A Dust-Proof Cover to Keep the 

 Automobile Luggage Clean 



THE luggage which you are carrying in 

 the rear seat of your automobile need 

 not be exposed to dust and rain if you use a 

 cover recently designed by Arthur Paulson, 

 of New York city. It is inexpen- 

 sive and convenient. When 

 stretched over the rear of the car, 

 covering the entire rear seat and 

 the floor space in front of it, as one 

 of the accompanying illustrations 

 shows, it will protect everything 

 that you carry from the dust of the 

 road. 



The cover consists of leather or 

 rubberized canvas which has the 

 shape of the rear portion of the 

 car. Ordinarily, the cover is 

 folded and is stored away 

 in the cloth casing which 

 surrounds the automobile 

 top when it is folded 

 away in the rear. One 

 end of it is attached by 

 fasteners to the edge of 

 the casing. When it is to 

 be used, one pull will suffice 

 to bring it out from its posi- 

 tion under the casing. After 

 the luggage has been placed 



By means of a 

 dozen fasteners the 

 cover can be se- 

 cured in position 

 easily and quickly 



in position on the floor and on the seat, the 

 cover is made fast by attaching it to 

 fasteners placed on the cover top, the doors 

 of the automobile and the back of the front 

 seat. In addition to keeping your luggage 

 clean, the cover protects it from thieves.

A Little "Safety First" Device 

 for the Bill Folder 



NEW bill folder has been de- 

 signed which will stick as 

 close to you as your coat itself. 

 It has a snug-fitting clamping de- 

 vice which holds it flat and fastens 

 it to the inside of the pocket so 

 that it will not fall out when the 

 wearer is stooping and will not re- 

 spond to the magnetic fingers of 

 the pickpocket. When the owner 

 himself wishes to remove 

 the bill folder from the 

 pocket he simply presses on 

 the long outer bar of the 

 clamp and releases the 

 folder from the pressure. 

 It then slips out easily and 

 is as readily replaced. 

 The device does not in- 

 terfere with the comfort of 

 With the safety device the folder the wearer when he is sit- 

 can not fall out or be stolen ting down.
