Reo Sedan, Hriefly stated the Reo Sedan was ‘reated to completely satisfy 90% of all motor car buyers who can afford ‘o invest from one to two thousand dollars in an automobile. It combines -a$ no other car in its price class dues—eye-attracting beauty, fourdoor roominess and convenience, chagsis reliability that. outlasts the ‘peedometer and a price that gives new. meaning to value. . Clean cut distinction in appearance is truly achieved yet without any sacrifice -of those body characteristics that have individualized Reo for several seasons past. : " A silhouette of marked impressiveness and authentic style is dignified by graceful simplicity. Symmetrical proportioning and harmony of line are used instead of sheer flamboyancy to make pride of appearance a permanent element in ownership. Flately paneled body surfaces extend to the cowl and hood, which are shaped and colored to join with the door panels in an unbroken sweep from the radiator completely around the back of the body, and thence to the front again. ~ Co-ordinating in this general scheme is a two-tone color treatment utilized to form a broad belt between the upper and lower body panels, and to accentuate the straight line of the hood and cowl from the top of radiator toithe base of the windshield. A flat moulding forms a sharp separation between the two colors. . v : ;En unobtrusive roundness displaces the customary sharp corner! It is uviﬁent where the side and rear surfaces meet, and where the roof merges wif-t; the back panel. Aangles do not clash with curves at any point. The use of rounded lines shows: in the radiator the hood, the cowl the fenders, the headlights, the wheels and even the hub caps. ' : Stoutly dimensioned and of selected kiln died hardwood, the body frame work is of a standard almost unknown in cars, below the $2OOO class. The use of selected timbers careful joining and exacting inspections is the

And by the knowledge of chassis trueness developed by twenty-one years of ménufacturing fine motor cars.

Now An Enthusiastic Motorist, ’ ] The drama of American transportation has Been enacted within the 90 year life span of Captain Joel Mulecy Hoback, one of the few surviving links between the romantic day of the covered wagon and the medern automobile, a 5 Captain Hoback who formerly drove a covered wagon now is an enthusiastic motorist. v : In 1845 when only 10 years old he drove four yoke of oxen as they plodded slowly westward with a creaking prairie schooner in which he and his parents migrated 150 miles to Winniemac, Indiana then a frontier town. ‘ln crossing the Wabagh river the eight oxen became frigtened, got beyond control of the child driver and lunged away through shoulder-deep water. They nearly upset the wagon but finally returned to the east bank of the river at the battle ground near Lafayette Indiana where Harrison a few years before had defeated a large band of hostile Indians. Today 80 years later Captain Hoback ere?ts alert and with the clear eve of the frontiersman is enjoying transportation of a far differnt type. After hestitating for 10 years ‘to tackle the new fangled gasoline rigs’ he has purchased a Chevrolet touring car. “Goes like a scairt rabbit” said Captain Hoback. “Easy to drive too, I thought a body had to be pretty good with machinery to handle a car. Mebbe that was true way back when I first started to hanker after a car when I was only 80 years old but it shorely isn’t true now. I missed a lot of fun by waiting so long.” Captain Hoback drives frequently in the vicinity of Britton, Qklahoma where he now resides. He has built a garage for the car. The Captain rents out the largef arm which he homesteaded after joining the land rush from Oklahoma City in 1889. ~ “I had been prosperous and successful in Indiana and later Arkansas he explained “I owned two saw mills and a planing mill, but lost them during the Cleveland administration. I went to Fort Smith Arkansas. Learning of the proclamation opering land in Oklahoma I walked from Fort Smith to Oklahoma City. My dog Old Pal, went with me. I was broke, but that didn’t matter to Old Pal, It took us neraly 10 days. We lived off the country, Antelope and deer were as thick as crows in a cornfield. “During the excitement of the land rush I lost my Old Pal. A man offered me a ride in a wagon. Oold Pal was standing nearby when the whistle blew as a signal ‘that the rush was on. Guns were fired, everybody shouted and lashed their horses. The long race over the prairie was very thrilling. 1 staked one of the most valuable farms in the state but I lost old Pal. ;

“That was loeng ago and of course he’s dead now’’ the old man added wistfully. “But I wonld give the whol

powerful car of its size and weight according to the official ratings of the Society of Automotive Engineers. It has ample power to meet every need. Silent, smooth power—for the Studebaker crankshaft is machined on all surfaces to give perfect engine balance, reduce vibration to a minimum and thereby prolong the life of the engine. , Studebaker vital parts are not only designed together—but they are Unit-Built in Studebaker’s own plants. Built as a unit—naturally every Studebaker functions as a unit, a perfectly coordinated whole. - The result is scores of thousands of miles excess transportation. As proof—Studebakers, all over the world, are rolling up mileage records well over the hundred-thousand-mile mark—at a minimum of expense and attention. : ' The value of the Standard Six Sedan— or of any Studebaker car is stabilized by the Studebaker policy of “no yearly models.” Instead of annual changes, Studebaker cars are kept constantly up-to-date. This eliminates the artificial depreciation resulting from spectacular “annual announcements.” | POWER , Based on official ratings of the Society of Automotive Engineers, the Studebaker Stan, dard Six Engine is the most powerful motor used in any car of the size and weight of the Standard Six. Thirty 5-passenger enclosed cars with considerably less power than the Standard Six Sedan ($1395) cost from $3O to $1905 more. ‘, _ - Studebaker Standard Six Sedan N, A. C. C, or S. A. E. horsepower rating is 27.33 and is priced at $1396 for wool trimmed model. Trimmed in mohair it lists at $lOO more. . Studebaker has made it possible for any dealer to sell any Studebaker model on a liberal Budget Payment Plan. Only a small down payment is necessary the remainder may be paid in convenient monthly payments.

" The Most Advanced AttainmentsIn Radlo - o The new Magnavax models - here presented set the pace in radio accomplishment with single dial control—amazing tone quality—perfected circuits—exclusive designs. If you are one who has waited for radio to be perfected you can buy a Magnavox with assurance of lasting satisfactiom. The new Magnavox line is mot only the product of master radio engineers but of leading radio mercharcdisers, . These men who annually invest millions of their own money in radio are -the world’s best judges of radio value, They have approved every detail of the Magnavox line. All Magnavox sets are operated withonly one dial, This means any station you want at a flick of the fingers. It takes just half the time of a two dial set, just & third the time of a three dial set, You can depend upon the most precise tuning with single dial control, This tuning is done at the factory by & “tuning meter’ which is easily a thousand times more sensitive than than the human ear. Magnavox ecircuits are then geared to operate in exact unison so that they are forever in/ perfect resonance. Nothing is left to the inaccuracies of the ear. Im~agine having to tnne & piano every time you play it, That, in effect is what you have to do with receiving sets having more than one dial, The new Magnavox Cabinets are exclusive creations of period furniture designers. These cabinets are made in mahongany with enduriag dwil -piano finish—a harmonious addition to the mogt exquisitely furnished draw ing room. Magnavox tone quality in these new receiving sets is superlatively natural. Every sound every overtone every voice -modulation comes to you a 8 rich and resonant as delivered before the microphone. To further reduce vibration and interfering noises the Magnavox detector socket is mounted on cushion' rubber, Selectivity and sensitivity are greatly increased in the new sets. Distant station reception comes right through local stations, clean as a whistle and in ample volume. The calibrated dial further speeds tuning —all you have to know is the wave length of a station and you can tune in instantly. - An interchangeable drawer. houses the radio eircuit. It cah be easily removed and transported. All Magnavox sets operate with outside -aerial. It has been proved conclusively that they are most satis- ‘ factory in gsecuring volume. and distance. : 1
