STUDEBAKERS AND BRAYS.

Many Sales Recorded. Judging by results—and it is re- . suits which count—there were no more popular cars at the Winter Show than the Studebakers and Grays, for which the well-known firm of Messrs. J. Tombs and Company are agents. Several of those on exhibition had been purchased during* the show by well-known Waikato and Thames Valley residents and it was generally predicted that before the 1924 show terminated sales of these cars would have constituted a fresh record'. Messrs. Tombs and Company’s stand waS undoubtedly one of the most attractive in 'the show, yet at the same time it was practical. Salesmen were present, to demonstrate the qualities of these cars and were willing to further explain ail details. The exhibits included the celebrated Studebaker Big 0, priced at £650; the Studebaker Special 6 at £525; the Light 6 5-seater at £420; and the Studebaker Light 6, 3-seater at £420. It is maintained by users of Studebaker cars that they combine sturdy construction and fine performance with low operating costs; in short it is the car for reliability and economy. In 1923 the manufacturers disposed of 145,167 cars, and in all have now running on the roads of the world 750,000 cars—-truly stupendous figures. Messrs. Tombs and Company have that confidence in the Studebaker that all they ask is to be allowed to explain and demonstrate. In addition Messrs. Tombs and Company had on exhibition two Gray 5-seaters, the selling price of which is absurdly 10w—£295. This is a highly-finished car which has been tested under the hardest conditions and has come through with satisfaction to all its users. The Gray may be faithfully termed “ the average man’s good proposition.” An inspection of this car alone is well worth the while of residents from this district who wish to invest in a sound proposition. Cars similar to those on exhibition may now be inspected at Messrs. Jas. Tombs and Company’s showrooms in Collingwood stre.et, Hamilton.
