"A CLOSEUP"

A closeup is often enjoyed in moving pictures, but when it comes to automobiling it's too exciting and the climax is apt to bring injurious results.
 A bumper helps to work the act up 10 a climax that's not so smashing and less head bang ing. With a bumper in your story there's not so much blood shed to be sure, but there can be plenty of action and excite ment, and you are always as- sured of story with a happy ending.
