“Oh! You’ll Get There All Right 
—With That Reo!” 
A CERTAIN LADY—you know a large 
percentage of Reo' owners and drivers are 
women—a certain Reo Lady was making a 
long, cross-country trip accompanied by 
three other ladies. 
WEATHER WAS AWFUL—no other word 
would describe it. Roads accordingly. 
AT MANY PLACES there were detours 
where modem roads were being built. 
YOU KNOW THE KIND—a mile to the 
south, then a mile to the west, north a 
mile again to the main road. 
HEAVY TRAFFIC on what was never a 
road, but only a trail, cut ruts hub-deep 
in the slippery clay and sticky mud. 
AND IN THE RUTS were chuck-holes 
that, concealed from view by mud and 
slush, had to be ever guarded against. 
TO HIT ONE at speed were to throw the 
passengers out of the seats. To drive at 
more than a snail’s pace were to take risks. 
TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE, she 
frequently had to drive off the road and 
into the ditch in order to pass other cars 
that were hopelessly stalled. 
AT TIMES OUR LADY was dismayed by 
the look of things ahead, and as she plowed 
through, drip-pan awash and gears in low, 
she would stop and ask other wayfarers 
if it was any worse ahead. 
INVARIABLY—so fond are most folk 
of imparting bad news!—they would say, 
4 ‘Oh, yes—what you have gone through is 
good beside that next clay hill!” 
THEN, CRITICALLY LOOKING at the 
car, the informant would exclaim confi¬ 
dently, “But you’ll get through all right— 
with that Reo!” 
EVERY ONE SHE ASKED knew the Reo 
on sight—and every one voiced the con¬ 
viction that, with her Reo, she’d get 
through all right regardless of how great 
the distance or how bad the roads. 
AND SHE DID, which is merely to chron¬ 
icle what every Reo owner knows and 
every owner of every other car concedes. 
YOU’LL ALWAYS GET THROUGH— 
if you have a Reo. 
‘THERE ARE LOTS of good automobiles 
—but the man who owns a Reo is lucky.”
