THE PASSING OF THE HEAVY CAE. It has always been our policy to handle only the very best and the very latest types of -.motor-car. "We have insisted on quality in our importations, and we have also kept abreast of tho requirements of our market. While, we are fully convinced of the many advantages inherent in the now system of light motor-car construction, wo would have hesitated to import light cars had we not been assured that the high quality, necessary in the heavy car, but doubly necessary in the light car, was obtainable. In presenting the products of such firms as Clement-Bayard, Humbers, Ltd., and Jlinerva, we know, and tho public know, that the quality of the cars is beyond question. As a typical example of the wonderful reduction in price, brought about by the popularity of the light car, -we may refer to the 11-15 h.p. two-seater Huinber. Finished in grey, with a beautifnl torpedo body, detachable wire wheels, ami all the 'latest donees to secure comfort and caso of control, tho car is quite the neatest and most workmanlike two-seater ever produced in England. It is the ideal car for the doctor, sportsman, or commercial man. Yet the English price is only .£270, complete with lamps, hood, and wind-shield. The same car, with a. four-seater body, sells in England for iC2SS. Then there is the dainty two-seater, torpedo-bodied, wire-wheole'd 8-12 h.p. Clement-Bayard, which sells in France at tho surprisingly low nrico of JMBG. We also stock the "10-15 h.p. now light Cloment-Uayard chassis, which, without; tyres, sells in France for J.'210. Wo can supply all parts for building bodies to order. To these prices wo add only the cost of importation. We have Fold the light 20 h.p.
