Reo Breaks Production Record On Thursday, September 30, 1920, this Company broke all its previous production records by building 178 REO cars and Speed-Wagons in a single ten-hour day. In August and September this Company did a larger volume of business than in any previous two months in its history. There is no present indication of any lessening of the demand that made these records possible a fact which is full of significance at this particular time. It means, for .one thing, that -the automobile-buying public is convinced of the soundness and the honesty of our price policy. So far have we avoided profiteering that our percentage of profit per dollar of turnover during the year ending September I, 1920, has been on more than one-half as great as in the year which ended September 1, 1916 our biggest pre-war year.

We shall not betray the confidence that the public has so convincingly shown in us. We shall reduce our prices just as soon as a recession of costs makes such reductions possible

Today, more than ever before, the prospective automobile purchaser should consider carefully the financial stability and probable permanency of the company whose product he buys. We invite t h e most' careful investigation of the record of this Company.

Moreover to purchasers of REO cars or Speed - Wagons after this date, we give this assurance: that in the event of a reduction in our . prices effective between now and April 1, 1921, we shall cheerfully refund the amount of such reduction.
