THE SUNDAY STAR., WASHINGTON, D. ©, JULY 25, 1926— PART 3. Demands of Tomorro “THhe automobile is fast becoming the Amer- ican family’s roving home, and just as the average family does not trade its fixed home every year, it does not want to trade its auto- mobile,”saysRayW.Sherman,Editorof Motor, and leading authority on automobile trends. Continuing his leading article in the Show issue of Motor, he states, “There are two great advances demanded by the public: 1. ONE IS CARS THAT WILL GIVE SERVICE FOR YEARS AND NOT HAVE TO BE TRADED IN. 2. THE OTHER IS MAINTENANCE THAT DOES NOT LAY A CAR UP FOR SO MANY HOURS AS IS NOW THE CUSTOM AND NECESSITY.” Reo leads all American cars in meeting both if these demands. Reo leads all American cars in giving years of service without needing to be traded in. That is proved by Reo’s amazing achieve- ment of being America’s longest lasting auto- mobile —an achievement attested by every recog- nized method of computing automobile life. . These prove that Reo offers you over three more years of life than the average American automobile. You may not wish to keep your Reo untilits days are over. But the length of life built into it means that far beyond the limits of ordinary car endurance, your Reo will give you velvet-footed miles of travel, miles free from worry of breakdowns or minor troubles, and that its resale value will be high. Ask a Reo salesman to show you the facts about Reo’s long life. Go over a Reo for yourself and see why it is possible for Reo to outlast all other Amer- ican cars. The Second Great Advance Reo leads in construction that makes mainte- nance and repair easy, economical and quick. The Reo owner pays less for maintenance and repairs for two reasons: First—Because Reos so seldom need repairs. The REO MOTOR CAR COMPANY, Lansing, THE TREW MOTOR CO., Inc. fact that Reos are kept so long testifies to that. Second — Because Reo, realizing years ago that these advances would be demanded, has so built that repairs can be made more quickly and with less cost for labor and parts. When repairs are needed, most can be made more quickly, and at less cost on a Reo than on any other car in its price class or of greater price. They can be made more quickly on a Reo than on most cars costing less. They can be made more cheaply, counting labor and parts cost, than on some cars whose original cost is below Reo’s. There are many repairs that can be made on a Reo far more quickly and at much less cost than on a car which is constructed to older standards. Only a few of the many can be mentioned here. Come in and ask us to compare Reo repair costs with yours. When the hot days spell : ‘g0 to the hills,” a Reo takes you carefreely, com- fortably, economically— year after year after year. A Few Instances Freedom from layups and maintenance costs: Valve grinding and carbon removal are required only one-third to one-fourth as often as on most cars. The radiator is so constructed as to be practically frost-proof., . Adjustable bearings save the cost of new ones. The Split-Second' Steering Gear seldom, if ever, needs adjustment. ; And many others. Come in and see them. " Michigan JOSEPH B. TREW President "1509-1511 14th Street N.W. .

The time necessary is from % to 33 less than on ordinary cars. So easily and quickly is the work done, so low are parts prices, that a new clutch can be installed on a Reo for a complete cost which is 33%4% less than just the labor cost on some others. Come in and compare your costs with Reo’s. Transmission repairs. Znese can be made without disturbing clutch, motor, or rear end in from % to 3 the time commonly needed by other cars. Come in and compare your costs on this with Reo’s. Timing gears. There’s no need for lifting or support- ing the Reo engine while installing new timing gears as must be done on so many other cars in its price class. Come in and compare your costs. Rear axle inspection. The Reo rear axle can be dis- mounted, all gears taken out for inspection in half the time and at less than half the cost necessary for many other cars in its price class. Come in and compare your costs. Starter. It's almost impossible to damage a Reo starter. The most an owner could do would be to break one or more links in a starter chain—and a new chain can be bought and installed for $3.00 or $4.00 against the usual cost of $30.00 to $40.00 for repairing the most common damage to the ordinary starter—breaking a gear tooth. The Two Great Advances Are Here, The two great advances demanded by ‘the public: “1. Cars which will give service for years and not have to be traded in. “2. Maintenance that does not lay a car up for so many hours as is now the custom and necessity.” Are today found in Reo, and ‘have been for years. Foryears the forward-looking, veteran car-buyers who first asked for these advances, have been buying Reos. Come in and compare Reo maintenance and repair costs with yours. Then take out a Reo and drive it. NEW AND IMPROVED SEDAN $1565 at Lansing plus tax
