APPEAL TO MOTORISTS

TRANSPORTATION COURT

HIGHLIGHT OF EXHIBITION | Among the many industrial attrac- • tions at the Centennial Exhibition, • there is none that is more filled with • interest, both for the general public j and the more mechanically minded, 1 than the Transportation Court. Here j the motor traders to New Zealand | have excelled themselves in designing a series of displays which would ■ bear comparison with the famous \ motor shows of Britain and the Continent. This show is by no means limited to a display of motor cars. There are many working exhibits depicting practically every phase of motor car j manufacture. It appears that there j has been a real effort to enlighten the public on what makes things go in the 1939 motor vehicles.

One of the highlights of the court is the large exhibit by the Dominion Motors, Limited. The first novelty is that the display is made in a sunken court. Here, in a colour scheme of cream and scarlet, you see a display that runs the whole gamut of modern transportation. Prominently featured are a select series of British motor cars, young and virile in styling and expressing all that is best in the tradition of British engineering. Gleaming like jewels under the same brilliant lights are the masterpieces of American industry, big and streamlined to express the high point of luxury in motor car design. Lower down are the commercial vehicles and finally a largf display of tractors which are visual proof of the

modernity, convenience find work capacity that modem engineering has brought to farm tractor design.
