This guy or gentleman, whichever he happened to be at the time, was also a pencil maker lie saw the blunders of the world. Fat down and scratched his head. He was digging for something, and it wasn't seborrhoea that he was digging into, either. "Well, after a little digging out popped a rubber. He took this piece of rub

ber and placed it on the end of a pencil. And since that time the rubber on the end of pencils has been working overtime preventing mistakes on the part of the careless. Mistakes In driving can be rxeventlng mistakes.

NEW JREO 5rPASSENGER SEDAN 1885

Built and Priced to Establish a New High Standard of Sedan Value

ENDURING steel pancling covers a sturdy frame work of selected hardwood, braced with drop forgings and fitted to foil the ravages of time and travel. The body interior is pleasingly attractive. The dignity of straight lines from front to rear is preserved; but the introduction of quiet curves serves to prevent any suggestion of severity. Inherent good taste prevails in the low-hung body, in the disc steel wheels, in the modishly fashioned headlights and innumerable other marks of refinement. Window glass of unusual clearness silently slides in feltlined channels: all except the rear window which rests in a setting of soft rubber. Thus is quietness pre-determined. Inside is seen a true example of how eye-pleasing end bodyresting comfort are completely embodied when master coachbuilders do their best.

The seat cushions and formfitting backs are unstinted in their use of coiled springs, curled hair and wadding Over them is a heavy woolen body cloth, smoothly soft to the touch but of leather-like wearing qualities. - Body longevity is definitely promoted through the shockabsorbing design of the doubleframed chassis. Radiator, engine, clutch and transmission are suspended in an inner frame, cradled within the outer member. Thus the weight of these units, instead of bein superimposed at one point of the main frame, is distributed over half its length. Fifty horse-power is developed by the famous Reo 6cylinder motor, offering en abundance of speed and stamina for highway or byway. Whether high-gearing through city traffic, or bucking the sand and gumbo of the transcontinental run. the Reo owner is calmly confident of power a-plenty.
