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 Xiis impressions and the result of his invests gations in a letter to us, from which the following is an extract:—"l have examined practically all the leading' American cars, my intention being to secure tho agency for a high-priced automobile. But after seeing the new Stnde* baker motors being manufactured, riding in one of them, and thoroughly investigating them, I consider it a wasted of time to look for something better, which cannot be found. . . . Tho ne\7 Studebaker engine is the cleanest motor manufactured in America. Its power is a revelation, and tho material is second to none. For qoietness it is equal to the Silent Knight Minerva. All the improvements, without exception, which' were considered necessary from our previous exDcrience. havo been incorporatedin this new Studebaker, and I could not find a single detail that I could suggest as an improvement. . . . The starter and lighting equipment is, in my estimation, tho simplest and most reliable made. . . . The bodywork this .year is excellent, and tho cabrotolefc owl limousine are magnificent pieces of work, equal in finish and appearance to any of the Minerva cars that we have imported." We need only add that tho price of the 1916 Studebaker 4-cylinder touring car is and of the 4-rjlinder 3-scatcr roadster, .£335. Adams, Ltd., N.Z.
