Planned to run full force on the Reo the Fifth model during the fall and winter months, and store the surplus they hoped to accumulate against the big spring rush. MADE THE CARS ALRIGHT—but there the plans were frustrated by dealers' demands for immediate shipments. These took the full capacity of the plants for those months—and today there is not a Reo the Fifth in that big warehouse! SO THIS IS TO WARN YOU against delay in Ordering your Reo. Only by ordering at once can you hope to get it when you'll want it. YOU KNOW AS WELL AS WE—if you have watched it at all —that in previous years thousands of would-be Reo owners have been disappointed. Not merely delay in delivery—but the absolute impossibility of getting a car. Factory output all allotted to dealers —dealers' quota all contracted for by customers weeks in advance. IT IS A REMARKABLE FACT that in years past premiums have been paid for Reos —while cars with lesser reputation went a-begging. THIS YEAR, BECAUSE of the condition above recited —not a car in reserve, factory running double shift and daily demand keeping pace with and absorbing whole out put —only those who have learned by past experience and who order immediately, can hope to get a Reo the Fifth. OUR ALLOTMENT FOR THIS YEAR IS 398 CARS—To insure prompt delivery we have stored a train load on North Tenth street. They won't last long. WE SUPPOSE WE OUGHT to te!J you something about this car —it's the usual thing to do in an ad. But bless you, every body in the world knows Reo the Fifth as "The Incomparable Four."
