PREST-O-tlTE HAS IDESEiCEPLi Stations - Located , In All Cities; Auto Changes . i Closely Folldwed Over twenty thousand gas serv ice stations, ten thousand storage battery service stations, ware houses in all Important cities and factories in Indianapolis, San Francisco and Toronto, Ontario, comprise the service organization of the Prest-O-LIte company of Indianapolis, one of the pioneer companies of the automotive In dustry and an Institution which claims the distinction of being the oldest to give service to motorists. According to J. H. McDuf fee, gen eral sales manager of the Prest-O-Lite service is unique In the' an nals of motoring inasmuch as this service has adapted itself to the many changes in motoring during the past twenty years.. f'Bacfc.in 1904 Carl G.Fisher, the 'father of Prest-O-Lite serv ice, the Indianapolis motor speed way and of romantic Miami beach, met the growing need for efficient automobile lights with Prest-O-Lite gas in convenient tanks.

This New "70" Six applies the principles of high speed engine construction to the Knight Sleeve Valve motor with startling results. With a 2H inch bore and AH inch stroke this new Sleeve-Valve Six engine delivers greater power per cubic inch, throughout its com plete range, than any stock American motor-car engine built todays ; Revolutionary results .In speed and power the new 70" Willys-Knight literally out-performs all other stock cars of com parable size.

In speaking of the Prest-p-Lite battery business Mr. McDuf fee called attention to the growing list of well-known automobiles which are using Prest-O-Lite stor age batteries as initial equipment. "Some of the oldest and, best known car names in the automo bile world are linked with Prest-O-Lite today and the owners of these cars are. using Prest-O-Lite service in alt parts of the coun try." ' I PRODUCTION' MARK MADE The first Chevrolet was built in 1913. Last year more than a half million Chevrolets were turned out from the branch factories throughout the United States and Canada.
