Eventually They'll All Follow Reo Leadership

m CALIFORNIA where there are more motor vehicles per capita than in any other states IX IS ILLEGAL to drive a motor truck unless equipped with electric starter and lights and a windshield. THOSE FEATURES that were first incorporated in a motor truck by Reo and which were flouted and ridiculed by others as superfluous, ore now given recognition legally as well as morally and commercially. JUST CONSIDER how the chances of accidents and consequent damage suits are lessened by electric lights on a motor truck. EQUALLY PROTECTIVE to the driver is the electric starter broken hands and wrists never threaten a driver of a Reo ''Speed Wagon. AND THE CLEAR-VISION, rainvision windshield also first applied to a motor truck by Reo is also invaluable in protecting pedestrians and the driver and the owner i gainst accidents in stormy weather.

WE HAVE OFTEN rolled vour attention to the time-saving value of these distinctly Reo features. BUT NOW the State of California has recognized their tremendous importance in its "Safety First" legislation by forcing less progressive makers to adopt these three Reo features. OUR ONLY PROBLEM at this time is to get enough"Speed Wagons" to supply all who insist on having Reos. NOTWITHSTANDING Reo ia today the largest manufacturer cf motor trucks in the world, still the supply is inadequate to meet the demand. ONLY WAY is to pi ace your order now get in line for an early delivery if you'd have a Reo. AND REMEMBER if it isn't a Reo it isn't a "Speed Wagon." This is the original why accept an imita tion or a substitute?
