■ Balmoral Castle was erected from de> signs made by. tho Prince Consort. I a WT?\V 7iE\LAND ENGINEER'S PRI--1 YaV OPINION OF THE \ STUDSBAKER. „ tt i- i Tne Tourist Motor Co., Hastings, knowIne that we nra closely interested m Studobaker motors, have forwarded to us a wpy of » lengthy business letter sent them by Mr. Allah 11, M'Lean, the enRineer of their firm, wno is at present in Detroit, investigating the claims of the 1916 models of the great American au o. mobile manufacturers. Tno lourist Motor Co. have very courteously given ua oeriuission to - publish extracts from the fetter, and we extract the following paragraph as likely to interest owners and m-ospeotive owners of Studebaker cars Sh v liouest opinion about the Studebaker car is that it is the best value for money on tHo American* market, aud as far as tinfcSi and workmanship are concerned it is second to none. I that we would be foolish to. take up the. agency for any higher priced car that is built here, because if we repaint the Studeoaker and equip it with wire wheels it would bo equal to the Minerva 11a appear, ance and quietness of lunmng. The en. »ine is the cleanest designed one that I fuivo inspected." It may be explained that Mr. M'Lean's mission to America was to secure the agency oE American car to take the place of tno firm's Silent Knight Minerva i agency. There is a good market in ltawkea bay for the very best car'obtainable, regardless of price. Mr. M'Lean s honest opin. ion regarding the Studebaker is that there is no American car 011 the market better than the Studebaker at any price.
