finds a lost license number Invaria-
| bly, people do not know how to find out
who the owner is. 1t is the simplest
! thing on earth to ascertain. Every
number is recorded at the secretary of
states office and every police officer
| in the state is provided with list
book telling who every number owner
is. If an auto license number is found

will not take him any longer to tell
you whom it belongs to than it would
| take him to look up a word in a die
