Ever sinca petrol-propelled vehicles began to be imported Into New Zealand there has been a deeply shrouded mystery as to the basis upon which the prices of Motor Cars were fixed for selling in the Dominion. The purchaser has been left In pleasing Ignorance as to whether the Importers with whom he dealt charged him 10, 20, SO or 100 per cent, advance upon the price at the place of manufacture. This chaotic condition of affairs has been good for the importer, but the reverse so far as the public and the manufacturer are concerned. High prices mean a restricted output, and uncertain prices mean lack of confidence on the part of the buyer. Clement-Talbot, Ltd., the makers of tho world-famous Talbot Car, hava realised this fact very plainly, and they have taken, the drastic step of Informing their. Mew Zealand agents, Adams Ltd., that in future all cars sold by them must be sold at the English catalogued price, 'plus only the landing charges. Now this means, among other things, a big cut in prices. It also means that In future the man who buys a Talbot will know that he Is buying on the lowest possible basis. If he bought the car for himself In London he would pay no less. Henceforth Adams Ltd. must use the English catalogue, with the ENCLISH PRICES. And just grasp what those prices are. The enormously popular 12-2S h.p. TALBOT is listed In England at £385, and the powerful and luxurious 15-35 h.p. model sells In England for £470. The New Zealand burey now stands in line with the buyer In London, and the reign of fancy and uncertain prices has ended for ever. ADAMS LIMITED. SOLE NEW ZEALAND ACENT6, STAFFORD STREET.
