JOY RIDERS, DESIST!
AUTO OWNERS' EYES
ARE EVERYWHERE
The A. O. I. B., Inc., Prom
ises Harassed Employers
Sleep Untroubled by
Dreams of Accidents.
Automobile owner, does your chauffeur
tako the cook oUt joy-rldlng in your $S000
plush-llned limousine? Whero Is your
car right now? It Is whero you think
it Is?
This Is the spirit of a letter being
sent broadcast to automobile owners In
all tho largo cities of tho country by
tho Automobile Owners' Information Bu
reau, Inc., of Now York.
For tho sum of M a year, the bureau
offers to keep careful watch on your
motorcar and to tcport Its whereabouts
day and night. The "Our-cye-on-your-car"
seal of tho bureau, to be pasted on
license number plate, ls calculated to In
still such moral ffcar In the bosoms of
your chauffeur and other persons thnt
they will not dare to tako your car
out to send It skimming over tho high
ways of the countryside In the fresh air
of the early morn.
They will desist, the bureau asserts,
becauso they know that tho keen-eyed
agents of tho bureau are busily reporting
the tlmo and place the car Is scon at
all hours of the 21.
Tho possibility of tho car's climbing a
telegraph polo or playing football with a
locomotive or trolley car while you arc
soundly steeping would thus be greatly
diminished. Much oil and gasoline and
the wear and tear on tires which you
yourself do not uso would bo saved. Tho
mental satisfaction, too, of knowing that
alert eyes are Just hankering for your
car to bo seen In use without your per
mission or knowledge Is described as being
very gratifying.
Tho moral effect that is what the bu
reau emphasizes to its potential clients.
Of course, at present no such, effect Is ex
erted on chauffeurs or others, becauso
thero are only three operatives of the bu
reau at work now In New York. Tho pro
moters of the novel undertaking have Just
begun, but as soon as enough clients sub
scribe, they ny, watchful Individuals will
be put to work In Philadelphia, Chicago,
New York. I'lttsburgh, Boston, New Or
