What Does Testing Mean?
"Testing" means finding specific gravity
of battery solution by measuring it with the
hydrometer.

because it is the only means of telling whether
your battery is'being kept in condition by
proper charging or weakened by starvation.
Testing is an important part of the service
that you as a user of a Willard Storage Battery
are entitled to receive. We will make the
test for you or show you how you can keep
tab on your battery by testing it yourself
every week or two.
When you come for your next test ask for
the booklet, "A Mark with a Meaning
for You.':, .
WE CALL AND DELIVER YOUR BATTERY. NO
EXTRA CHARGE FOR SERVICE CAR.
