After you have spent your time in an Auto School then comes the city examination, which, if you do not pass, you might as well not have wasted your time. Do you know that over one-half who, after they have secured their diploma, are not able to pass the examinations for a City License? Well, it is true. But not a single one of OUR students has ever failed to pass the examinations and secure a chauffeur's license.
The City Mechanician of Chicago, Mr. H. L. Hudson, who decides whether or not you are entitled to a license, commenced with Mr. Coey in the automobile business in 1900. He was Mr. Coey's private mechanician on his racing cars. Mr. Hudson is an automobile expert and that is the reason he holds a fine city position. He recently inspected our School, and this is what he said:
"I wish to compliment you on the method you employ in your School of Motoring. The many years I spent as mechanician on your private racing cars certainly furnished us both information of a definite character, which is necessary for a man holding such an important position as Automobile School Instructor and Examiner of the Board of Public Motor Vehicle Register of the City of Chicago.
You seem to have the proper system and your vast experience with chauffeurs in the ten years past fits you, as no one else is fitted, for a competent instructor. I believe you are on the right track and wish you success.
Yours very truly,
(Signed) H. L. HUDSON,
City Mechanician."
The following is what the Chicago Examiner has to say about our School. (This article appeared without our knowledge and shows our standing in the City of Chicago, which assures you of a square deal.)
"SCHOOL IS OPENED TO INSTRUCT AUTO DRIVERS."
"A motoring school for the purpose of instructing persons in the running of automobiles has just been opened by C. A. Coey. This school will be of national scope and owing to the fact that Chicago is centrally located and the great railroad and mail distributing center, it will enable persons desirous of availing themselves of the benefits of institutions of this sort, to be in direct communication with instructors. Mr. Coey is nationally recognized as one of America's pioneer motorists and he realizes, as do the manufacturers, that the failure of so many automobiles to perform their proper functions and the occurrence of so great a number of accidents are due to the inefficiency of persons handling them."
