The Dominion Motor Vehicles, Limited, 65 Courteiyy Place. Advt. A NEW ZEALAND ENGINEER'S PBIVATE OPINION OP THE STUDEKAKEK. „ „ . T"e Tourist Motor Co., Hastings, knowing that wo are closely interested in Studobaker motors, have forwarded to us a copy nf a Tcngtliy business letter sent them by Mr. Allah H. Jl'Lean, the encineer of their firm, who is at present in Detroit, investigating the claims of the lOlti models of the great American automobile manufacturers. The Tourist Motor Co. have very courteously given us permission to publish extracts iroin the fetter, and we extract the following paragraph as likely to interest owners and prospective owners of Studebaker canity holiest opinion about the Studebaker car is that it is the best value for money on Hie American market, and as far ob hnis<i and workmanship are concerned it is second to none. I consider that we would M foolish to take up the agency for any higher priced car that is^ built here, because if we repaint the Studotjaker and equip it with wire wheels it would bo equal to tlio Minerva in appearanco and quietness of running. The engine is the cleanest designed one that I havo inspected."' It may be explained that Mr. M'Lcan's mission to America

was to secure the agency of a high-prcwd American car to take the placo of the firm's Silent Knight Minerva agency. There is a good market in Tlawke's Bay for the very best car obtainable, regardless of price. Mr. M'Lcan's honest opinion regarding the Stmlebaker is that there is no American car 011 the market better than the Stndebaker at any/ price. Tho hve-seater touring Stndebaker (1-cylindcr, S3 h.p.), with olccli-ic self-starter and electric lights, sells in New Zealand for i' 345, the tnree-seater Studcbakcr, with same eauipmcnt, being priced at .£335.
