Three-fifths of a second gained in set- ting your brakes when driving 25 miles per hour means a saving of 21 feet 6 inches in stopping.

Reo first led the way to greater safety and quicker progress through traffic by pioneering the left-hand drive. Next it pioneered the direct center-control — tak- ing the control levers off the side of the car and putting them into the front compartment. A few years ago Reo pioneered the nationwide use of balloon tires —again providing better braking and easier control in traffic. A glance at the stream of passing cars will show you how universally the basic things which Reo pioneers are adopted eventually by the motor car industry. For some time to come, however,only the New Reo will have Split- Second Braking together with Standard Control, now offered to the public for the first time.
