Money He Deposited
In Sutherland Bank
I '''0''
Alleging that officers and agents
of the Sutherland State bank of Suth
erland, Neb., induced htm to purchase
stock in the bank when they knew taht
the Institution was insolvent, Fred
Piefson has filed suit witli the clerk
of the district court against John W.
Welpton, who is said to have held all
of the stock in the bank in question,
asking $36,275,85, with interest at 7
per cent, dating from January 1, 1913.
Pierson states in his petition that
the condition of the bank was fraud
ulently, and falsely represented and
that the officers induced him to pur
chase stock, the plaintiff bcliaving
that the sums he deposited in the
institution at different times would
place it in a sound and healthy con
dition. According to Pierson, he
knew nothing about the banking busi
ness, but took the word of the men
who induced him to buy stock.

taneouily the starting device,

made Inoperative at the game
. time that the transmission
gears are locked in neutral po
sition. And to make assurance
trebly sure, the floor boards
are locked down so it la imp je
st bic to get at Ue parts.
Here's That Reo
One-Rod Control
EASE OF OPERATION it one of the cardinal qualities of Reo the Fifth
"The Incomparable Four."
THAT QUALITY, perhaps more than any other,, commends this car to
women. I '
YOU SEE THE PROOF of this in the crawhelrning percentage of women
who drive Reo can as compared with those who drive others.
BUT THAT SAME quality ease of operation is responsible for many other
things that only owners of Reo the Fifth cars fully appreciate. '
FOR, NO MATTER how expert you may be in handling a car in clutch
control and gear ahifting nevertheless you do mist once in a while, you
know.
AND THE DAMAGE to your pride and your nerves is only a small part of
the real damage that which has resulted from the clashing of gear teeth
and shock to bearings and other parts will ahow up later in the repair shop
and the maintenance bill. . ,
THAT REO CONTROL the original "one rod" control; the original "center
control" is the biggest money saver the Reo engineers have ever been
able to offer Reo buyers.
THE VERY FACT that instead of two hand levers,' there is only one in
Reo the Fifth, is important one hand on the wheel, the other on the con
trol, gives you confidence and vastly simplifies the operation.
WE'LL TELL YOU in the next ad, how the two feet control both brakes
and the clutch thus nuking these Reos the simplest cars to operate and
control ever known.
BUT THERE'S ANOTHER fact that is not so apparent on the surface;
one that all engineers appreciate and most owners; but one the buyer does
not always grasp beforehand.
LIKE MANY OTHER BIO FACTS about Reo the Fifth, this is fully appre
ciated only after a few months of ownership.
THAT IS THE CO-RELATION of all the parts in that Reo clutch and
transmission.
PERHAPS THE MOST DIFFICULT as well as the nicest engineering 1
problem in the design of a motor car is working out that relation between
1 the various elements of a transmission the gear ratios, relative weights,
speeds and "retarding influences" that result in silent (which means harm
less) gear shifting.
THE REO ENGINEERS have done all your gear shifting for you in designing
Reo the Fifth. It is scarcely necessary for you to think just move the
tingle lever to the position indicated on the index plate and without a sound,
the right pair of gears slip in place.
SILENCE MEANS absence of shock to the gears; absence of undue strain
to shafts; absence of injury to bearings.
ALL THESE YOU GET in Reo the Fifth "The Incomparable Four" known
the world over aa "the simplest car to control."
AND AS WE'VE shown, the same engineering that has produced that result
that you can see, aleo produces another that you don't find out till later
(unless you talk with an owner of Reo the Fifth), namely, that this is also
the cheapest car of its size in the world to operate and maintain.
THE PRICE IS STILL $875 f. o. b. factory, Lansing, Michigan, despite the
present higher cost of both labor and materials.
IF WE FOLLOWED the policy of others, and took advantage of the over
demand for this popular model, the price would be at least J200 more
or the quality that much less.
BUT THAT ISNT THE REO WAY. We still incorporate Reo quality;
we still put "50 per cent overtime in all vital parts" and as long as we
can do to, will absorb the difference in cost, rather than increase the price.
BUT THAT ISN'T to be taken as a promise that the price of this "Incom
parable Four" will always remain at J875. It may be absolutely necessary
to raise it.
BUT MEANTIME, if your order is in you will get your Reo the Fifth at the
present price and just now we can give you a fairly prompt delivery.
