DON’T BUY AN AUTOMOBILE UNTIL YOU HAVE SEEN REO the Fifth F. H. HUBBARD Agent for Adams County. Decatur, Ind. Why I Am Selling REO Cars I have been using REO THE "THIRD for six years, and it has! made good, and is now doing duty here in Adams County as efficiently as ! ever. The Reo Company has always treated me fairly on repairs and an occas onal overhauling of the car. My brother has used a REO THE | FOURTH for two years and found it satisfactory. Three of us Sugar Company employees have been considering for the past I year the purchase of cars and have attended several automobile shows I and investigated the different makes of cars. Our chief engineer at Holland is an auto expert and we have asked his advice, also. The result of our investigations has been in favor of the REO by long odds. In fact we have concluded that there is no better car made for any price than the REO, HIGER PRICED CARS REPRESENTING ONLY ADDED POWER, 'SIZE AND SUPERFLUOUS APPLIANCES. After considering these points carefully, we have all purchased REO cars for ourselves and ere now us : ng them in our every-day business, and are njt disappointed in the least. I am too busy to try to give any time to trying to sell cars, but believing that these cars will sell themselves have taken the agency for the REO cars in Adams County, and will be pleased to demonstrate my car while driving in my regular business to any prospective purchasers. The price of the REO TOURING CAR, completely equipped, is $1155.00. THE REO TWO PASSENGER ROADSTER, completely equipped, SIIOO.OO. THE REO MARKET GARDEN TRUC K, $750.00. Call and see me at any time you can catch me in. P-- M. HUBBARD Local Manager Holland St. Louis Sugar Co. Decatur, Indiana.
