KEROSENE FOR MOTOR WAGONS. The price of Benzine is Is. Bd. per gallon, anil it is still rising. Tho prico of Koroseno at lOd. per gallon, never fluctuates, yet Kerosene, at half tho price, will yield the same power per gallon, if properly vapourised, as Benzine. That is wliy the Thornycroft Motor Wagon stands pro-eminent for economy. No firm who aro considering tho Motor haulago question can afford to neglect tho important fact that the Benzine-driven Wagon will cost twico as much in running expanses nis tho Tliornycroft 011 Kerosene. Tho Thornycroft Patent Vcipouriser is tho only method by which Keroseno can bo successfully utilised for Motor power on Commercial Vehicles. Tho Thornycroft Company hnvo usedthi9 Vapouriser successfully 6ince 1901, and in its present form it is practically perfect. The strenuous test to which the 30 h.p. Thornoroft Wagon was put tho other day in Wellington proves its efficiency in carrying heavy loads on steep grades. Ruben's Avenue, with « grade of one in tlireo and a half, was easily surmounted by this Wagon, carrying a load of two and a quarter tons; ISO-test Kerosene only was used in this trial. The same Wagon has gone to Pongaroa lo bo used for carting heavy metal on rough up-country roads. After exhaustive trials, the Wellington Moat Export Company havo just purchased threo Thornycroft Wagons of u0 h.p. each. Tho Sole Agents for tho Thornycroft in Now /calami are Messrs. A. ITatrick and Co., Ltd., Wakefield Street, Wellington,— Adit.
