| was required to produce certified
abstract of title and to transfer this
title, to the purchaser, the auto thiefs
career would be ended. In the real

property, but as things are conducted
now, the purchaser Of an automobile

The Chicago Automobile Abstract

lar for protective title policy on any
automobile which has been registered

policy is positive proof of title and
amply protects both the buyer and
seller. With this system in opera.
ton no one can sell or buy a stolen
car: II will assist in obtaining a loan
or In the safe loaning of money on
automobiles; II will prevent court
troubles, 1t will aid insurance com.
panies; 1t will prevent auto theft by
blocking the sale of stolen car, and
1t will aid the police department.
All makes Of automobiles are pro.
tected by the policies issued by the
company and a complete record of
every car so protected will be- con.
tinued for the life of the automobile.
Under the system adopted and per.
fected by the Chicago Automobile
Abstract and Title company. It will
be impossible to alter the car numbers
or to disguise the auto and so pre-
vent the danger of buying stolen
