Not the kind of work you w ould ordinarily ask of ANY truck; but this REO NOT ONLY WAS FIRST THROUGH BUT CONTINUED TO OPERATE in this region of terror among buyers of transportation.

Gangs of men -11 along have hardly made their presence felt, and the road has half fallen into the river or subsided from 2 to 12 feet, leaving a rather precarious track; silt on the steep up-grades was also an inconvenience, to say nothing of timber and huge boulders, which almost barred a passage. ... A couple of horses went in front to pull us out of the inevitable “bog," but through a stroke of luck and a Reo engine, we had the gigantic satisfaction of pulling through. 12 k You've read the report,now See and Vrove the REOfor yourself 'TOOAV Only a truck of more than ordinary strength and stamina could have withstood such a test.
