Exide | HATTERIES | SERVICE STATION | Y BATTERIES In the Van Since the days of primitive ox-carts, men have delivered goods to other men in all sorts and manners of vehicles. The modern city found the need of a con- veyance that could make short hauls and many stops quickly and at low cost. £ Tomeet thisneed, the electric truck was developed. Propelled by rugged Exide Batteries, these trucks are solving the transportation problem for firms of all kinds the nation over. So, also, the electric passenger automobile, driven by Exides, fits the exacting re- quirements of thousands of city dwellers, In mine locomotives, factory trucks, submarines, airplanes and railroads Exide Batteries play an im- portant part in the movement of men and merchan- dise. But the commonest use of Exides, and perhaps of most interest to you, is in starting and lighting: gasolirfe automobiles. In this field as in others, Exide was the pioneer battery, and is standard equipment on a greater number of automobiles built today than any other battery. e When you put an Exide in your automobile you have power that you cdn depend on — and you can. depend on it lasting so long that it proves a genuine economy. ?
