WHAT A CHRISTCHTJItCH DENTIST SAYS ABOUT HIS STUDEBAKER. We liave made big claims for the Studebaker car on the score of its reliability, its simplicity, and the-.ease with which it can be driven. The following letter addressed to us by Mr. R. Cowper, surgeondentist, of this city, demonstrates the kind of service the Studebaker will give in the hands of an owner who has had comparatively little driving experience. Mr. Cowper purchased a Studebaker car from us on November 30th last, and his first lengthy tour was one in the North Island, during the recent Christmas and Kew Tear holidays. Concerning his experiences on that tour Mr. Cowper, writes:, "Just a few lines to 'tell you how thoroughly satisfied I am with my Studebaker car. As you know, I took it away with me to the North Island, r.rid went in all about 3200 miles, over all the big hills up in the north. Going from Wellington through to Napier over the Kimutakas. across to Palmerston, Wanganui, and New Plymouth, and back to Wellington over tho famous Paekakariki Hill, the car took all the big hills with tho greatest ease, and did not give, me the slightest anxiety. All that distance it was not touched by anyone save to give it netrol and oil, and wo did not wen havo to put wind into the tyres. You will be surprised to hear that I brought the car over the Zig-zag from Lyttclton to Sumner, which says something for the car and the way you taught me to drive." The Studebaker driven by Mr. Cowper was, of conrso, equipped with electric self-star-ter and electric lights. The new 1916 model Studebnkers will be to hand shortly, a first shipment being expected next week. The prices of the new models are: 2. r > h.p. five-seater (including electric selfstarter, electric lights, and full road equipment), ,£315; 25' h.p, three-seater 'same equipment). .£3.35. They ere even "lvtter than the 1915 model, which has rtiveu such magnificent satisfaction to all purchasers. Adorns, Ltd.. N.Z. Importers of Studelwker Motors, Christchurch, Mnierston North.
