Not more—that would be impossible. ANOTHER REASON IS that you have been promis- \ingfor‘alongfimetosellthe“oldbolt”am_l(efl_)m‘ a new car—one that will be more in keeping with ok so ol ol AND YOU KNOW that of all the cars that are made, Reo the Fifth—for she can drive it her- self. Many of her woman friends drive Reos—and ‘they’ve told her, of course, of its wonderful sim- trol “‘just like an electric,” and of its dependability. THAT ABSOLUTE FREfiDOM from the “pesky little troubles” that vex most motorists, and which are so distasteful—so unthinkal makes Reo the Fifth the choice THE THIRD REASON has to do with the second— that is, the selling of the “old boat,” to advantage. DOUBTLESS YOU'VE LEARNED that you can get more for your old used car yourself than a dealer can—so it’s really folly to “trade it in.” THE IDEAL TIME to sell a used car is in January.or February—just when the big rush is setting in—when all good, desigable hopelessly over-sold it is impossible to get immediate delivery for “love or money’’ and when a “tlrade in” is almost out of the question. BUYERS ARE HUNGRY then for ‘any old kind of a car—but dealers are hungry only for new ones. THEN’S THE TIME to advertise your used car, sell it for cash, and realize more for it than you can possibly do by trading.

To those of us who remember Idahs in our school geographies as a smail pink block, shaped like an easy chair facing east, it may be of interest that this state which in 1980 added the for- ‘ty-fifth star to the contellation of tha flag, is nearly as large as Pennsylva-o nia and Ohio combined and hrgor than the six New England states witl land included for good measurs.
