JACK FROST is a real enemy of the
Starting and Lighting Battery. Pre
pare your battery to resist his attacks
" by making sure that it is in good condi
tion for its winter's work.
Remember, that your car is much harder to
start in winter than in summer, and also that
the long winter nights call for greater use of
lights.
Drive around to our "JEXiOC? Service Station
and let us inspect your battery. We make no
, charge for this service. Expert attention at
this time will assure you good service this winter
and save you money.
If you do not run your car this winter send
your battery to us and let us caro for it during
the cold weather. Wo will give it proper care
and return it to you in the spring in good con-,
dition. Our small charge for this service may
save you the cost of a new battery in the spring.
