The Lights
of a Great City
Suddenly: a black thunder-shower . rolls
up over the. city, v Although it is rriid-after-rioon;
lights are switched on in thousands of
offices and homes until the towering city looks
like an illuminated honeycomb. In many
great cities huge Exide Storage Batteries in
the central power stations are called on to
supply current through the emergency. So
powerful are these batteries, weighing hun
dreds of -tons; that they can supply millions
of candle power. Nearly all the central sta
tion batteries in America are Exides. V
Exide Batteries are used in scores of ways
to supply the current for the vast network ,
oi teiepnone systems; 1.0 ligni trains; operate
switches and fire alarms ; to propel mine
locomotives and trucks.
When you need a new battery for starting
and lighting ybur automobile, the nearest
service station can supply you with an Exide
whose rugged power will add to your satis-
faction in motoring and whose long life will
prove a true economy.
