And In this respect It is well to bear In mind that the "Elide" Starting and Lighting Battery la made by the world's largest maker of storage batteries for every purpose. The Ingle fart that the "Kxlde" bat tery Is the embodiment of more than. 3? years manufacturing ex perience Is sufficient to guaran tee that this battery Is as good as numan skill and r unlimited re sources can make It. Bnt added to this is the exper ience of thousands of motorists In all parts ot the country, who are unanimous In decaring that "Kx Ide" batteries give constantly sat isfactory serrlc nnrier all rnrwli- a I tions.

They also have learned that "Exlde" com pact construction gives this bat tery considerably more power than other batteries of eqaal alse and weight. There is another point to be considered in buying a storage battery the amount and kind of service offered by the manufac turer., "Exlde" servtee occupies a strong position In the automobile Industry. It is easily accessible and the "Exlde service atation is In charge , of '. battery experts trained to care for and repair any make of starting and lighting bat tery. This service Is thorough, Impartial and is instantly avail able to every motorist, no matter what make of battery he uses. Starting Switch Should . Be Off Says Battery Man Some motorists think they are not so apt to misplace the key to the starting switches of their cars if they leave the key right In the switch, itself. .This often proves .to be atdan eerou habit, however, savs' Mr. Itnrrell of the Willard Storage Battery Service station. "We frequently have ear own ers towed Into our service station because their batteries have been drained absolutely dry as a result of someone having turned the switch to on,! he says .. "It is especially dangerous to leave the key in a switch When the car is kept in a public: gar age where all sorts of people ae coming and going. ' Sometimes It Is necessary, to do so la order that the - garage man, can move the cars about. Bnt In soch case. It Is wise to ask the manager to caution his men , about always having the key tnrned to the off position . after use.
