Vim Truck for Every Use Has Been Provided A rather impressive conception of the various uses made of light motor trucks by the business world of today is brought out by a pamphlet printed by the manufacturers of the Vim truck. The truck, as the manufacturers think of it, is the chasis, and the mere mention of a Vim truck doesn't signify much about the body design. There are twelve distinct body de signs shown in the Vim catalogue one for most every need. To give an idea of the scope of th truck manufactures line one must include the taxicab, passenger 'bus, fire apparatus, undertaker's hearse, salesman's delivery car, mail wagon and several styles of open and enclosed truck bodies.

Emmet Pearson, 23 years old. 1747 South Forty-eighth street, sold for less than half their value, police assert, sev eral hundred dollars worth of dry goods while employed as a salesman by the M. E. Smith company, whole sale dry goods dealer. As a result, Pearson, who during his five years as an employe of the concern worked his way up from of fice boy to salesman, is held for in vestigation at the city jail, and. it is said, has confessed to his part in the conspiracy. In addition to the two South Side merchants, Pearson's sweetheart, a clerk in a local department store, profited to the extent of about $150 in clothes, police say, as the result of the young salesman's operations. Pearson himself received only $17 for his efforts. Suspicion fell on Pearson, it is said, November 1, when an inventory! taken by the company disclosed a shortage of $6,000 in the stock on his! floor. Detectives were put to work i in the building and irregularities, po- j lice assert, were traced to Pearson. Pearson, however, stoutly denies that he disposed of that amount of goods. In Ins contession to the police Pearson is said to have told of hav ing been approached by the two merchants, who told him they would give him handsome tips if he would give them "bargains." Attracted by this otter, 1'earson would mark down the price of goods to a minimum. This minimum price would be paid gM ssssasssa mtmm mmmm sstsasg j Perry Lock j : Steering Wheel ! I a positive I !

So it is with the Reo success. The Reo has no peer or near com petitor until you go beyond the thousand-dollar mark. Then the comparisons lie in favor of th'e Reo because it represents an honest value, shorn of all extravagances and unnecessary finery. That is not to say that Reo models are in the least incomplete. They are complete in every detail. They have every necessary refinement and necessity to extreme comfort. We extend the heartiest of New Year's - greetings to our friends and friends to be, and in this connection we ask you to consider the deep meaning of success. It means that we have satisfied our customers. We have suc ceeded and we hope and know that 1917 will bring greater success and many new Reo friends. We want to number you among Reo friends.

YOU know that no matter what you buy, or where you buy it whether you take it home or have it sent you pay for having it sent home. Sometimes it costs more than the article is worth to deliver it some times a mere fraction of the value the charge depends altogether on what the merchant knows about the cost of his delivery service. The Retail Stores of this country deliver four times as many packages as are handled by all railroad and steamship lines put together. 447,1 16 merchants and trades men, there are two million farmers and rracfe growers who have the delivery problem to solve. Whether by team and wagon, by second hand or converted pleasure car, or by the heavy motor-truck teaming, hauling and package delivery are costing the people of America twice as much as they should. One great department store pays over $4,000,000 a year for package delivery and finds that $3,000,000 goes just to drive the dead weight of its heavy trucks. Another department store goes to the other extreme uses light pleasure cars with wagon bodies; and finds that the inevitable overloading cuts down the life of the cars and causes constant replacement. Makeshift methods are always a Pays a pleasure car designed to carry five pass engers with at most 750 lbs. live load, cannot be loaded day after day to 1,000 lbs. dead weight and more without giving out He must know that the heavy truck, with its 4,000 or 5,000 lbs. dead weight cannot be practical for light package delivery. The problem of efficient package delivery is the problem of handling a load of 1 ,000 lbs. There is not a delivery car in the market that will do this so efficiently as the VIM Delivery Car the first car designed specifically for this service. The VIM Delivery Car is produced by men who know more about this package-delivery problem than any other group of men in the country. It has three years' record of most astonishing efficiency. Its capacity 1,000 pounds delivering its loads with a remarkable economy in gasoline, a high all-'round efficiency easy to handle and no time lost in fussing and "regulating." Twenty Thousand Merchants have made their VIM Delivery Car Pay for Themselves These men are buying on our deferred payment plan. Their savings and the increased radius of doing business with a VIM are paving for the car. The same proposition is available to every live merchant and business man in America.
