Under the same conditions and with the same care, is there a difference in the length of service you will get from different makes of batteries? There is. And you have a right to expect longer life from an Exide. Motorists who have used several kinds of batteries will tell you the Exide has unique lasting power. We receive numerous letters telling us of Exides in service many years and still doing their unflinching duty. It was not a paper “guarantee” that gave Exide its title of the Iong-life battery. This reputation has been earned by actual performance ever since cars used batteries—and the first successful battery to go in a car was the Exide. The difference in life of an Exide makes it a real economy for you, just as its dependable power makes it areal satisfaction.
