A well known Wairarappa squatter, who has had a great amount of experience with many different makes of motorcars, and who has. now, been using a .Darracq constantly for tlie past two years, writes-. " There is no doubt whatever that the Darracq is the most suitable for our New Zealand rough and hilly roals, and I have no'cause for complaint; 1 never fnil'to reach home when f wend on a long tour." As a lot of probable m«".tor car buyers are afraid of,tlie upkeep they would do well by calling at the Garage* of Messrs Skeates and Bockaert where they can get full particulars of tlie new arrangeriient which this firm has made, and that- is to give a guarantee for the. upkeep per year, for every car which they sell; this guarantee includes storage, oil. cleaning, tyres, and in fact everything except petrol. Tlie reason why "this firm can guarantee the upkeep is "that by the past seven years experience they have found that the Darracq and Dedion cars are by far the cheapest on the market," as regards upkeep. When one thinks that Darracqs triumph, in-turn, in speed races pure arid simple, where thev have many a time brought off splendid victories in reliability trial.**, and in tests of petrol competition, it is a clear proof of the multiple qualities of the ideal car, which has passed its tests in all tournaments open to the motor industry throughout the world. ...
