run was conducted as a test to deter

THE results show that an average
speed of % miles per hour was main
tanned for 1882 hours with a gasoline
consumption of 24.39 miles per gallon.
The average consumption of cylinder
oil was 430 miles per quart, and of

radiator averaged 1870 degrees even

and the exhaust was conducted from

AT the end of the run the motor
was torn down. The wear on the
crank shaft and cam bearings was five

were a surprise. The intake valves
; were still bright and needed no grind

Market Street Bridge Has
Strength and Smoothness

Visiting motorists often Express sur
prise at the asphalt roadway on the
Market street bridge. OF course as
phalt is the ideal surface for any
bridge, although it is much more ex-
pensive than any other roadway as to
first cost. But the expense is not the
reason that few bridges have asphalt.
1t requires a very strong bridge to
carry such a roadway, which is aid
on plates supported by steel joists, and
Is calculated to last as long as the
bridge.
In this connection it is interesting to
note that the Market street bridge has
never been closed for repairs in the
last ten years, except for the paving of
the island roadway, which was finished
in eight and one-half working days.
And last month the whole roadway
was put in excellent condition in two
and one-half days, without interfering
with Observation-Disclosures.

Tremendous Demand ReOs
Enjoy is Due to Superior
REQ Quality
That the demand for REQ cars is excessive, is
but natural: we expect it; REQ quality
the wonderful values represented IN the two
models justified us in expecting a demand for
all the ReOs we could hope to make even in our
25 acre model REQ factory.
We anticipated itinsofar as was possible last winter
by enlargement Of the plants and installation of
more than half a million dollars worth of
new automatic machinery. y
That the demand is in excess of supply-so that ~
only those who appreciate the situation and order
early can hope to get a REQ for early de1ivery-is due
to the fact that buyers have come to realize the
relative values of ReOs and other cars selling at
similar prices but lacking REQ quality or reputation.
In other words, REQ is only reaping the reward of
merit realizing on REQ foresight, plans well laid,
1nteu1gently ana honestly carried out.
It is good to know that buyers do appreciate
differences in values, that automobile buyers have M
standards by which to judge values that are so
accurate as to be almost infallibe.
During the past three months
the REQ percentage of increase in sales
has surpassed that of any other make of car
in same power and price class.
That is a wonderful showing.
And, could we have supplied all who wanted
Reos, the figures would have been multiplied.
AS it is the big REQ plants are running full force
and a night shift, in efforts to supply the demand
for REQ the Fifth "the Incompatible Four and
the New REQ Six-the Six Sensation of the year.
We are not, however, losing sight even for a moment
of the fact that REQ policy says:
Every car that leaves the REQ plants must be
fully up to the REQ standard Of excellence
So if you are not able to get REQ when you want it,
it will be only because of your own hardness
