Reo the fifth attained its distinction by being a better built car than most
makers think necesRary. Care and caution are carried to extremes. Materials
are bought under specifications, determined by twenty years of experience.
The steel is all made to formula. The gears arc tested in a crushing ma
chine to stand 75,000 pounds per tooth. The springs are tested in a machine
which subjects them to thousands of bendings.
Each driving part must stand the tests of 50 per cent over-capacity. The
builder fixes this as a margin of safety in the cars he makes.
Rco the Fifth, 1914 model is an honest and enduring car. This honesty
and endurance is most apparent in the hidden parts in the steel, the bear
ing, the gears and the forging, lf)0 drop forgings are used in the construc
tion of Reo the Fifth.
The accessibility of the various parts of the engine is a feature of Reo
the Fifth, that is worthy of consideration. This feature is one that will save
hours of time in making engine adjustments.
A centrifugal pump gives a positive circulation and insures proper cool
ing. The brakes -of Heo the Fifth are extra efficient for safety's sake. They
are Ihe double acting, wrapping type. Both are operated by foot pedals so
there are no brake levers in the way of the driver.
Reo the Fifth is electrically lighted throughout.
The design of the body is in accord with the latest mode. It is low-hung
and racy. It has the gondola back. The upholstering is deep and soft. You
will not find a handsomer car than the 1914 Reo the Fifth.
Reo the Fifth, five passenger touring car, fully equipped in every par
ticular, will be sold at $1250 f. o. b. Alliance, a reduction of $220 on last
year's price.
