even though her son and the girl

Throughout the evening the police
quizzed Harris in an effort to break
down his story. He was asked in
Vulnerable questions relative to small
details, but in each case was able to
answer them. He told how Elwell came
into the house dressed in evening
clothes and went upstairs and changed
to pajamas. He told of him reading
some mail, but being so sleepy that he
went to sleep before he had finished.
Harris came to Lockport about a
month ago, the police say, and had
been engaged in bootlegging since. II
was this, Harris told his wife. that
caused him to use the name of Carlin

was afraid that some one would know
the name of Leonard.

Perhaps you have thought that
the only protective service the
HOLMES COMPANY is pre-
pared to furnish is the Holmes
Electric Protective Service
which has guarded the homes
and business properties of New
Workers for more than sixty
years.
But Holmes Protection is not
limited to the famous system
which provides an electrical
connection between the doors.
windows and other points Of
entry to a subscribers premises
and conveniently located central
Offices. In addition, the Holmes
Company has a day and night
patrol service that is remark
ably complete and effective.
This patrol service is rendered
In a variety of ways by we'll
trained, carefully selected men.
It's cost is surprisingly small
considering its character and
unquesuoncd value.
For a comparatively small sum
per month you can have your
home or your business property
guarded by Holmes Men in
Gray. These men cover pre-
scribed posts of duty during the
night, testing doors and win
dows, watching for providers,
guarding against FIRE and detect
ing irregularities which might
cause serious loss. They serve
in the residential districts and
in the business and loft sections
and every night they discover
and remedy conditions in way
that saves the Holmes clients
thousands Of dollars.
Then there is the special Holmes
protection available when you
are called from town and. want
to be sure that your family and
your household property will be
well guarded while you are
away. A telephone call to the
Holmes Company an hour be-
fore you leave the house will
bring a trustworthy Holmes
man who will stand guard in
your home as long as you re-
Quire his services.
Holmes men guard cashiers or
messengers with payrolls in
transit. They are employed daily
by banks and commercial in
stitutions and in the jewelry dis
trict.
When town houses are closed
either the Holmes Electric Ser
vice or the Holmes Patrol Ser
vice comes into use and, in ad-
dition, Holmes patrolmen go out
into the country for special
work at summer homes.
The great thing about Holmes
Protection is that it is always
available for almost every pur-
pose in almost any quantity. One
man or ten men, patrol service
or private house service, pay
roll guardianship, business pro-
lection or country home work;
you can quickly secure just tho
service you seek and get it at a
cost that made one client ejacu-
late "Is THAT all you charged"
Holmes protection really pro-
tects. 1t is given by Men in Gray
who cooperate with the Men in
Blue the well-known central
Office guards who respond to
alarms received electrically. 1t
assures untroubled sleep.
