LIGHT CARS FOR IMMEDIATE DELIVERY.

Notwithstanding tho success which has attended tho introduction by us to the New Zealand market of the latest types of light car—Continental, British, and Amerioan—and the many sales made during the past few weeks, our stocks are large enough to enable - us to still offer fof immediate delivery a very complete rango of cars. In our Christchurch garage at present we are showing a superbly beautiful 3-seator IG-22 h.p. Silent Knight Minerva, a car which connoisseurs agreo is the most handsome in appearance and the most perfect in mcchnnism ever ill-ought to Canterbury. Despite its dignified luxury of equipment; its ample wheelbase and capacious body, the Minerva car is a genuine light-weight and economical on both the tyres and petrol. Those natty, dashing little British lightweights, the "Handsome Humbers," are represented by a very fine four-seater 11-15 h.p. car, finished with characteristic neatness and thoroughness. . Tho great French firm of Clement-Bayard, whose engineers are at present constructing airships for tho British War Office, are represented by a 10-1H h.p. chassis, to which a body can be built to order, and a threeseater (London-built body) on a similar chassis. Tho renowned American firm of Studobaker is represented by two-seater and four-seater Studabaker-Flanders cars of 20 h.p., and the five-scater ShulebakerE.M.F. of 30 h.p. Anyone who is dubious about the workmanship in these powerful and popular American cars will have his doubts banished by nn inspection at our Christchurch garago of tho sectional E.M.F. chassis, which wo have on view in the garage for educational purposes. All these cars are brand-new, latest models, and all are light-weipbts. All are there lo be sold. Adams, Ltd., Garage, Tunm Street, near High Street shop.
