I Every Reo Six Is ! "The Best Six" || TWO REO SIX OWNERS met on the street 1 recently. Just happened to drive up and stop If at the same place. j|| THAT FRATERNAL SPIRIT that for some | reason exists between all Reo owners served as an introduction. YOU SEE, THE VERY FACT that a man 1 owns a Reo Six is an endorsement of his sound I I judgment and good taste— AND, OF COURSE, they talked of their Reos. 11l ! "MY SPEEDOMETER SHOWS 23,874 miles!" exclaimed one exultantly, "and I have owned 11 this Reo Six just two years—bought it in March, 1916." "THAT'S PRETTY GOOD" replied the other, 1 "but just come here and look at mine. "24,962 MlLES—and I also bought my Reo in 111 March, 1916." 1 JUST THEN ANOTHER Reo Six came along. Noticing it was the same model they hailed it and asked, "HOW LONG HAVE YOU driven your Reo 1 Six and how many miles?" HE HAD DRIVEN his Six 20,245 miles in twenty-one months. DID SPACE PERMIT we'd like to tell you all those three Reo owners said to each other— {lit 1 for each was an enthusiast and each insisted that hard driving and care considered, his was ||| the best Reo. 11 THAT'S THE IDEA we wish to convey in l| this advertisement —that every Reo is a good |j]| automobile. WONDERFUL UNIFORMITY of perform -2 ance due to wonderful uniformity of quality— I that is an attribute distinctly Reo. WE'VE SAID BEFORE and we repeat, that I after 20,000 miles your Reo Six is still new. 11 OWNERS KNOW THAT —not only Reo 1 owners, but their friends who drive other 111 sixefl and who compare notes as to cost of ||| operation and upkeep. AND THAT IS WHY the demand is always I I greater than the factory output YOU MUST ORDER your Reo Six at once if II B you would obtain one for early spring delivery. 19 Harrisburg Auto Co.
