SAFETY SIGNAL
ON AUTOMOBILE
Invented by Leo Abslas-'
Company Is Incorporated.

Leo Abeles, of this city, has in
vented and patented and electric
safety automobile signal, a circular
device to give warning signals to
one driver who is following another.
A white light makes the license
number eligible by night and four
others give warnings when a driver
is going to stop or turn. Mr.. Abeles
has incorporated the Auto Safety
Signal Lamp Company under the
laws of Delaware with a capital of
100000. He is now placing his in
vention on the market and is finding
ready buyers.
The apparatus is of metal and has
q glass front. 1t is about the size
of an ordinary trolley car register.
The interior is divided into four
compartments with an electric bulb
in each. These can be lighted, one
or more at a time, by means OF a
series of push buttons arranged on
the steering wheel or at the side of
the drivers seat. The glass is col
ored red and white. At the top
compartment is the word STOP
to the left an 81" and to the right
an or" At the bottom is a plain
red danger light with a white ray
for the license tag. The latter Is
usually allowed to remain lighted at
night. The others are lighted and
extinguished according to the actions
of the driver, thus giving warning
to a driver In the rear.
Larger automobile manufacturers
have approved of Mr.. Abeles' device
and some have informed him they
would have placed it on their 1913
makes had not their equipment been
made up and advertised. They have
promised to include 1t in equipments
on their 1914 cars.
Mr.. Abeles lived here until three
months ago. He has perfected his
device in Philadelphia, where the
general Offices of his corporation are
located. He Is a brother-in-law of
