r»HRISTCHURCH, the most English Vrf city of New Zealand — if we are to believe all we hear — 1b the,motorcyclists paradise. And m consequence, there are yiuite a few men who devote their time to the not unprofitable : occupation of selling tin gee-gees to the multitude. Among them is George Henderson./ • Time was when George thought nothing of going into a race doing his 100 miles per. hour with as much concern as the average man shows over a tram ride. . . - , Further, he has been known to 'do quite &■ lot of good m hill-climbing and reliability tests. ■ i But nowadays he's the model young business man 'and we find him m -partnership m the firm of Velvin and,Henderson, who, to their credit, boost British goods. One of these days, the lawn-mower will, go bung and you'll 'stray into George's premises to borrow, a spanner. His salesmanship is so good that somehow you'll find yourself on the footpath m a pleasant blue haze, with the dim knowledge forcing itself upon y,ou that you have bought a motor-cycle.
