We wish to state that we are ready and willing to put our battery to any test that they will theirs to, if they, in turn, will agree to put their oy to the different tests which we put ours _ through. This will determine whether or not our battery will Hi do all that we claim for it, and whetler or not it is one of the most efficient batteries on the market today. We have sat back and let our competitors knock our product and fight our chances of Lael same on the market, for a period of four or five months, and under these circumstances have sold a great many batteries without having one dissatisfied customer, and feel that the time is now ripe to prove to the public that our product has certain improvements which make it a better battery than the sulphuric electrolite battery. ‘We must have a very high grade and wonderful battery in performance, otherwise they would not be making such a fight to . keep it off the market. Possibly they foresee that it is their bread and butter. If such ts the case, they should at least bo good losers and play fair. We do not claim that all our com- petitors are taking this action against us, but a certain number are, and we would surely like to prove to them and the public where they have made their mistakes, Russia has more filiterates, and yet more book stores, than sny country In Europe.

Thus little power would be required from the sending station to maintain such a aystem of high-power stand ing waves, only enough to supply the losses.
