"Tho advent of the moderate priced car hus brought out many moderate priced accessories and a desire for less expensive equipment, llnlteries for this type of car have been under development by tho Wlllard company for some time," he claims. Wlllard has never made a cheap battery nor have they cheapened their good battery to take care of the small car needs, according to Mr. Cox. Instead they have de veloped a good buttery at a low price to fill tho bill. Although they are the exclusive makers of batteries with Threaded Kuhber Insulation. Wlllard has always made n wood Insulated baiterv und this battery has been refined for the light cur. Increased demand on the part of tho car manufac turers for this type of battery has enabled the Wlllard factory to go into large production, with tho re sult that better wood Insulated Wlliard batteries are available for small automobiles at lower prices than ever before, ho concluded. y is i SHAPING With the burial f Old Man Pe- j been booked by dealers through tour, who has been making his lout the l'nit'd States with thou home on the Emigrant Hill sec- j rands of orders coming In every tlon of the Oregon Trail through I day. the summer. road conditions .. - ' throughout I'nton.
