Motor and Engineering Works

A Progressive Business

Scottsdale and the North East Coast generally are fortunate in possessing such an up-to-date and complete motor and engineering shop as that so successfully conducted by Holmes .Bros, at their commodious and well equipped establishment, King Street. A glance round shows that there is no need for the motor car driver motor cyclist, or ordinary push cyclist to go to the city for every class of repair and for the very best accessories and requisites. This shop is well equipped with all the most modern devices for producing the best possible work, and the proprietary have succeeded admirably in satisfying the public of their ability to execute repairs or small engineering work in the very best and most reliable manner, at prices in many cases below those of city gauges and firms. That being so, every Northeastern motor and cycle man should make a point of supporting local industry and progressive enterprise, all exemplified by the fine work turned out by this popular firm, and give Holmes Bros the patronage their merit richly deserves.

Passing motorists will here find all supplies of best petrols, oil, lamps tyres, tubes, etc at lowest possible prices, and all A1 quality. This popular and progressive firm have also made a solid reputation in with their famous and fast 'Veribest' cycle, which has proved true to name on many a Tasmanian track. This machine, which is one of the most reliable and popular, is "built like a watch" of the very best materials and parts, whilst the workmanship and finish are as high class as that put into any machine in the State. Indeed the whole record of this popular firm is one of progress, achieved as the result of giving patrons the best work possible. Holmes Bros are also local agents for the world famous Red Indian motor cycles.
