W. AND A. BATES, LTD., TYRE EXHIBIT.

STAXII .NO.-2(1. C-yolo and Motor Supplies, Ltd., Wellington, are displaying at Stand No. 20 the motor and c.yelo tyres and tyro accessories of W. and A. Bates, Ltd., of England. Tho exhibit, is of great, inferos I: to motorists and cyclists generally not only on. account of tho evident excellence of tho various lines of lyres and tubes, but also because of Iho troubleFaring appliances, to .ill lyro users (hat aro being shown. Although ono of tho oldest rubber manufacturers in tho world. W. and A. Bates, Ltd., aro undoubtedly ono of the most progressive. They are not fainted with the. British conservatism displayed by many old-established, and successful firms. Tho secret.-of their success lies in tho fact that they keep their management young. They aro a lino example of the blending of tho experience of ago with rigorous progressive youth. .In supplying New Zealand and Australian markets, W. and A. Bates, Ltd., at once realised that tho same lyro construction could not possibly suit such different conditions. Notwithstanding the expense and dislocation to their factory routine, they designed and constructed specinl tyros adapted, for each country's conditions. Tho result, is quite apparent, as in fourteen years they have secured onn o[ iho largest high-grado lyro businesses in New Zealand.

A-visit to Stand' Js'.o. SO will reveal Urn unsuspected difference in construction between Bates tyres and other lyres, and incidentally the lesson on. lyre construction will prove lx>th interesting and instructive.

Good news for motorists is contained in tho announcement that Iho Bales highgrade motoT-car lyres-and Bates commercial vehicle nolid lyres will shortly be available. ;
