eo's Golden Opportunity

AND SO WE HAVE NO APOLOGIES to
make even to those friends to whom we sold
10000 Reos last season. Nor for statement
that we made in the best of falkland must
now contradict in the same good faith.
FOR IN GIVING OUR CUSTOMERS the full
benefit of the REQ purchasing power instead
Of retaining the former price and taking the
additional profit ourSelves-we are only carry
ing out that policy which, adhered to from the
first, has placed the REQ Motor Car Company
in the splendid position it occupies today.
SPEAKING OF POLICY-let us correct an
impression that we know is abroad
OUR FRIENDS CRITICIZE US at times for
what they call our ''ultra-conservatism,
ABOUT THE ONLY COMPLAINT we ever
hear from REQ dealers is that we are too modest
in setting forth the merits Of the REQ product,
WELL. PERHAPS THAT is TRUE--if adj
herence to the strict truth in our ads; if a de-
termination not to be carried away by the
mania for mere quantities; if we prefer to be
second in numbers Of cars produced that we
may be first il qualty-if these be indications
of ''ultra-conservatisfn why then we plead
guilty.
BUT OUR FRIENDLY CRITICS must con-
cede that that Conservative REQ policy has
produced tremendous results. NOl0 the state
nent in the third paragraph of this adj
WE DON'T CALL IT that, however We call
it conservatism militant. Aggressive con-
servatism Alert conservatism. Being sure
absolutely sure-we are right, then going ahead
unfalteringly -irresistibly
DOESN'T THE. VERY FACT that we were
financially able to and did take advantage of
condition that we knew was transtory; and
the further fact that having bought better, we
instantly offered the better values to REQ
buyers-doesnt that look like militant rather
than ultra" conservatism?
WE THINK SO--and SO we leave the case in
your hands.

History of Salem Eventfui

Salem is the oldest city in Mas
sachusetts. 1t was settled in 1926, only
six Years after the Pilgrims made
their landing at Plymouth.
1t will live forever in American
history as the scene of the terrible
Witchcraft craze, a species of super
stitious madness which had its storm
centec there in the year 1892.
In that year there occurred in Sa-
lem q regular epidemic of witch mani
festations and accusations.
The beginning of the craze was
traced to a party of girls who were
seized with spasms and who claimed
that they were bewitched. They ac-
cused an old East Indian servant and
two other women.
These women were brought to trial
amid the most intense excitement.
Whether or not there were some per
sons who were really guilty of exert
ing an influence over the young girls
something like which today would be
called hynotic influence, it was clear
that most of the suspects were en-
tirely innocent.
As a result of public clamor and
excitement repeated arrests were
made, and before the madness died
out fourteen women and five men
we're hanged and hundreds were ar
rested and thrown into prison.
1t was only when the afflicted
girls attempted to accuse citizens OF
unimpeachable standing that then
wild accusations finally became dis
credited.
Another of Salem's claims to dis
tinction is that Nathaniel Haw
thorne wrote "The Scarlet Letter
there.
Salem became "a great commercial
port during the eighteenth century
and was one of the most important
shipping points in the entire thirtee'
lcolonies. 1t took an exceptionally
active part in the war Of the Revolu
ton, and also in the war agains
England in 1872, and the seamer
trained in the Salem nursery of tn
American marine were found on al
the warships of the little American
nation.
