REO CARS FOR CUSTO
AS SOON AS7HEY
The wisdom and fdtethought ot tne
Harrisburg Automobile Company in se
curing a trainload of automobiles the
first part of March, and storing them
in the big warehouse on Tenth street,
anticipating the spring nish, has proven
a boon to the numerous people who are
going to buy Reos just as soon as the
robins eome. Just about one-half of
these 51 cars have been taken out and
delivered to customers in this territory.
Nineteen have been taken out so far
in April. It is a mighty nice thing to
be able to get your favorite car the day
you want it. Two hundred and sixty

MILLIONS BEINGMADE FROM
TIP GIVEN BY UNCLE SAM
Quad the Only Motor Truck That Could
Beach High Mining Claim and
Bring Untold Biches to the Pos
sessor*
How a California miner made mil
lions of dollars by taking a tip from
Uncle 6am is the latest and most ro
mantic chapter in the history of trans
portation.
Several months ago there emerged
from the Funeral Range, on the west
side of Death Valley, a prospector
who wae all but dead from exhaustion.
Only the knowledge of having discov
ered a rich gold mine spurred him on
to safety. ,
But when he recovered sufficiently
to go and claim his riches, he was
faced with the problem of transporta
tion. Wu'gons were impossible—the
grades were too steep. Pack mules
would not do —the animals needed
more water themselves than they could
carry (between wells. Motor trucks of
the "ordinary type were tried, but they
all quit at "the first steep grade.
Then came the tip from Uncle Ssra.
One of the army officers at San Diego
told of a new type of motor truck
called the Quad, which drives, brakes
antl Steers on all four wheels and
which was recently adopted by the 1
United States government for use in I
the quartermaster and signal corps of \
the American army. This truck, he i
said, waded Hjht through sand or |
roadless country wherever there was a
holding bottom and eimply laughed at ;
the hills.
So the Death Valley miner tried a j
Quad, which he operated between his
mine and Zabriskie, a little town on j
the Tonopah and Tidewater railroad. |
Soon he had an offer of $70,000 for I
his property aud sold out. The next ;
owner had carried away $80,0(M) worth i
of ore with the Quad when he got an j
offer of $130,000 which he accepted, j
Still another change of ownership j
came when the price was boosted to
$310,000. But.the present owner is;
not talking sale. Instead, he has !
bought two more Quad« and his for
tune will soon be reckoned in mil- j
lions.—Advi*

tomers up to date and a telegram re
ceived from the Reo people this morn
ing announces the shipment of five ad
ditional carloads direct to customers in
surrounding towns. The Harrisburg
Automobile Company have already
made arrangements to get eight hun
dred Reo cars for 1916 and to increase
their storing capacity during the win

stored in March of this year. The only
reason that this great increase and

' EASIEST six CYLINDER CAR
The "Light Six" Haynes Performs
Wonderful Work on Less Gasoline
Than Many Other Machines
The "Light Six" Haynes is the
easiest sis-cylinder car in the country
on gaeoline. When you can get from
twenty to twenty-four miles on a gal
lon of gasoline with five passengers,
it pays the public to buy an automo
bile of this character.
The makers acknowledge that the
carburetor on the Haynes is of a re
markably fine type, not usually found
on a car of this price, the Bayfield,
and that the Haynes is constructed
from radiator to rear axle of the very
best possible material, all of which
is in perfect alignment and bearings
ground to a micrometer fit.
There isn't any doirbt but that the
Haynes is built not just to sell but to
make the owner more enthusiastic
than owners generally get and to have
his enthusiasm increased instead of
decreased.
Many a man is greatly pleased with
his car when he gets ft but has a dif
ferent tune to sing six or nine mouths
after he has owned it. It is not that
way with the Haynes. The longer the
customers have Haynes cars the bet
ter pleased they are.
Roberts and Hoin, local dealers, say
that the Haynes is the best and light
est six-eylinder ear made at the pres
ent time, that it will go up any hill
faster at high gear, faster at second
gear, fastej at low gear, also slower
at high gear and that it will go farther
on a gallon of gasoline than any other
six-cylinder car of any weight made,
