A totally disinterested statistical firm recently went back into the history of Reo Speed Wagons and checked sales and registration figures together. They found these remarkable facts: On July Ist, 1928, there were 96,481 Reo Speed Wagons registered in the United States. This was 4756 more than had been sold in the United States during the entire 6J years from January 1, 1922, to July 1, 1928. 93.2% of all the Reo Wagons sold in the United States the previous 8£ years were still registered July Ist, 1928. And 50.8% of all Reo Tracks sold since 1913 were still registered on July Ist , 1928. Such a long record is both a tribute and a reward to the pioneering of Reo engineers. For it was Reo, back in the first dark days of truck industry, who first put speed into commercial transportation; first offered trucks equipped V/ith pneumatic tyres; introduced electric starters, lights, among the first hydraulic 4-wheel brakes, and other passenger car features in trucks; pioneered the 6-cylinder idea in this field, balanced weights and other outstanding advancements, which are to-day accepted as matter of course in the industry and have largely been adopted by all builders. Naturally, this foresight made possible such outstanding long-life records as Reo is able to announce to-day. SPEi A. B. DONALD, LTD., Auckland, N.Z. DISTRIBUTORS.
