking Plant, widely known the .length and breadth of New Zealand, is once again brought to the fore by Messrs. J. B. Mac Ewan and Go. Ltd. at their display at the Winter Show. Each season there are progressive improvements incorporated in the plant and this season is no exception. L.K.G. introduces five major improvements for 1934. Here they are: (1) A new pulsator which never needs oiling, guaranteed to give correct pulsation without attention. It won’t wear out and it won’t go wrong. (2) A specially designed releaser and discharge tank of increased capacity that prevents milk getting back. (3) A new L.K.G. claw superseding the old insanitary tubular one, easily taken apart for cleaning. (4) A Klearsite milk detector which enables you to see when a cow is milked out and to detect bad quarters and poor milking. (5) Provision for expansion and contraction during sterilisation, thus assuring no broken or distorted joints. Only the L.K.G. has all these features. The new plant milks faster and more thoroughly; it is simple in design and remarkably easy to clean; it is economical to run and costs little for upkeep. Come to the show and study these advantages. They’re new and revolutionary and important to every Taranaki dairy farmer. CAR TRANSFORMATION SIDNEY LAWSON’S EXHIBIT With rich maroon bodywork relieved with beautiful cerise bands picked out in fine gold lines, black top and guards and contrasting wheels in bright cerise, a re-ducoed car shows to advantage just what can be done by painting and duco-ing experts. When Sydney Lawson undertakes the reconditioning of a car he applies the whole of his 23 years’ experience. The car is thoroughly washed, stripped bare to the metal, and electrically sandpapered to ensure every part being free from rust. All dents and marks are removed ajid after suitable base priming and lacquer priming several coats of duco are applied to ensure perfect protection of the metal. A typical result is the car at the show and those who remember it before it was repainted will admit tha' it reflects skill and great credit to the firm.
