You will want a car that will wear, a car that will not cost much to run and next to noth- ing for repairs.

One of the earlier Reo Speed Wagons, made in 1915, has an authenticated record of more than half a million miles! That means the wonderful Reo motor must have withstood the alternate stresses of more than . 2,348,000,000 explosions and impulses; crank shaft must have revolved more than 1,174,000,000 times, while each cam must have withstood the wear of lifting its valve 587,000,- 000 times. There is a reason for that performance—it is just what that motor was developed to do. Intake valves located in cylinder-heads; ex- haust valves, offset; spark plugs scientifically placed—this motor not only develops tremen- dous power for its size, but reciprocating parts are built to sustain those excessive strains.

About nine drivers out of ten choke their engines with gas when they strike this hill. 1 guess the drivers get scared of it themselves, so they feed all the gas they can in their eagerness to hit the top in ‘high.’ That's why nine-tenths of the cars that tackle this hill finish in ‘second.” The owners can't s to. get It through their heads ti Just like themselves when it comes to feeding.

The arguments for good roads, the material point of view, are very obvi- ous. While it is true that we had to wait for the automoblle to create a {large enough number of persons in- | terested in good roads which would {run beyond mere neighborhoods, the {highway s not intended, first and chief of all, for the pleasure vehicle. Nor is it intended for the mere trav- eler. Nor {s it intended for the mere tourist. It is not made in arder that some company of leisurely people {may travel from coast to coast of this great continent. It is made because we need it in ail the material uses of | our lives. We need it, first and chief [ of all. in’order that our resources may be made use of, for they cannot be | imade use of until they have got to | | market, and we cannot get them to 14ih Street at P Main 4173 market unless we can get them from AR i the mine and the farm to the nearest - (267-16) | railway station. | We cannot know what the resources of the country are unless the country |is covered over with a network of jroads which ~will release all the locked-up riches of the countrysides. There are little pockets in the moun where nature has made largest of gifts of fertile soil and genlal climate jand abundant rainfall, but where |lhey can never get their crops to mar- ket, where they burn their corn, so }much of it as they cannot feed to their cattle, where they raise what they do raise for the consumption of their families merely, and contribute nothing to the markets of the na- tion.
