Consulting the Convenience
and Comfort of the Driver

REQ was also the pioneer in mount
ing this ''Speed Wagon" on Pneu-
mates, not even allowing the
option Of solid tires.
The extent to which these two
features are now being copied is
another tribute to REQ foresight
and another endorsement of REQ
progressiveness.
The final reason why your driver
willprefera REQ is the well-nown
quality, the sturdiness and the re-
liability of the Reoproduct.
$50 per cent. oversize in all vital
parts Is his guarantee against
troubles and delays as it Is yours
against upkeepcost.
So, inasmuch as you would retain
the best drivers and the good
ones can always have their choice
of the best jobs-is it not good
policy to consult his preference in
this matter2
In the designing and in the making
of this REQ Speed Wagon" we
have devoted much attention to
the convenience and the comfort
of the driver. For you and he
are seeking the same thing though
from different angles.
You desire greater efficiency with
low upkeep-give him the things
he desires and he will deliver that
which you are seeking.

Leave to your best driver the
decision as to which Motor Truck
you shall buy, and we will rest our
case on the certainty that he will
nominate REQ "Speed Wagon"
There are several excellent reasons
why the man of actual, intimate
experience will 80 decide.
First-yes, frstEbecause we use
Marshall springs in the seat cush-
ions-the kind found in the best
makes of automobiles, which "a
cludes REQ Motor Cars Of course.
Does that sound extravagant?
Then Just consider that the truck
driver spends more hours in the
seat Of his truck than do you or
your chauffeur in your automobile,
and those times are his periods of
rest between the heavy work of
loading and delivering.
We said crest" and the term is
justified by the well-known sim
plicity of control of all Reos.
That's his second reason for select
ing this Speed Wagon"
Electric starting and lights is a
third reason and a vitality i'm
portant one in his opinion.
This REQ "Speed Wagon" was the
first motor truck of its capacity
in which these features were in
corporated as standard equipment.
