THE PROGRESS OF THE MOTOR.

The advance in quality and reduction in price of the up-to-date English motor car is one of the wonders of the day. The wonderful simplicity in handling and the great facilities they afford for cheap and speedy locomotion, render them indispensible to the present day business man. The wise ones have already realised this in all the big centres of New Zealand and their number increases daily. This method of locomotion provides an ideal means of preserving health by plenty of outdoor exercise and fresh air. One firm n Wellington who handle the famous English "Stuart" car, report phenomenal strides in business in Wellington, Christuhurch, and Hawke's Bay, and during the past three months have sold fifty-six cars in the North and South Islands. This week the Wellington branch are sending Home a New Zealand buyer, Mr Best, who takes indent orders for his firm, and clients, of not less than 231 Stuart cars, and two agricultural ihotors for farmers at Ashburton. Mr T. Dwyer, who holds the Wairarapa agency for the Stuart car, also reports good business, having placed five cars in Masterton and district.

Mr Dwyer can supply motorists with quotations for re-treading motor tyres, also for any important repairs required. The large garage in Queen Street is well under way, and the contractors expect to finish in about seven weeks' time. Catalogues of Stuart cars will be posted free on application. Prices range from £260 upwards. A 40 horse power Stuart car has just been landed to the order of Mr Brett, of Christchurch. Now the long winter evenings are upon us, everyone is strongly advised to purchase an Edison outfit, for that is one of the greatest musical entertainers money can buy. The public are invited to call and hear Edison music at "The Talkeries," free of charge.
