The Reason You Should Buy

A 30 HORSE POWER FOUR OYLIHDER REO
I
t-
r?
''
t
Because it is a large handsome car with 30 actual horse-power
Because it has speed is a climber smooth running has powerful machinery and is
light enough to reduce tire cost to a minimum
Because it is economical in its consumption of gasoline an! cylialer oil
Because the cost is within the reach of the man of moderate mean3 and the expense
of up-keep is very light
In support of our claims we wish to say that on May 1 John Henry four months af-
ter he had purchased a 4-cyliner 30 horse power Reo made a run from Carmen to
Wichita Kansas against a heavy wind a distance of 140 miles ia 5 hoars and 20 minutes
using 8 gallons of gasoline 1 quart of cylinder oil and two quarts of W2ter the radiator
being barely warm and the car was in splendid condition
