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. I
can remember," says Mr. McDuf

speedometer were sold for so

With the advent of the electric
starter, the Prest-O-Lite company
started the mapufacture of auto
mobile storage batteries and "' Is
one of the pioneers in this field.
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

million Chevrolets were turned
out from the branch factories
throughout the United States and
Canada. In twelve years Chevro

"H ' ' Pedestrians - ;:
i An eyer increasing number ot
cities la making utwi of the law to
compel pedestrians i for their Own
safety to observe traffic signals.
These cities hold that no distinc

and. motorist must ( observe the

Some waf'shouidl jha found to
get it into the. public conscious
ness that motor - regulations and
traffic 'signals are for the safety
of pedestrians - Just as much
as
they are for the cohrenlence

An interesting experiment was
tried recently In a certain: city. At
a given signal the police, officers
stationed at a certain" very busy
corner; left their posts of duty and
went to the ' nearest sidewalks.
There they stood. Traffic began
to jam Up. ''Pedestrians darted in
all . directions,! - Motor vehicles
stood " still. The confusion in
creased. A whistle blew after just
five minutes' and -the police offi
cers went back to work. i
In Just five minutes it was dem-
