What the Threads Are For
Every one of the 196,000 threads in the
Threaded Rubber Insulation of the Still Better
Willard has a definite mission.
Every thread allows free passage to the battery
solution. Through this multitude of tiny paths
the chemical action which means a good, strong
current goes on with perfect freedom.
No insulation ever used has equalled hard
rubber in ability to resist tvery-day wear and
tear. No method of conducting current through
the hard rubber has the efficiency of the tiny
threads. And the combination is found only in
the Still Better Willard Battery. Let us tell
you more about this insulation and the battery
that uses it.

Rubber Insulation
for Storage Batteries
It has been long understood that rub
ber was the best insulation for all pur
poses. Jt is dnteeating to know, how
ever, that storage battery engineers
have long tried to use ruwoer alone for
tho insulation of starting aud lighting
batteries without sucress- Only re
cently, has the application of rubber
as an insulation .been successfully used
in the .construction of starting and of
j lighting batteries, and even then
ii.iw pruci.ss ,ior using 1,1 uuu iu ,ue iu
vcutted. Rubber alone as au insulation has
not been successfully used in starting
and lighting 'batteries heretofore, be
eauso tousle At, eifllei'tually 'insulated
the p'ates, at the same time, it pre
vented the free ciieulation ot the el
ectrolyte. Thus Willard Storage- Battery com
pany, in its new application of ' rub
ber for sltorae battery insulation have
pierced the raibber with thousands of
Initio threads running from side to
side of tho iuisula'.ion. As a result of
this new invention all of the splendid
insulating qualities ctf rubber have re
mained, butt, the thousands of little
threads running through the rubber
now permit the free circulation of the
electrolytic.
As a result the "S'lll Better Wil
lard Battery" is provided with the
most durable 'battery Insulation known,
while all the previous disadvantages
have been removed. This new inven
tion has ibeen named "Threaded Rub
ber Insulation," and can be procurred
only in the "Still Hotter Willard Bat
tery". Just how this threaded rubber
battery is manufactured is. fit course,
a ecret with the Willard company, but
the lact remains that tlie motorist has
been spared the exptusc of frequent
re-insulation olf his battery.
