Careful Drivers to Come Into Their Own Hartford, Conn. - ()- Caressing the pocketbook or spanking it has been conceded by experts to be a most potent means of rewarding or punish- ing good or bad deeds. Robbins B. Stoeckel, motor vehicle commissioner, had this in mind when he proposed to a 1929 legislative com- mittee that the careful, inoffensive driver be “noticed” as much as the careless, habitually trouble making one. So the legislature enacted a law, said to be the first of its kind in the country, through which the Connec- ticut. motorist who is “good” will be rewarded, via the pocketbook, and the motorist who is “bad” will be pun- ished, via the same route. The state gives official sanction, ‘and provides an official basis, for a Plan that has been used by insur- ance companies for many years—giv- ing low, or basic, liability rates to ¢rivers who rarely or never get into trouble and raising the rates of those who figure too frequently in police or civil courts. - All but “perfect” drivers will be Classified.

Almost every day the Brooklyn Bridge is sold to some gullible visitor to New York. Every day someone is swindled. Selling this famous old bridge has become anational joke. Suppose, however, the City of New York decided really to sell the Brooklyn Bridge—to give the buyer the privilege of placing a toll on all who.crossed it. They would advertise it for sale. And the prospective pur- chaser would know the offer to be genuine. He would know that the paper would not accept the advertisement if it were intended to defraud. He would know that the advertiser would not dare advertise un- less his offer were honest. The advertisement would give the world confidence in the enterprise. Just as the advertising of all merchandise gives the world confidence in that merchandise. Only honest products can tell their stories where all may read. That is why it pays to read advertisements.
