For many motorists—for those who have learned the economy and comfort of having a worth-while battery in their car—the automobile crank has practically passed out of the language. Perhaps they carry one hidden deep down under the back seat, but they have not seen it in years. Others know their cranks only too well, for with a battery that sometimes works and sometimes does not, they have frequent opportunities to train their wrist muscles. The comfort of knowing your electric starter is going to work every time, the security of being sure that your lights will illuminate the road ahead the moment you switch them on—these are the joys of having a battery on which you can always depend. The proof of experience If you own an Exide, you know these joys. If not, and you make inquiry, you will find that in earning its reputation as the long-life battery Exide has given satisfaction to millions of automobile owners in all parts of the world.
