“Close-Tite” Sedan Tops for Fords and Chevrolets
We will soon receive a shipment of Close-Tite Tops for converting Ford and Chevrolet
open cars to sedans and coupes. For a very moderate charge your open car can be con­
verted to a comfortable warm closed car that will shut out all the rain and cold, and can
be changed instantly to an open car. The CLOSE-TITE is the cleverest sedan top yet
produced, and what is more important, is sold so reasonably that any Ford or Chevrolet

For the insulation between the plates
is generally the weak point! The action
of the acid the jouncing and bouncing of
the car—ev^n time itself—all tend to de­
stroy ordinary separators.
Willard Threaded Rubber Insulation
is durable. It lasts the life of the plates.
It saves re-insulation trouble and expense.
The'builders of 185 makes of cars and
trucks pay an additional price for Willard
Threaded Rubber Insulation to assure to
the users of their product the lowest bat­
tery cost per mile of uninterrupted service.
