Dealer organization has been with us from the hrst
Many of the principal REQ dealers have sold Reos
exclusively ever since the first REQ was made.
WELL, THIS SEASON WE WERE confronted with a
problem-price competition to extent greater than
ever before.
OUR DEALERS INSISTED that, even though fortified
with REQ quality and prestige, still they could not
wholly ignore price competition.
WE CoNTENDED that price did not matter that it
fooled no one-or at most only small percentage of
buyers and they not the most desirable
WE SHOWED THEM that the cost of making Reos
could not be materially essened without reducing the
quaity-and plan to improve the quality
wherever and whenever possible.
WHY WE REQ FOLK wouldn't want to be in business
five couldn't feel could make better this year
than last; next year than this!
WE SET OUR OWN STANDARDS and will always
ignore those of others-at least when they trend
downward.
BUT THEY PROTESTED that the average buyer saw
only the price tag. That while he the reduction
in price, he did not notice the reduction in quality
in value So they wanted competitive price on
Reos as well as REQ quality in the product.
THERE WAS ONLY ONE WAY it could be done
that the dealers would agree to handle REQ
a smaller margin of profit than is the rule with
other We told them if they would agree that
could set price on REQ cars that would create
genuine sensation.
AND THEY Agreed 1t is an Unprecedented action
believe And that the hundreds of REQ Distributors
assented the plan due to another unique condi
namely the extremely low cost of selling and Of
giving service REQ
A CANVASS SHOWED this remarkable fact That the
average cost of the dealers guarantee on REQ
the cost of keeping it in perfect running order and its
buyer thoroughly satsfedwas less than six dollars
per per yearl
JUST COMPARE THAT with the cost of maintaining
some makes of carsl
WHY, ONE OF OUR DEALERS who handled two
other lines last season-but who says, most emphatic
ally, he will handle Reos exclusively hereafter-tes
that the average cost to him per of
those lines 500 and on the other S4o-while REQ
averaged in his case S4.75 per per yeari
AND THAT WASN'T ALL. The factor that REQ
Distributors consider most important is the customer
satisfied or the reverse For you must know that
running he still could not keep the man to whom he
had sold that car satished-not by taking it
back and standing the full loss ITSELF
HE COULD NOT REIMBURSE him in dollars for
the delays the disappontments and the aggravatons
he had suffered.
so REoS WILL BE SOLD in the future on lesser
margin from the dealer to user land factory margin

automobile in the same class or of higher price
AND YOU AS REQ BUYER get the full benefit.

NO HARD TIMES SIGNS IN
WASHINGTON SCHOOL BANK
Deposits Have Increased Steadily in the Three Years of Its
Existence, and This Morning Third Branch Will Be
Opened in Harrison BUILDING

There Is at least one financial institu-
ton in America that has faced I'M
Iuffed whatever of business depression
may have been brought on by the war
in Europe. and that is the Washington
High School Bank.
While New York society women are
pawninG their heirlooms to relieve tinan-
Ciat embarrassment and various COM
mercial concerns are discussing retrench-
ment and economies. the High School
Bank is bent on expansion. And just to
prove that its members have no time to
listen to hard-times jeremiades. it will
open third branch this morning in the
Harrison School.
No Signs of Hard Times.
NO. We haven't seen any indications
Of hard times here" said Charles Hart
head of the department of business prac-
tice in the Washington Business High
School and supervising manager of the
bank system. AT this moment our net
deposits are within 500 of what they
Were year ago. During the three years
of its existence the bank has shown a
steady. consistent growth. If war times
have affected this growth at all, the eff
feet has not been appreciable.''
An eXampl" of the activity Of the bank
ing system is afforded by its records COW
erinS the past three weeks. At the Will
son Normal go members deposited 500 in
less than month. In the same period
l0i pupils in the Grover Cleveland School
deposited $50. During its first year thu
Washington Business High School, which
is the central unit in the system, re-
ceived deposits aggregating $1,000: the
second year the total was 81, 600. and in
the third year 81. 900. or nearly twice the
amount of the first years business. The
highest net amount on deposit at any
one time was $500. These figures do not
include transactions at the branches.
1t is the ambition of the school authori-
ties to work out system simple enough
to make banking feasible in all the pub
lie schools in the District This could be
done without difficulty If they permitted

Banking Habit Cultivated.
I'VE want the students to acquire the

our deposits ever so large, the plan would
not be a success unless the pupils re-
ceived thorough training in business
efficiency and responsibility The value
of the bank should be measured in terms
of business ideals acquired not in dollars
and cents. For this reason we are not
enthusiastic over the suggestion recently
made that the banking system should be
affiliated with the Postal Savings Banks -
One valuable feature of the banking
system is that it, members come into
personal touch with statesmen, profess
siOnal financiers and businessmen. These
men give talks at the monthly meetings
and give the students a keener percep-
ton of business methods and ideals than
could be acquired in any other way. A
recent meeting was addressed by Carter
Glass, author of the currency bill

confronting ii. all of which are press
ing for an early solution.
Troubles from without.
Two come from without. and two
may be termed internal troubles
which may prove none the less pain
full and troublesome. The first is the
menace to our cordial relations with
Germany. arising from the German
Admiralty's own warning that within
this war zone neutral vessels may be
exposed to danger and cannot al
ways be prevented from suffering
from the attacks intended for the
enemy'-also that it may not be al
ways possible to save their crews
and passengers.
I'm view of these very frank and
explicit warnings il is clear that some
incident of a startling character may
at any moment involve an American
ship entering the English Channel or
the North Sea after February Is next.
AS the laws of nations for several
centuries have forbidden any abridge-
ment of freedom of the high seas; as
the ocean lanes of commerce must always
be kept open to neutral shipping for the
benefit of both belligerents and neutral
1t naturally creates a sharp and serious
situation when such highways Of mari
time commerce as the English Channel

to neutral shipping. and it is 20 be
expected that strenuous and ever indig-
nant protests TO the German proclama-
ton may be registered by the neutral
nations whose shipping will he affected

the state Of mind of the nations will
be improved.
Our second difficulty is with Great
Britain, growing out of her use of our
flags. For the use of neutral flags by
belllgerents. in special emergencies, there
seems to be ample precedent. But the
habitual use of the American flag by
any belligerent would certainly leopard
ize our shipping to a serious extent and
should not be countenanced: hence the
, friendly but firm protest of the State De-
partment to Great Britain, Of February
10. What answer the respective govern
ments Of Germany and Great Britain
will make to our official protests re-
mains to be seen.
Our third and fourth problems both
arise from protests at home. The first
come from American manufacturers and
shippers who complain of the constant
interference with neutral cargoes by
Great Britain. The Dacia and the Will
helmna furnish each a case in point.
Both of these ships sailed under Ameri
can registry and the American flag. The
Dacia, We are told. to make assurance
doubly sure. sailed under two flags. one
at the stem. the other at the stern. And
each ship claims to be carrying a cargo
that Is noncontraband-the Dacia a cargo
OF cotton, the Wilhelmina of foodstuffs.
Each cargo. it is known. is intended
eventually for the consumption of Ger
man civilians. Yet Great Britain seiZes
both on the contention that they are
contraband.
Germany charges: Your action is un
lawful. Your purpose is to 'starve us
out Hence we retaliate. After Feb
ruary is we shall sink every ship of COM
merce bringing supplies to You that We
can destroy. Take warming
shippers Are Anxious.
Meantime our own shippers ask our
government who is to protect US? What
are you going to do about it, And this
constitutes difficulty number three for
that unfortunate old gentleman famil-
iarly known as Uncle Sam
Ills fourth problem arises from the
discomfort and indignant protests of that
large and forcefu element in our midst,
known as our Gcrman-American breth-
rem, who loudly complain, and even
threaten political reprisals, because of
what they call lack of neutrality and
fair play generally toward the father
land-becauSe our poor old uncle can't
deliver the goods to Germany that our
shippers would gladly sell to that Coun-
try. Also because the further sale Of
arms and ammunition to any one is not
prohibited forthwith. Verify. tho lot of
the pilots of our ship of State in these
days is not a happy one"
