USING THE WORLD'S FINEST WOOL /' - '\VER a year ago, the Managing Director of a local Motor Car Company summoned his senior executives. “Gentlemen,” he said, “we all recognise that New Zealand woollen fabrics arc g equal to the best the world produces. I have here a sample of a New Zealand woollen upholstery fabric, and with your approval I wish to use it in one of our cars, just to see how it compares with imported material.” As a result of this experiment, to-day the majority of this Company’s cars are finished in fabrics locally / r ~'a woven from pure New Zealand wool. In view of this, it is particularly interesting to know that if every closed car sold in New Zealand last year had been finished in these New Zealand fabrics, J the consumption of raw wool by local woollen mills would have been increased by 11%. / 4 But it must be remembered that only this one V-it' motor-car Company carries on assembling and finishPiW s ing operations on such a scale as to allow it to f I incorporate New Zealand woollen upholstery in its cars. It is significant too, that it alone uses New Zealand made bumpers, luggage carriers, timber, hardware, tyre-covers, in fact every usable New Zealand material, in the famous group of cars it produces at the Petone Plant... and that 65% of ■ the purchase price of these cars stays to circulate in the country. GENERAL MOTORS For these reasons New Zealanders are giving careful NEW ZEALAND LTD. consideration to General Motors’ cars. And they find woris: petone, Wellington that the pound for pound value of the cars themselves, as testified to by 30,000 New Zealand owners, is a ■ guarantee of a satisfactory personal investment.
