CAR THIEVING
COINCIDENTAL LOCKING Insurance companies in Australia make no deduction for locking; defies attached to cars selling on the marks:, yet many manufacturers make attachments standard equipment, as a protection to buyers against car thieves. Of these thief-defying attachments there are many variations. Practice shows, however, that a lock which kills the ignition and the steering coincidentally, is the most effective in operation, and the more convenient its situation to the driver, the more certain it is that he or she will use the device. On all Studebaker and Erskine cars a coincidental steering and ignition lock is standard equipment. It is mounted within convenient reaching distance on the steering column, too obvious to be forgotten and too convenient to be ignored. It has the advantage over the conventional transmission lock on the floor that is doe? not become soiled. It offers indeed protection that is always used since it is as convenient and effective. In America, insurance companies make deductions for approved lockin? devices, since the theft of cars has increased to such an alarming exter,: in recent years. Studebaker and Ers* kine owners there enjoy the lowest rate for cars in their price class.
