Better thaii 26 Years
Actual Farm Service
In March. 1917, a standard Delco-Light plant was started on a "life-test." It was chosen
at random from stock, a plant just like the thousands of others produced each year.s
By the latter part of October, 1919 this plant had run 13,785 hours, the equivalent of
over 26 years of actual farm service.

What does this test mean ?
To the makers of the Delco-Light it means that the
years and the money spent on early experimental work
have been justified; that the 80,000 Delco-Light plants
already in use are going to give long and satisfactory
service; that the problem of electricity for the farm
has been solved forever by Delco-Light.
To you it means that Delco-Light offers a complete
electric service for your farm, a service that Is cheap,
dependable and efficient
Year after year your Delco-Light plant will go on
lighting the house and barns, pumping water, helping
' with the washing and ironing.
The distinctive features of design and workman
ship found only in the Delco-Light plant are the things
which made possible the record of the Delco-Light
"Life Plant."
These things will bring to you the same satisfac
tion and comfort that they have already brought to
over 80,000 Delco-Light users.
