NORWICH BULLETIN, SATURDAY, MARCH 27, 1915 { Ordered That Reo of Yours? | WE DON'T LIKE to keep dinning at you. Seems in- @ consistent too when all the world knows that we don’t need to worry about selling all the Reos the factory can give us. FACT THE DEMAND is, according to advices from Lansing, where the Reos are made, more than four times the possible supply. JUST THINK OF THAT! If there isnt food for optimism we don’t know. If business is slack anywhere, it isnt with Reo. And the Reo de- mand which is just as great in California as in Connecticut and just as excessive in Minnesota as in Texas, indicates that things must be pretty fair everywhere, Reo the Fifth $1050 f. o. b. Lansing,Mich. “The Incomparable Four” IWESTERLY COURT UPHOLDS ABENT Owner Must Pay for Interior Improvements of Property in Randall vs. Burdick Case—Roof Fire—Funeral of Mrs. Lewis Stanton—Henry McCarroll Dead. The case of Abel P. Randall vs. Mary P. Burdick, in which considerable evi- dence was presented and numerous witnesses called, was heard in the Third district court Friday _before Judge Oliver H. Williams. The suit was brought for the recovery of a bill alleged due plaintiff for work done on the property of the defendant. At the conclusion was rendered for the plaintiff. Mrs. Mary S. Burdick of New York engaged William A. Wilcox of the West Side to manage her property, which is located at 56 Elm street. She told Mr. Wilcox that the rent of the house should be raised. Mr. Wilcox knew that to do this certain repairs would have to be made. Mr. Wilcox told the court that he supposed he had been given complete charge of the property, so ordered the necessary repairs. When the bills were sent to the owner an objection was im- mediately raised by her. She put the matter in the hands of her lawyer and discharged Mr. Wilcox from further responsibility for her affairs. Thursday Irving Bearse of Provi- dence was given power by the court in that city to recover his bill for paper- ing. The action brought by Mr. Ran- dall was a similar one, claiming that $341.30 was due him. The chief point which_the plaintiff tried to prove was that Mr. Wilcox was Mrs. Burdick's truly authorized agent. Mr. Randall was called to the stand by Judge Herbert Rathbun, for the plaintiff. He submitted records from his books to verify that the work had been done as ordered. Mr. Wilcox testified that Mrs. Bur- dick had engaged him as her agent and haq given him power to act as though the property were his own. He saw, he said, that to make the property more desirable, certain improvements were necessary, which he ordered. He testified that he, after the bills had been submitted, received a letter from Mrs. Burdick’s lawyver saying that his services were no longer required. Several other witnesses were called, among them Miss Maud Rickard, the present occupant of the house, Mrs. E. L. Moulton and Eugene B. Pendle- ton. The substance of their testimony was to the effect that Mr. Wilcox had been made Mrs. Burdick's agent. Attorney Stephen J. Casey of Provi- dence, for the defense, called Mrs. Bur- dick to the stand. She stated that she had made an arrangement with Mr. Wilcox to rent or sell the house, and said that she had authorized him to have the house painted on the outside, but she had given no instructions about improving the interior. Another witness called by the de- fense was Mrs. L. Nathan Burdick. She said-that she was present when HERE'S A 25-ACRE PLANT running full force and over-time trying to meet a demand for automo- biles—and orders every day more than four times the possible output. COURSE WE CAN'T SAY that all automobiles enjoy such a demand. Reo is unique among motor cars for many reasons. Reo cars have always been good cars—honest cars—dependable cars— and cars of such low upkeep cost that every Reo owner insists on his friends buying Reos in pref- erence to any others, THERE NEVER HAS BEEN a time since the first Reo was made that the big Reo plants could sup- ply enough cars for all who wanted Reos. AND THERE NEVER HAS BEEN a time wshen the bricklayers and carpenters were not building ad- ditions to that great plant. Never a time. They are always building at Lansing—a year Between visits and you'd hardly recognize the place, ANYWAY THE FACT THAT INTERESTS you is that the demand for those cars is tremendous and that thousands—yes, tens of thousands are bound to be disappointed this year. Can’t possibly get enough cars to go around. Late comers will sup- ply have to wait or accept “substitutes.” THAT'S WHY WE ARE keeping up our advertising schedule just as if we had to sell cars—we don’t want you to blame us if you are late and can’t get a Reo. It ig bad to have too little business, but past experience with Reo over-demand makes us feel it is almost as bad to have too much. Buyers biame us for their own tardiness. 80—THIS IS FAIR WARNING—orders that come at once can be filled and with fairly early deliveries while those who delay ordering will surely be dis- appointed. THERE ARE TWO REOS this season—and one of them is the most popular automobile in America. We can’t for the life of us tell which at this juncture. SUFFICE IT TO SAY the demand for the New Reo Six is more than four times as great as the fac- tory capacity—and for Reo the Fifth it is also hopelessly in excess of our ability to produce. AND NO WONDER: The New (1915) Reo the Fifth, “the Incomparable Four” at $1050; and the New Reo Six, “the Six of Sixty Superiorities” at $1385, represent each in its power and price class—the( greatest automobile value the world has ever seen. ORDER YOURS NOW-that's the only way to be the conversation about the property took place and that Mr. Wilcox had said nothing about plumbing the house. Judge Williams rendered a decision for the plaintiff for the sum of $341.30: The case of Joseph A. Guarino ve, William A. Wilcox was then brought up. Plaintiff sought to recover $100 which he claimed was due him for services rendered Mr. Wilcox. Mr. Guarino claimed that Mr. Wilcox had promised him $50 if he would sell for him a farm on the Post road known as the Brown farm. He said he finally disposed of the property for $2,500 and that he also sold 8 house on Downer street or Mr. Wilcox for $950. Mr. Wilcox said that he agreed to give Mr. Guarino $50 if he sold the Brown farm for $2.600 and that he wculd give him $25 if he could sell the Downer street propert. He was to pay the latter amount, he claimed, as soon as $300 had been paid on the sale. He said that at the present time only $250 had been paid. A decision of $50 and costs was given the plaintiff by Judge Williams. Cases on the civil docket were dis- posed of as follows: Peter Lane vs. Annfe Broadfoot, continued one week: Vincenzo Natolo vs. Antonio Lorello, decision entered for the defendant and appeal taken; Henry P. Walton Vs. Mariella_Rose, settled by asreement; W. H. Burdick vs. Elizabeth Hurst, decision for the plaintiff for $81.67 and costs. A fire on the roof of a barn in the rear of the residence of Joseph W. “hesbro, 150 West Broad street, Paw- catuck, occurred Friday afternoon shortly after 4 o'clock. It is thought that the blaze originated from a spark blown from a nearby bonfire. Little dainage resulted. As soon as those in the neighborhood saw the burning roof they secured buckets of water which they continued to pour on the flames that on account of a strong wind were making rapid headway. In the meantime the fire alarm had been sounded ahd the P. S. Barber Hose company quickly respond- ed. In a short time the blaze had been completely extinguished.

The greatest folly of today is com- mitted by people with weak dyspeptic stomachs who take artificial digesters to cure indigestion.
