Show DEALERS JOIN 10 FI Sip Cffi "When his Studobakor "Six" fell prey to a discriminating automobilo thief, Dr. IT. G. Peregrine of Seattle notified both tho police and tho local Studebaker dealer. The police threw out their usual drag net. The dealer set in motion a plan of detection, carefully worked out for just such an emergency. Within twenty-four hours his friend, the doaler, informed Dr. Perogrino that his car was in a certain garage in Portland, whero it kad been stored' aft-or aft-or its arrival b- bont, sovoral minutes before. Tho car was recovered and an arrost followed. That was quick work and represented repre-sented an unusually striking instance of the facility with which a stolen Studebakor car can bo traced. But tho result would have been tho same in tho long run, rogardloss of tho route taken by tho thief- Eventually ho would have run foul of the watchful, patient, infalliblo system by which tho movements of each Studebaker car can be traced. By this system a car stolen last year in jtfinuoapolis was recovered in San Antonio, Tex., and ono stolon in Providence, Provi-dence, K. T., turned up in Los Angeles. lu each of these cases the cars would liavo beon located long before, but for tho fact that tho thieves had kept them out of Studebaker garages they had passed en route. |
