MORE LAURELS FOR THE THORNYCROFT MOTOR WAGON. Exhaustive tests in hill climbing and for general utility with heavy loads upon rough roads, have so proved the superiority of the Thornycroft Motor > Wagon, as to induce the AVellirgton Meat Export Company to purchase three of them< The three wagoDS ordered are all 30 h.p. and will bo used for heavy carrying work. It will be readily understood that during the summer months prompt and speedy carrying is particularly sary 'in the meat business, and the fact that the Thornycroft has been selected for tTiis work is powerful evidence of its reliability and general superiority for quick •delivery work. Another Thornycroft for Mr. James Martin has been built with a tipping wagon, and has gone up to Pongaroa to be used for carrying metal. Many of the largo commercial organisations of New Zealand are users of the Thornycroft, particularly where heavy work on country roads is required. Amongst these, the Hawke's Bay Farmers, of Napier, and the Dairy Milk Delivery Co., pf Aucklaud, are owners of Thornycroft Motor AVagons. Two Mail Contractors of AVanganui use them, and amongst municipal bodies this Motor has found great favour for Firo Brigade work, which is eurolv a severe, test of tho Motor's "ever-readiness" and dependability. Thornycrotfs are used by the Fire Brigades in Christchurch, Auckland, Wellington, and Invercargill, in New Zealand; and Adelaide and Melbourne, in Australia. Possibly the strongest testimonial for Thornycroft efficiency that o business man could ask for is tho fact that Pickford's. of London, tho largest carrying firm in the world, use a fleet of twenty-six Thorn-ycrofts in their uelivery sorvice.
