HOW THE HUMBER POLICY SUCCEEDED. The groat English firm of Hurabors Ltd. some months ago inaugurated v policy which was a radical departure from .the usual methods of British motor-car manufacturers. Realising that a reduction in prices would moan, a reduced working cost and an increased demand for their cars, .they reorganised their big factories, placed in charge of them Mr. Burford, lately with the Mercedes Company, and one of the beet designers in the world, and produced a car which can be confidently said to bo unequalled at the price by any other manufacturer. The result has been that the demand for Humbor cars has exceeded .the supply and for some time we have been unable to fill our orders. However, we have again received & sampJo of the very latest model 1912 Plumber, and it explains for itself tho reason for Humbcr popularity. It is a 12-20 h.p. four cyclinder, five seater with a beautifully designed flush sided torpedo body. It is fitted with detachable and inter-changeable wire wheels with a spare wheel and tyre, so that a puncture can be 'remedied in two m three minutes. The English price of this car is £345 and we charge this price plus actual importing charges. For further particulars, inspection and demon stratdon, apply to Adams Ltd., Tho Avenue, Wamganui. Sy/up of White Pino and Tar 1b fid and 2s' 6d; diamond shape bottles \ genuine. At Grower's Pharmacy.
