"With the closing of offices of the Mercantile Detective Agency In Philadelphia, Johnstown, Pittsburgh, Bradford, Lewistown, Uniontown and other cities In the State." said J, Borton Weeks, president of the Keystone Automobile Club, "a great victory has been achieved by the Club through the co-operation of the press. "Early this year we learned of the operations of Mercantile Detective Agency agents In Montgomery coun¬ ty, and our investigation disclosed that 'service contracts' were beiiig sold as automobile liability and property damage Insurance, The agency had protected itself by print- ins on the contract. 'This Is not a policy of insurance.' but in every instance that came to our attention the holders of the contracts believed they had purchased insurance. "An agent named Samuel Snelly was arrested on complaint of motor¬ ists and the Keystone Automobile Club furnished legal representation ¦xt the hearing, Snelly was held in bail, and while that case was pend¬ ing he transferred the scene of oper¬ ations to York county, where he was arrested after obtaining $1500 or more from farmers. "Snelly was held in bail and his trial was set for last week in 'Vor'.c countv court. He failed to appear and his bailbond of $750 was for¬ feited. "Each step in the Club's activities to curb this swindling of motorists was given full publicity in the press of the State, with the result that the business of the M.D.A. steadily de¬ clined. We feel that the newspapers have performed a valuable public service in thus ridding the Common¬ wealth of a parlsitic organization," • • DAUGHTERS OF A.MERICA American | Legion Post Activities Harold V.

KEYSTONE MOTOR CLUB WARS ON FAKE INSUR.\NCE
Newspapers of Pennsylvania are given credit bv tlie Keystone Auto¬ mobile Club for helping to drive out of business an organization that mulcted motorists of S500.OO0 or more by selling a "service contract" ....^t /ts tf^entc; mbarcpeticated to '.;« automobile insurance.
"With the closing of offices of the Mercantile Detective Agency In Philadelphia, Johnstown, Pittsburgh, Bradford, Lewistown, Uniontown and other cities In the State." said J, Borton Weeks, president of the Keystone Automobile Club, "a great victory has been achieved by the Club through the co-operation of the press.
"Early this year we learned of the operations of Mercantile Detective Agency agents In Montgomery coun¬ ty, and our investigation disclosed that 'service contracts' were beiiig sold as automobile liability and property damage Insurance, The agency had protected itself by print- ins on the contract. 'This Is not a policy of insurance.' but in every instance that came to our attention the holders of the contracts believed they had purchased insurance.
"An agent named Samuel Snelly was arrested on complaint of motor¬ ists and the Keystone Automobile Club furnished legal representation ¦xt the hearing, Snelly was held in bail, and while that case was pend¬ ing he transferred the scene of oper¬ ations to York county, where he was arrested after obtaining $1500 or more from farmers.
"Snelly was held in bail and his trial was set for last week in 'Vor'.c countv court. He failed to appear and his bailbond of $750 was for¬ feited.
"Each step in the Club's activities to curb this swindling of motorists was given full publicity in the press of the State, with the result that the business of the M.D.A. steadily de¬ clined. We feel that the newspapers have performed a valuable public service in thus ridding the Common¬ wealth of a parlsitic organization,"
