Striking Testimony TO THE VALUE OP THE ALL BRITISH CARS. WE are in receipt of a Copy of the following Letter from the AUTOMOBILE CLUB of Great Britain and Ireland, to the STAR ENGINEERING CO. (the ■ manufacturers of Star Cars, known in New, Zealand as the STUARI). The following Letter bears a striking testimony to the Workmanship and Material put into these famous Cars. . Every part is made of High-grade Material, and the Machine is designed on good engineering principles and! meant for service, as in all good British Machinery. This is the second Car of the same make supplied to the Club (the controlling body of automobilism in Great Britain)", the former being a 7/9 horse power supplied in June, 1902, arid which gave such good results. ■ ■ THE ROYAL AUTOMOBILE CLUB, 119 Piccadilly, London, W. IHE " STAR ' MOTOR AGENCY, ' 16, Upr. St, Martin's' Lane, W.C. Dear 'Sir, —As requested hi yours of the 27th March, I have pleasure in giving you; the following particulars regarding the 14 h.p. Star Car purchased by the Club inJanuary, 1906. The Car was delivered in February, 1906,, and was at once put into use for the pur-; pose for which it was purchased, namely,: that of teaching Members of the Club andMembers' servants the art of driving. The Log Book shows that the Car has; now run over 10,000, miles, number of les-;; sons given 552. Number of candidates ex-, amined in connection with the Club's Cer-; tiiicates Department, 318. The cost of repairs and replacements; to the mechanical portion of the car for thirteen months has been nil. * At the eiid of this time it; was deemed; desirable to dismantle the Car to asceiv. tain the amount of wear on "the mechanical; parts, and I am pleased to inform you that; die Club have every reason to be satisfied; with the result of this examination. The gears show only the.slightest wear, and the ball bearings to same are. perfect. Regarding the Engine, only one of the : big brasses want attention, the gudgeon pins being The valves and springs are the original ones supplied with the Car, and are in excellent condition. "The chains and chain wheels are also in excellent order, and' apparently fit for a lot of work yet. > . The clutch leather is still in good order. Yours faithfully, (Signed) J.: W. ODE, Secretary. IF A STUART IS GOOD ENOUGH for this great Club, it is good enough for-you. You- must bear in mind that learners take more out of a car in a few hours than professionals do in a, good many months.

Why should we buy Butter from the South Ganterbuiy Dairy Company, and have to charge the public exorbitant prices while we can g:t the same Best Factory Butter direct from the North Island weekly, thus saving all tlu;?.? intermediate expenses? FURTHER EXPENSES. , The South Canterbury Dairy Company have to mill it ov-ar again, put into printed wrappers, pay a carter 20s .per week, and one halfpenny per lb to deliver same. WHERE DO WE SHAREHOLDERS COME IN ?
