' AINSLEE’S ADVERTISER Ideal Center Control Reo the Fifth has a center control which you won't go without when you see it. All the gear shifting is done by moving a handle only three inches in each of four directions. It is done with the right hand—not the left hand. And the handle is out of the way. There are no levers, side or center—nothing in the way. The front is as clear as the tonneau. Both brakes operated by foot pedals. are This arrangement permits of the left-side drive, to which the best cars are coming. The driver sits close to the cars he passes, as the law re quires in Europe. Luxurious Each body is given 17 coats to insure enduring finish, The best genuine leather is used in the upholstering. The best curled hair for filling. The side lights are flush with the dashboard, and they are electric lights. The tail light is also electric. The tonneau is roomy, the seats are wide. The car has ample wheel base. And every detail shows the final touch. Like Costly Cars There are high-priced cars built with equal care. That’s why they cost so much. But here is a car at an underprice, built with every precaution known. It marks the limit of what I can do after 26 years spent in car building. If you think that these things are worth the getting, I ask you to see this car. Sold by a thousand dealers. Write for our catalog of the 1913 model and we'll direct you to the nearest one. R. M.
