W and the ice cream maker AVE you noticed the great increase on the city streets of those busy trucks that make deliveries from door to door and do it all with such silent efficiency? They are propelled by storage batteries—powerful Exide Batteri¢s—and their unique service is becoming generally recognized by department stores, laundries, and other businesses that have short hauls and frequent stops to make. There is scarcely a kind of transportation in which Exide Batteries do not play an important part. They light railroad trains and operate switches. They propel those man-saving, burden-bearing littlé industrial trucks and tractors that you see in railroad stations and modern industrial plants. Airplanes use Exide Batteries for the spark of ignition. A majority of the world’s submarines are propelled under the sea by huge Exides. Beneath the surface of the ground Exides run the locomotives that gather oogfl. For your automobile Of all the Exide Batteries used in transportation, perhaps the one that interests.you most is the battery that starts and lights your automobile. The first elec- tric-starting car used an Exide, and more cars leave the manufacturers’ hands today equipped with Exides than with any other battery. - A3 Ruggednessand powerare builtinto the Exide Battery. It keeps its youth and lasts so long in continuous service that it is the most economical battery for you to own. There is a nearby Exide Service Station where you can’ get the right size Exide for your car. 3 The Electric Storage Battery Co., Inquiries about batteries other than auto- mobile batteries should be addressed to our Washington Branch.
