M'Lean, chief engineer and a director of the Tourist Motor-Company, Hawke's Bay, agents for some years past for Silent Knight Minerva and Studebaker motors, recently went to America with the intention of securing the agency of one of the real top-notch American cars, whatever the price. He gives his impressions and the result of his investigations in a letter to us, 'from which' tho following is® an extract:—"X have examined practically nil the leading American cars, my - intention being, to secure the agency for a high-priced automobile. But after seeing the new Studebakef motors' being manufactured, riding in. one of them, and thoroughly investigating them, X consider it a waste of time to look for something better which canuot be found. . • ■ The new Stuilcbaker engine is the cleanest motor manufactured in America. Its power is a revelation, and the material is second to none. For quietness it is equal to the Silent- Knight Minerva. All the iin- ■ provements, without exception, which were considered necessary from onr previous experience, have been incorporated in this new Studebakor, and I could not find a single detail that I could suggest as an improvement. . . . Tha starter aud:lighting equipment is, in my estimation, the simplest and most reliable. made. ... The bodywork this' year 1 is excellent, and the cabrotolet and limousine are magnificent pieces of work, equal in finish and appearance to any of tho Minerva cars that we have 'imported." We need only add that the price of the 191G Studebaker 4-cylinder touring car is JJJIS, and of the 4-ejlindor 3-.? pater roadster, ,£335. Adams. Ltd., N.Z.
