Has Unique Device for
Keeping Radiator Warm

Since autos have displaced horses,
horse blankets have had more use as
radiator covers i'll winter than as
wraps for the passing equine But
now even this makeshift use of the
horse blanket is out of date. A patent
shutter arrangement in front OF the
radiator is one OF the newest novel
ties on motor models. With this de-
vice, the winter motorist can close
the front of his motor hood by SIM
ply touching a lever on the instru-
ment board. Cold air is thereby shut
out effectively while the car is lett
standing in the garage or at the curb.
The new scheme also comes in handy
when the motor is run for the first
few minutes OF a cold weather spin,
as it holds in the motors heat until
he mechanism is warmed up sufi-
'ieutly.
