ENGLISH CARS OF GRACE AND DIGNITY. The Rover coach-built saloon is not surpassed as regards appearance or comfort by any saloon car on the road to-day. There is a gratifying air of , luxury about it that appeals to the ( car-lover. Irritating noises are com- ( pletely eliminated by the great care taken in its construction. The windows in all four doors can be raised and lowered with the greatest ease, and the seating is arranged to afford miximum riding comfort, the utmost attention being given to setting the seating angles to give the greatest riding ease. Artillery wheels are fitted to the standard models, but wire wheels are supplied with the “Regal” model. Weyman Standard Saloon.—The Weyman system of body construction consists of building a flexible framework and covering it with a durable waterproof fabric. Its advantages are that it enables a saloon body to be made lighter in weight than metalpanelled coachwork, without the possibility of body noise developing. In the body * framing no two frame members touch each other. All the joints are made by strong steel plates securely bolted to each member. These plates enforce an air space between them, so that the frame members may flex but not rub, hence the impossibility of creaks developing. This principle, be it noted, is exclusive to genuine Weyman bodies, such as are fitted to Weyman cars. The covering of the body is of special fabric stretched tightly over the framework. It is capable of resisting the most vigorous wear and tear, and is very easily cleaned, as it needs no polishing like ordinary coachwork, and cannot be scratched no matter if dry cleaned. The Weyman Standard Saloon is upholstered in high grade carriage cloth, comfortable and extremely durable. It is fitted with artillery wheels, and may be obtained in blue, brown, red or black colourings, according to desire. The Sports Coupe has an exceedingly attractive and most convenient body of the very latest design. It accommodates four or five passengers comfortably. At the rear of the body is a large truck fitted with two suitcases of really sensible size, thus guaranteeing that luggage will be kept clean and dry under lock and key, when on the car. The two doors are 40 inches wide, and allow direct access to rear as well as front seats. On the driver’s side a quick lift is provided for the window to facilitate signalling. The single pane windscreen can be opened out to practically horizontal position, and can be locked firmly at any angle. The car has an air of luxury which makes it obvious that it has been built regardless of cost. Evidence of this is found in the polished walnut decorations and expensive interior furnishings. The sportsman’s coupe is a wonderful proposition at its moderate price. The body and frame-work of all Rovers leave nothing to be desired, and on inspection it will be found that the chassis and engine are of the same high standard. The chassis is extremely strong, yet of simple design. It has the sturdy cross bracings which prevent body distortion, and a special method of mounting the facia board with instruments as part of the chassis instead of on the body. Rover manufacturers stand at the back of their productions, guaranteeing that all reasonable precautions have been taken r to procure excellence of material and workmanship, and they undertake during a period of two years to replace any part which may have proved defective. The person who is thinking of buying a motor should make a point of inspecting the “Rover.” It is a splendid production—an economical car in first cost and running expense; and it is British.

HOME-BUILDING UP-TO-DATE. JOHN JACKSON AND CO.. LTD. The enterprising firm of John Jackson and Co., Ltd., make it a feature of their business to keep up-to-date and abreast of the times so far as the building trade is concerned. At their stand at the Show yesterday they had a very striking display of “konka,” which has so revolutionised the building of the “home beautiful.” Konka, since its introduction to the South Canterbury public some seven years ago, has gradually worked its way into the forefront of building materials, so much so. that anyone contemplating the erection of a building, would be consulting their best interests at the outset by inquiring into the merits of konka. Messrs J. Jackson and Co., are the sole manufacturers of konka in this district, and their output has so won its way to recognition that during the short duration of the agency they have sold no fewer than twenty thousand sheets For inside work, there was shown a quantity of Maxwell plaster board. This article is truly called the “king” of plaster boards, and as evidence of its claim to superiority it is notea that the Government, vhich does so much building, after trying various makes of plaster board, has reverted to the use of Maxwell board. Included in the exhibit were several useful adjuncts of the farm, notably Southland beech hurdles of all sizes* sheep feeders, all kinds of ply-wood, extension ladders, the combination bandy ladder, swingle-trees, shafts, skis etc., making on the whole a very striking and useful display.

GOLDEN APPLE CIDER COMPANY. Of universal interest is the very fine display of Golden Apple Champagne Cider, which by the average taster would be described as a healthy refreshing beverage. This product is made from the best Canterbury apples under the most hygienic conditions. The particular value in cider has been attached to the general belief in the wholesome qualities of the apple as a fruit. As a gentle stimulant cider possesses no equal. Having done its duty in promoting the digestion, it leaves no unpleasant reminder, and no undue exhilaration to be followed by subsequent depression. The juice forming 95 per cent of the apple is the energising secret contained therein. And in converting the juice into cider no change is made in the essential health-giving qualities. The “Golden Apple” Cider Company has been producing “Golden Apple” Champagne Cider for over 36 years, and during that period no stone has been left unturned to maintain its high standard. No preservatives of any kind are used in the manufacture, and it is this fact which makes “Golden Apple” of the highest value when used for ordinary consumption, and still more so when it is taken as a curative agent. “Golden Apple” Champagne Cider is sold at a very moderate price —Pint bottles 13/6 dozen, quart bottles a dozen. —According to law, two dozen pints or one dozen quarts is the minimum quantity supplied. A booklet (poet free), can be obtained from the agsiits, Messrs R. Wilson and Co., Ltcl., c.C th: story of “Golden Apple for 1 Health,” “How Golden Apple is 1 Made,” “The Longevity of Cider Drinkers.” “Gout and Cider,” and also ' special recipes for making “Golden | Apple” Cider Cup in various ways; beverages with a distinct after-taste of refreshment.
