A Tough Battery
for Rough Trips
Many hundreds of thousands of ear owners have found tha Willard
Threaded Rubber Battery to be tough, powerful sad durable. They
choose it not only because of the patented rubber-end-thread con
struction of Its -Insulation bat also because tha name Willard mskaa
to them the best possible assurance of honest quality and consci
entious service!
Some owners, faced with an unexpected repair bill or tha oast
of a new battery, forget the hard lessons they have learned; they buy
too cheaply, or taka chances on batteries whose reliability la non«
too wall established.
Tha wiser plan, however, la to follow tha example o f the
ear and truck manufacturers who buy batteries unswayed by any
thing but tested and proven facta, sad who pay aa additional price
