Suppose that he rises between 7 anil 8 In the tnornlng and goes to bod about 11, when Is he most fit for tho execution of tho problems of the day requiring the application of brain power?

And they were good. batteries To displace these batteries, Frest-O-Lite had to demonstrate not merely a better batterybut 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 unit of their car. This preference for Prest-O-Lite 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! The list of ears and trucks using Prest-O-Lite ' Batteries as standard equipment grows apace.
