REO TODAY HOLDS , STRONG POSITIOi In an Interview yesterday P. v Kouccho of tho Grady-Kouecho Motor: Car company, said: It has coino to the point now when a man buying a motor car. considers the financial responsibilities responsi-bilities and reputatiou of tho organization or-ganization manufacturing that car as much as ho does the car itself. The day when a man rushed mto an 'automobile salesroom and ela'uoroil with his fellows to figure delivery on a car, has passed. Tho automobile business has passed through tho boom stage and has settled down to a solid reliable basis. Since the day the Keo Motor Car company started manufacturing manufactur-ing automobiles, some ton years ago. there has never been any necessity ne-cessity for any frenziud finaucing, which" many "concerns have employed. em-ployed. T"hero has never been water stock or bond issues and business has been carried on jn a very careful ami conservative manner, and the volumo of business they aro doing today is simply tho outgrowth of conscientiously and honestlv building good cars. The "Reo Motor Car company could probably market oO per cent more cars than they do at present, hut in order to do this the cars j would not receive the same degree j of carefullncss which is now oxer- : cised in their manufacture and as a result the ultimate owner would suffer. The Eco factory 13 conducted along a conservative lino and they have never experienced a season of over production during which thoy had to cut prices of their cars to get from underneath. Tho production produc-tion is even throughout tho whole year and by no night work or rush work being employed during tho vear one can readily appreciate the efficiency of this manner of manufacturing. Since wo havo taken over distribution dis-tribution of the Reo in this territory terri-tory we have been receiving a great manv outsido inquiries and arc rapidly closing contract n throughout our territory. Mr. Grady is now in Idaho closing wholesale contracts and reports a very satisfactory volumo of business.
