POST MORTEM THOUGHTS
Tho othor day, nl)l Iilll Hicks dlod as auybody might do. Thoy Bay

I'vo often thought that Rill might fool, ns I wntchcU him from day to

The battery that is
more than "Gooti Enough"
WHEN Prcst-O-Litc entered the car-equipment
field, all automobile manufacturers
.lHr tUnf mntAa rC cf rrn fT hattAIll A3
WCrC uailtg Uiivt uinnvii w& tJWfcMc -
original equipment. And they were gooo1
bateries.
To displace these batteries, Prest-O-Lite had
to demonstrate not merely a better battery, but
a battery and service such a lot better that its
superiority justified replacing the other makes.
Manufacturers were naturally reluctant to
change such a vital unitfof their car. This
preference for Prcst-O-Llte is tremendously
significant to you as a car owner.
The Prest-O-Lite Battery uses less than one
four-hundredth of its power-reserve for a single
start and the generator quickly replaces that.
You naturally think of this high-grade, high
powered battery as high-priced. The prices
which we will quote you will correct any such
impression.
Prove this today. Ask also aboUt the definite
guarantee whose letter and spirit say, un
equivocally, that you, the car owner, Must Be
Pleased!
