In the ordinary cylindrical cell “B" battery the holes between the cells are usually filled with pitch or some other mate- rial to insure the stability of the bat- tery and to prevent breaking the con- nections. The Eveready Layerbilt does away with all holes because it is made up of flat cells packed closely together —one on the other—like the leaves of a book. The Eveready Layerbilt is all battery. Moreover, the flat cells are more efficient — the active mate- rials produce more current when in the flat shape than the same quantity of materials produce when in a eylin- drical cell. That is why the Eveready Layerbilt outlasts every other type of Eveready, and we are convinced it is the longest lasting of all *B* batteries. This is the patented Eveready Laverbilt, the unique "B battery that contains no we spaces or materials between the cells. other batt is made like it Like all Eveready “B" Batteries the eready Laverbilt provides direct current, silent, uniform, hum-free— the only Kind of current that gets the best out of a radio set.
