Oil stove cooking is the recog
nized hot weather method. Hot
days demand the least heat pos
sible at meal time and this is the
best method.
This three-burner and oven range co oks and bakes as fast as a~gas range. It
? is built compact, with glass oven door, drip pan under burners, large roomy
? cooking top and high shelf. An additional advantage is the high base which
permits easy sweeping under the stove.

Announcing a New
Reo Model
A
bearing the
i;ather than
models have
You are accustomed to look upon a motor car
name REO as something substantially standard
novel. In the long history of this company REO
been to build, not something dif ferent, but something better. The
splendid reputation of the REO product enjoys is largely the re
sult of that policy.
Insofar as the science has advanced and REO engineering has
kept pace, we believe you will find this a better REO. You will
find in this new model those features ardently desired by many
REO distributors and a large percentage of the select REO clein
tele.
The motor is a SIX. Call it a "light six" if the term pleases you.
We maintain, however, that beyond a certain point, lightness is
incompatible with longevity a;4 LOW UP KEEP. Too many
ears are light to the point of fli msiness. REO designed, the di
mensions of'this new SIX guarantee that surplus power you have
learned to expect in a REO.
Clean-cut in design, rugged in construction, it possesses at the
same time great flexibility and great "lugging" power. Outward
ly it is entirely different?but close examination will disclose a
pleasing rearrangement of those distinctly REO features with
out which you would not expect to find that performance, that
durability and economy that are REO attributes. Body design is
new?ofNcourse.
New bodies are not unusual. This new REO -SIX' will strike you
as singularly beautiful and in excellent taste. A demonstration of
this car will give you an idea of the only real surprise th'e'REO
engineers have prepared for you in this new REO SIX.
