TRANSPORT COURT

CENTENNIAL EXHIBITION appeal to motorists Among the many industrial attractions at the Centennial Exhibition in Wellington, there is none that is more filled with interest both tor the general public and the more mechanically minded, than the Transportation Court. Here the motor traders of New Zealand have excelled themselves in designing a series of displays which would bear comparison with the famous motor shows of Britain and the Continent. This show is by no means limited to a display of motor cars. There are many working exhibits depicting practically- every phase of motor car manufacture. It appears that there has been a real effort to enlighten the public on what makes things go in the 19119 motor vehicles. One of the highlights of the court is a large exhibit by the Dominion Motors, Limited. The first novelty is that the display is made in a sunken court. Here, in a colour scheme of cream and scarlet, you see a display that runs the whole gamut of modern transportation. Prominently featured are a select series of British motor cars, young and virile in styling and expressing all that is best in the tradition of British engineering. Gleaming under the same brilliant lights are masterpieces of American industry, big and streamlined to express the high point of luxury in motor car design.

Lower down are the commercial vehicles and finally a large display of tractors which are visual proof of the modernity, convenience and work capacity that modern engineering has brought to farm tractor design.

The simple background is relieved by murals depicting the large English and American factories which are represented by Dominion Motors in New Zealand. The central piece is a raised mural in full colour which proves of great interest to all the visitors. It takes the form of a fun map and depicts the sales and service network of Dominion Motors in. New Zealand.
