J. BUCKRELL, -■ VICTORIA HOUSE, Victoria. Avenue, Wanqanoi. They're Coming. Wangamii, 12/1/90. MR D. DAVIES, Shi,— Unsulioited, I wish to writo btiefly iii appreciation of the " Columbia bhainl&ss.'' t(M nbfc assort ,that this machine is the Bnly gtfotj one' Jii tho market, but I think it inaj bo fairly Btated that while, in every particular, it, is at least equal to the very best, in several respects it is most distinctly superior to ov'Sry tithe'r iriincJiihS: I neod scarcely say that it runs Wjtli rQ'riiarJJablB 1 sitfodthness ana ease ; a minute's trial will cßnvlhfe'ti anyone on this score. I wish, lidwevol 1 ; to emphasise one or two speokl features of its excellence. 1 may say that I have just returned ;from a trip to Auckland via Taupo ana Rotoruu, ana back via Now Plymouth. On the roaa I intontionally gavo my " Chainless " a complete ana searching test. Ovor tho i'oughest of unformed roads, across frequent streams, up and down bad bills, through an occasional pUrtiice drift Or mtid patoh, wherever I could ride 1 roda without sparing the triacliine at all; 1 carried no oil with .trie j Others blaOkleadoa their ohains, oiled them, cleaned them, tightened them, slackennd them, I heard even of some who walking beside their machines carnea stioks to keep the chains clear of mud. ,My machine got one wipe 3own with a dry cloth at Wai-o-tapn ; with that exception tho frame was'nntoucbea. Yet it seems to run more smoothly since I returned than Before I stftrtea. Its motion is almost absolutely noiseless i it do«a no: aavertise froiri afar Its approach ! at top, speed the oiily sound a rider can hear is the low musical hum of well-oiled,' perfectly aajuatea machinery. In summing up ( 1 can only say that I consider the "Chainlesf " the ideal touring machine. The stook objection ngailnt it, aiid in fact th'l only objection that couia be wade without being instantly aisproved, Waa the assertion that it would not wear well, I do not Venture to aay that itty experience completely anawers this, but it clearly to some extont rebuts this argument, which, being b'accd on no known data, is at best mere conjocture Or prejuaice, t am, eto,i T. R. CuubsVellk P.S.— Since I returned I have had my machine taken to pieces and the gearing showß absolutely ho signs Of wear. i THE NATIONAL MUTUAL LIFE ASSOCIATION OF AUSTRALASIA 'Established I«G9.
