BURGLAR PROOF AUTO PROVIDED FOR
USE OF PATRONS OF ALL NIGHT BANK

New York. Nov 10.-Customers Of
the Night and Day bank had a new
convenience placed at their service
last night in the shape of a burglar
proof automobile which the band sends
around az night for the collection and
delivery of money and valuables. The
vehicle is bullet proof. carries a large
safe bolted to the running gear. and
when stopped cannot be started by a
chauffeur not in possession of its Sc
cret mechanism.
Since the bank began doing business
last May the number of night custom
ers has increased TO such an extent that
for some time a small automobile has
been used in making collections from
the theaters and restaurants. Great
precaution was taken not To let it be
generally known that this automobile
was working for the bank because hold
ups We're feared constantly.

Automobile builders were set at tho
task of constructing a machine which
could be handled by two men with
comparative safety. There were two
difficulties 10 overcome. First, to con-
struct such a vehicle that the messen-
gers could not run away with IT. and.
second. TO have it 50 built that If rob-
bers killed the chauffeur and messen-
ger they could not get away with the
money and valuables. The managers
believe they have solved both prob
lens.
When the collection machine arrivea
at the customers door he places his
money in a small steel box, which ia
locked into a compartment. The Gus.
toner has one key and the receiving
teller another. If The automobile "a
attacked and stopped by robbers they
cannot cart il of and they cannot &c;
the safe loose from the machine.
