Tho Federal Leaguers fit In wonderfully

Ho needs another strong right-handed
pitcher to team with Dave Davenport
Tho latter Is almost certain to bo n, star,
but another right-hander Is necessary. St
Louis scribes claim that Goorgo Uaunv

tho Browns will have tho right-hander

Two years ago Baumgartner looked llko

The new Case 40, at its price of

With its 120-inch wheelbase, new

On the Subject of
Commercial Integrity
THE REO FOLK BELIEVE have
always believed and from the first have
based the Reo Policy on the belief
that ultimate supremacy in the auto
mobile industry will redound to that
concern that has the most scrupulously
fulfilled its obligations to its customers.
IT MATTERS NOT whether those obli
gations are assumed in writing or mere
ly implied in transactions as between
man and man the Reo Folk hold them
as sacred.
IF THERE IS ANY REASON aside
from the inherent quality and value of
Reo cars for the splendid Reo success,
it is to be found in the reputation Reo
has for making good its guarantee.
OF COURSE YOU KNOW all the
world knows that the Reo Motor Car
Company is financially one of the strong
est automobile companies in the world.
AND YOU KNOW that it is also oneof the
pioneers in the industry so that finan
cial strength is not due to lucky chance
nor to a brief period of prosperity.
REO STANDING financially and in
the hearts of buyers is the result of a
policy firmly founded in the beginning
and consistently carried out through a
long period of years.
BUT ALL THAT would not matter if
the heart of Reo were not sound.
IT WOULD NOT MATTER how much
money there was back of the Reo guar
antee if there were not also Reo Integ
rity and Reo Good Intent.
THAT IS WHY, knowing the Reo Folk
and their ideals, you'll feel safer in
selecting a Reo than any other car of
similar size or price class.
SPEAKING OF SIZE do you realize
what a big, as well as beautiful car is
that New Reo Six?
IT'S A FULL 7 -PASSENGER CAR
126-inch wheelbase and on cantilever
springs, giving the fullest passenger
space and the utmost in luxurious
qualities.
DEMAND IS TREMENDOUS and
output of this 7-passenger Six is limited.
So if you'd have the most ' luxurious
equipage and the sweetest running car
the Reo Folk have ever turned out,
your order should be in our hands at
once. Today won't be a minute too soon.
