IF NOT, JUST CONSIDER for a moment the tremendous significance of that fact for it is a fact that all motorists look upon Reo as the “Gold Standard.” YOU MAY DOUBT, you may: question, claims made for other cars; but you accept as a fact firmly established, that a Reo is 24 karat fine from radiator cap to tire holder.

And the longer, the more unsatisfactory. THAT'S WHAT COUNTS. If it proves to be a racing car—and therefore a “gasoline hog”’; or so light it will soon show its flimsi- ness by squeaking and creaking and groan- ing over the least inequality of the road; IF IT’S ONE OF THOSE “2 in 1” affairs that looks simple from the outside but proves as inaccessible as a burglar- proof safe when you try to make some adjust- ment or replacement or repairs; IF IN FACT, IT FAILS to make good on any one of a hundred counts—then it falls short of the Reo Standard—and you will be grievously disappointed.
