So we. started out by getting around us the MEN that could make that Service mean something. Men who know, their business, men who can show you that they know. Men who are far sighted enough to make an inexpensive repair when it would be just as easy to sell a new bat tery. Men who know that only by doing these things can they hope to win and hold the .confi dence 'of every car owner in town. And these men are backed up by the me chanical equipment that makes their work a " pleasure to them. This, too, means much to you as a car owner. It means minimum time where a repair is needed and a grade of workmanship otherwise impossible. And-it is a pleasure, too, in this business of ours, to be able to look our friends square in the eye rind recommend the Philadelphia Diamond Grid Battery, Guaranteed for Two Years, by the manufacturers as well as ourselves. ulready available for road -work In 10 stales.
