Police Look to Auto
Locks to Check Thefts
Devices of All Sorts Being Sold
to Motorists to Balk
Crnoko

The police are interesting them
selves these days in automobile locks,
and in anything else that promises to
help them in outwitting automobile
thieves. With motor car stealing so
profitable that the thieves are now run
ming highly organized bands, the
thefts have increased to the point Of
becoming a major industry in the
criminal world.
Locks Of every kind are now being
sold to motorists, who are increasing
ly nervous about thefts. Most Of the
locks work on the transmission and
the steering gear.
A new lock of the latter type which
has just entered the New York market
is the F. O. B. combination, built with
the idea that crooks may pick lock,
but that they will pass by q car locked
with a combination like those on safes
and vaults.
There is no space to apply the safe
crackers Soup" or nitro lycerine, to
the F. 0. b. lock, and it would be rath-
er hopeless to try it anyway, because
Blast strong enough to break the
lock would also damage the car be
yond repair The F. O. b. lock is
closed by twirlng dial on heavy
alumni steel block that is fixed on the
steering column. This pushes thicl
bolt into the movable parts and holds
the wheels in a straight line, so steer
ing is impossible.
To unlock the F. O. B. the car own
er turns the dial to the right three
number combination, and the bolt il
withdrawn, releasing the wheels.
!. Tests were made on the F. 0. B. loci
by the Underwriters Laboratories be
fore it was officially approved. Thes,
!, showed, according to the Underwriters
report, just made public, that, in thei1
language: 1T is practically impossible
J to use a Stillson wrench, hammer, cole
chisel or hacksaw on the f. O. B. loci
in an effort to break it from the steer
J ing column" The Wagner Specialt
| Company represents the lock locally.

The passing Of the Crcel bureau on
July ! marked the end Of the official
activities of our government in pro-
noting American publicity in foreign
fields Shall private enterprise con-
tinue the work which our government
found desirable and effective in giving
our overseas friends better conccp-
ton of our ideals, purposes and actlv-
tiles during the war period, or shall
we grant foreign competitors the ex-
elusive use of the power of group"
or pool" advertising in foreign fields?
The value OF this and other forms
Of publicity IN the United States is
generally recognized. The growth of
advertising Of all kinds since the ar
nistice has been remarkable One
prominent American publisher is re-
ported as having rejected millions of
dollars worth of advertising because
his printing equipment was inadequate
to handle the large volume of business
offered.
Never before in the history Of Amer
can business has the power Of pub

plished by advertising during the war

Using, sometimes called "pool adver-
Using, a plan offering great possibil
tiles for promoting the sale of and
building good will for American prod
ucts abroad, seem to have been en-
tirely overlooked by American manu-
facturers, although this method of
building good will and developing bust
ness for certain industries is already
extensively and effectively employed
by British advertisers. That other
countries are awakening to the appre-
citation of the possibilities Of this form
of advertising is proved by the fact
THAT Brazilian coffee growers recently
started an advertising campaign In this
country, backed by an appropriation OF
81 100000, to increase the demand for
and consumption of their product.
The value and effectiveness OF
GROUP" advertising in this country
have been amply demonstrated. The
Hawaiian pineapple, Sunkist and Skoo-
kun campaigns are outstanding ex-
amples in the food product line. Cy-
press and Southern pine campaigns
have done much to increase the sale
of these two kinds Of lumber, while
magnetos, ball bearings and wood
wheels are a few of the lines connected
have recently been the subject of
GROUP" advertising campaigns.
If group" advertising can be effect
lively and profitably employed to in
crease the demand for and the use
of certain products in this country.
twhy should it not be even more effect
i've in promoting the sale Of American
products abroad? American products

tition in the foreign markets, but in
certain sections of the globe more or
less we'll defined prejudices exist
against American products and Amer
lean methods. What more effective
method could be used to overcome
these sales impediments than good
group" advertising?
But it is not only in opening new
markets and correcting existing mis-
conceptions regarding American prod
ucts and methods that group" advcr-
tising can be profitably employed. 1t
should be equally effective in increas-
ing the demand for and sale of estab-
lished lines. To get better concep
ton Of the possibilities Of this form of
advertising in the overseas field, let
US examine the ways in which it could
be profitably employed to promote the
use of and demand for products of
certain specific industry--the automo-
bile industry, for example.
American motor cars are to-day sold
throughout the civilized world and
marketing methods both in this coun-
try and abroad are probably as agrees
sive and modern as those employed in
any other industry, but does any one
imagine that with more than 100000
cars in use in the United States and
considerably less than 100000 in the
rest of the world, the sales possible
ties for American cars abroad have
been exhausted, or that the 100000 or
more cars which will be exported this
year will fully satisfy the potential
overseas demand?
The motor car business overseas is
in it's infancy and the rapidity and
extent of its development will depend
largely on the employment abroad Of
those aggressive publicity and sales
methods which have been so success
full in building the business in the
United States to its present huge pro-
portions. The possibilities of pool"

fore some of the Office staff had seen
them in a finished condition.
One Of the features of the new
models is that they are better all
around cars than those turned out a
year ago, and yet the price is lower.
The unusual retinements in the cars of
last year are to be found in the new
models, and to these have been added
many little changes that will appeal to
owners. For instance, one finds n
mirror over the drivers seat to facili-
tate operation in traffic, and all the
cars are equipped with the Perfection

gear shift lever.
The motor is the same as at present
except for ignition unit, which Is
mounted direct to gear case, making a
neat and rigid assembly and eliminating
absolutely any oil leakage at this point.
The spark plugs are moved closer to
centre of combustion chamber. The
pstons are ten ounces lighter in
weight.
The shape of starting pedal is
changed, giving greater leverage and
easier to operate. New design instru-
ment board is so made that only faces
of instruments show.
