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. They have learned what the Reo clutch and transmission mean when going is hard, what pow er is there for emergency in the Reo engine Let us demonstrate to you what Reo can do how it can make y our own transport work more profitable [Extracted from North Auckland Times, July 2Uth y 1929.] We have seen Murchison and district to-day almost as it was. It may seem incredible, but the first loaded truck to make a through trip over the blocked Nelson-Murchison road after the "quake and subsequent slips was none other than the Reo of the Far North. ...

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.
