New Zealand's history is written by pioneers. whose exploits blaze each new episode. First the Maoris, a race of great navigators and warriors, dared an unknown ocean and drove their frail canoes, by sail and paddle, from Hawaiki to this Ao-tea-roa (Land of the Long White Cloud). Centuries later came the first Europeans, a gallant company of voyagers—Tasman, De Surville and Cook—whose discoveries opened the way for Empire-building. The modern era / dawned in 1840, when, on January 22nd, the first colonists, led by Colonel Wakefield, landed at Petone, now a suburb of Wellington, and founded the settlement that was to become the capital city of the Dominion. THE ANNIVERSARY OF A GREAT PIONEERING ACHIEVEMENT ’ In every sphere there is a pioneer. A year ago, TEXACO, fulfilling its obligation ’ of leadership, introduced to New Zealand a new and higher standard of motor fuel in “Power Chief,” a, definitely superior anti-knock motor spirit. “Power Chief” promised greater mileage, greater power, smoother, cooler motors. It J did just what was claimed for it, and its overwhelming success has changed the whole trend of motor fuel and made motoring more enjoyable for all. POWER MB! CHIEF eliminates engine knocking, cuts down petrol, oil and repair bills and improves the performance of every car. fß3i Wx . . jRk /iK JI . . ®Sll . ti|L
