NEW ZEALAND ENGINEER'S PRIw VA'l'E OPINION OF THE STUD& 13A KEll. TiTe Tourist Motor Co., Hastings, knowing that we ate closely interested in Studebaker motors, have forwarded to us a copy nf a lengthy business letter sent them by Mr. Allan 11. M'Lean, the en. gineer of their firm, who is at present in Detroit, investigating the clninls of tbo 16IS models of the great' American automobile manufacturers. , The Tourist Motor Co. have very Courteously given ua permission to publish extracts irom the letter, and we extract the following paragraph as likely to 'interest owners and prospective ottliers of Studebaker cars:— "My honest opinion about the Studebaker car is that it is tho best value for money on tlie American market, and as far as ami workmanship are concerned it is second to none. I consider that we would be foolish to take up the agency for any higher priced cor that is built liefe, because if we repaint the Studei i>aker and equip it with wire wheels it would bo equal to the Minerva in appoarr ancc and quietness of running. The en* gino is the cleanest designed one that J have inspected." It may bo explained that Mr. M'Lcan's mission to Americi was to secure the agency of a high-priced American car to take the place of tin firm's Silent Knight Minerva agency There is a good market in Uawkc's Baj for tho very best car obtainable,' regard less of price, Mr. M'Lean's honest opin. ion regarding the Studebaker is that ther< is no American ear on the market bettei than the Studebaker at any price.
