THE LATEST IN CARS.

, THE OVERLAND.

Mr V. Nicholls. projorietol- of then Tui Street. fireproof garage. and sole district agent of the Overland car,l has just imported «me of the latest! iimciels, which is now on view in his! showroom. Built on symmetrical‘ lines, -this model is a thing of beauty. In keeping with its appearance, it is equipped with all the latest devices, such as electric light. electric starter, electric horn and magnetto. In-ad-dition to these advantages, it is claimed to be the most economical‘ car on the market, and that this claim is justified is borne out by Mr Nich-4 olls’ experience in bringing the earl from W'ell'ington to Taihape_ Keepingi a record of benzine used from the‘ time he left Wellington until he ar-N rived at his own garage, the consump-1 tion averaged one gallon to 26 miles. That this record is a remarkable one will be conceded, when it is remembered that the engine was a. new one, and naturally ivorlied stiff, and the condition and hilly nature of the roads traversed. It ha.s been demonstrated that on ‘ordinary roads 30‘ miles per gallon is the average consumption. This low rate per mile is of vital importance to motorists when the soaring prices of :benzine are taken into consideration. Inspection of this latest model is invited. ’ Considering. the outstanding merits of this car, the price asked, £445. is extremely moderate. ‘Another detail in connection with this car, and one that will be appreciated by motorists in this district, is that the springs are unusually strong, which makes it an ideal car for counjtry roads. 4
