The -running and upkeep will work out actually cheaper than horse-haulage. s Further particulars later from Licensed Ford Dealers throughout New Zealand Agents for the Ford Motor Co. of Canada: THE COLONIAL MOTOR CO., LTD.

Enclosed VALVE-IN-HEAD increases "Jackson 8" power 20 per. cent., irifch DECREASED gas consumption, evidenced by our |20-niiles-to-thc-gallon records. The explosion takes placo directly over the pistonhead, WHERE IT SHOULD OCCUR TO DELIVER MAXIMUM ENERGY. Intake and exhaust valves over the piston-head at top of combustion chamber mean QUICKENED ACTION that no other eightcylinder motor allows. There is no other motor in the world of tho SAME DISPLACEMENT which delivers', or which makes CLAIMS to deliver, as great power.
