New Chevrolet Appeals To
Former Employee ct j..
Morris Morton.

Even when you give friend" a
lift, you should make sure to lock

and there both got cut of the car,
Mr.. Gilbert to enter the store,
and the tcook-to wait until he did.
When Mr.. Gilbert returned to
where the car was, or where ne
supposed the car to be, it had van
Iished. and so had the cook.
i, The theft was reported to the
city officers after which Mr.. Nor
ton told his troubles to w, R..
Woodard Of the Chevrolet agency.
Mr. Woodard decided that he
would investigate, and in company
with Mr. Morton went to the spot
where the car was last seen. Mr..
Woodard has read many tales OF
How to locate a stolen car, ana
proceeded to put every effort at
work to find it, There were the
tracks as plain as the nose on your
face. and Mr. Woodard followed
them-folloWed them until he came
upon the car and the cook. The
cock was just filling the tank
with gas and was all ready to take
nice ride. The officers were
notified of the capture and in a
short time the cook was resting IN
the city jail.
Now everyone is happy, all except
the cook.
