C., Nov. 24. 1917. Editor The People, Barnwell S. C. . Dear Sir:— ♦ . * . ~' We beg to advise that the advertisement published in your paper for the past few weeks has been instrumental in selling four Reo Automobiles for us, and we take pleasure in endorsing The People as an advertising medium. As we are expecting_a carjpad of Reo’s thia week and have a*i- other oar nt tiamil, urmiff ffUlnrto ask your further ( these automobiles by publishing the enclosed specifications of the celebrated REO SIX. Cordially yours, I Mathis £ Martin, by C. H. Mathis. •rn The GOLD STANDARD OF VALUES 60 HORSE POWER. Six cylinder tor cast in threat.

MOTOR BEARINGS—even main crank-shaft bearings—adjustable from the outside. 50 PER CENT OVERSIZE in all vital “ parts—crank-shaft, axles, ’driving shafts, gears, frame, wheels, tire. Price is F. O. B. Lansing and the spec ial Federal Tax must be added. But the Final Answer Is—Upkeep irs ALL RIGHT to exploit the a peed pnaaibilttiex of a car. ITS PERMISSIBLE to extol ito wonderful “pick-up” and ac celeration. ITS PERFECTLY PROPER to prove by any kind of stunt you choose that it will climb a hill, though nobody doubted ita ability in any one of these directions. DEMONSTRATIONS of power and of prowean; feat* of en durance ; ami spectacular per formances of a momentary na ture are legitimate. BUT AFTER ALL what do such freak teats prove aa to the ac tual staying qualities of the car? AND ABOVE ALL. what do they prove on the very subject in which yoirare most inter- ^ ested—cost of upkeep over a long period of years? WE COULD AN* IF WE would, write a volume—yes a library —on the subject of perfor mance of this Reo Six in all ‘phases of automobile activity. WE COULD TELL YOU, not of one, but of scores of Reo Six es that have crossed the con tinent, with ail the feats of mountain climbing, and trail following as well as of speed and mud plugging that trip entails. BUT WE DON’T consider that important. To a Reo it is about as difficult as is your daily journey to the barn. WHAT WOULD IT I*ROVE? Nothing. BUT WHEN OWNERS say that this Reo Six costs less, year in and year out for upkeep- repairs and replacements as well as gasoline and oil and tires—than any other six of equal size and power with which they have had experi ence—that doe* prove *ome- thing. IT SHOULD INDICATE to you that a six so built must be ca pable of any feat or test that anv sane owner would ever call upon his Car to perform. AND THAT IS THE FACT— ask any Reo owner. YOUR ORDER should be placad De ni BM st once if you would secure a Reo Six of present quality and at the present price. JANUARY FIRST there*will be a substantial increase in price of this Reo Six—increased cost of materials and manu facture render it impossible longer to make this car at this price. SO ONLY ORDERS for delivery prior to and including Decem ber 31st will be filled at the present price. SEE YOUR REO dealer at once. Place your order and obtain what is veritably a gold dol lar for ninety cents. REG'S:—FOURS AND SIXES, TOURING CARS AND ROAD STERS. ALSO */4 AND 2-TON TRUCKS. C. H. MATHIS, Blackville, S. C.
