He has chosen a " Swift" as his racing mount for next season and is confident of his ability to lower all Australasian track records on this grand, little mount. AH this of course brings Us to the fact that the reduction palo of "Swifts" is still continuing. The "Royal Superb" models hav«> been reduced in price from £20 to £15, and bliore are corresponding reductions in other models. A speciality is the "Ro.ywJ Superb" featherweight roadster finished in royal blue, quite tho daintiest and easy-running roadster ever seen in New Zealand.
