1Double Your Battery Life ©

B Most ‘Dopes’ don’t

| work, but this one

| seems to be beffer

| than its maker says

D-X2, A BATTERY additive
available at most auto parts
stores, will double the life of your
battery according to authorities
ranging from the Senate Small
Business Committee to the Massa-
chussetts Institute of Technology.
The wide range of sponsors for
the battery-saver springs from a
rhubarb between the manufactur-
ers of AD-X2 and the National
Bureau of Standards, who originally
branded the product as worthless
although probably harmless.
Pioneers Incorporated, who make
AD-X2, took their case to the Sen-
ate Small Business Committee,
which authorized the MIT tests.

These tests, coupled with use re- _

ports from some of the biggest bat-
tery users in the nation, including
the Air Force, indicate the white
powder you add to your car battery
does more than the manufacturer
claims.

By mixing a $3 packet of AD-X2
into the water of your battery cells
you can:

1. Reduce harmful effects of sul-
fation and extend the life expec-
tancy of your battery.

Decrease loss of water.

3. Increase speed of charging and
normally increase the capacity of
the battery.

4. Protect the battery from de-
struction by sulfation during long
periods of inactivity. -

As a result of the MIT tests and
the endorsement of other compe-
tent authorities, the National Bu-
reau of Standards has taken back
their nasty words about AD-X2.
Their original unfavorable report
was evidently based on their pre-
vious experience with a multitude
of phoney battery additives which

claimed and failed to deliver the
advantages attributed to AD-X2.
Because it claimed what so many
failed to deliver, Bureau experts
broke their legs leaping to a con-
clusion and released the unfavor-
able report on Pioneer’s product
before conducting thorough labora-
tory tests.

The manufacturers of AD-X2
caution that the powder should
only be added to new batteries or
used batteries that have been ex-
amined by an expert and found
mechanically sound. In the absence
of an expert inspection you can add
AD-X2 to your battery and expect

results if it is in operating con-
dition and not more than six
months old.

When adding AD-X2 to your
present battery, thoroughly clean
the battery posts, cable terminals
and top of the battery before add-
ing the life-lengthener. Completely
dissolve the AD-X2 in the water
covering the battery plates by dust-
ing the powder over the top of the
plates and then circulating the
water with a battery syringe. After
the powder is dissolved, run your
car motor for 30 or 40 minutes.

One application of AD-X2 will
last the life of the battery. eee

THIS IS WHY THE BATTERY MANUFACTURERS TRIED TO SMASH JESS RITCHIE

BECAUSE NOW YOUR OLD CAR BATTERY =,
CAN 88 BETTER THAN NEW!

Back in 1947, certain that the world would
welcome such a discovery, Jess Ritchie to. <=
gether with Dr. Merle Randall, a noted ZZ
chemistry professor, produced over 1,000
chemical formulas searching for an answer

to battery failure.

For years men had grappled with this problem of prolonging
the useful life of lead-acid storage batteries. All such batteries
have a normal life span. After which they break down. And
there's nothing you can do about it.

One after another their experiments failed, until, inexplicably
an accidentally processed formula brought results entirely differ-
ent from anything they had used up till then. Sensational results!

At last science had the answer to battery failure. Battery
AD-X2, a secret chemical formula, doubled and tripled the life
of any battery, actually rejuvenated ageing batteries, gave
greater capacity to new batteries. For the first time you'd have
a battery that could be completely charged, operating at 100%
efficiency, all the time.

FROM THAT MOMENT OF DISCOVERY

JESS RITCHIE WAS A MARKED MAN!
The Keystone Battery Company of California sent this letter to
the American Association of Battery Manufacturers:

“When the AD-X2 thing first came out, we thought they'd
kill themselves off in short order. But they seem to be
getting stronger...

“This is a serious situation. We have lost a considerable
amount of business, and the loss to large manufacturers
must have run into the thoi
“We feel sure that with the cooperation of the Associ-
ation we can lick this thing.”

Jess Ritchie's Dream Became a Nightmare
Instead of lavish praise he ran into an incredible storm of violent
condemnation, and brutal scientific indifference.

This small business man, who had never invented or discov-
ered anything before, suddenly found himself the TARGET of a
gigantic foe. He was zeroed in with charges of fraud, pinned
down with court orders and law suits.

And like all successful attackers, the battery manufacturers
kept themselves well camouflaged.

Their money and power influenced men in high public places
— government officials — to front their offensive.

1. The National Bureau of Standards branded AD-X2
worthless. They issued an influential official condem-

= nation. -~

THEY NEVER EVEN TESTED AD-X2

2. The United States Post Office, acting on this misin-
formation, sued Ritchie's firm, Pioneer's Inc. for at-
tempting to defraud through the mails.

3. The powerful Federal Trade Commission sued
Ritchie and AD-X2 for fraudulent advertising.

HE STOOD ACCUSED — LIAR AND THIEF
Remember, behind this frenzy of government activity was the
sordid, underhanded scheme of the battery manufacturers to
blanket AD-X2 in a bed of lies.

If there had been any doubt that AD-X2 worked, then there
would have been no need to keep you from using it. No, it would
have more nearly suited their selfish purposes, if AD-X2 did ruin
your battery.

There never was a real controversy over AD-X2 as many news-
papers and magazines wanted you to believe—only a highly suc-
cessful campaign to tear Jess Ritchie's small business to shreds.

Twice Jess Ritchie was forced into bankruptcy trying to mar-
ket AD-X2.

But he still wasn’t licked. They hadn’t counted on his bronco
bustin’ determination.

The Senate Select Committee on Small Business tried to prove
the true merit of AD-X2.

They asked America’s leading scientific university, the Massa-
chusetts Institute of Technology to test it.

As you know: Your battery supplies electric current for the
ignition — all the electric equipment - PLUS POWER TO
CRANK YOUR ENGINE.

When you use any of this equipment, or leave your car stand
idle, the battery discharges electric current. Run your motor and
the battery recharges itself.

But — while a battery discharges two things happen:
a Somes st the patie materials from the lead plates shed
Forms useless “battery mud.” THIS IS

THE F FIRST REASON YOU LOSE POWER.
2. And, the soft sponge lead in the negative plate
changes chemically into lead sulfate. With age this sul-
fate gets tough and hard. It clogs the pores of the plate.
Then, the electrolyte-acid plus water — can't enter the
pores and deliver electricity. This continuous process is
talled SULFATION. It is responsible for the steady

_ loss of power in your battery, and when the plates are

completely sulfated or clogged your battery fails and

has to be replaced.
According to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology:
AD-X2_RESTORES ACTIVE MATERIALS ... STOPS
HARMFUL SULFATION ... INCREASES THE CAPAC-
ITY OF YOUR BATTERY.
But these unbiased scientific findings

HAD NO EFFECT ON THE BATTERY MANUFAC.

TURERS PRINCIPLE OF “GOOD BUSINESS.

They actually persuaded the government bureaus to ignore
the M.LT. report!

In an unbelievable disregard for truth, they forced Ritchie to
defend himself at 103 hearings in 11 different states, 13 separate
cities.

He had to take 16 transcontinental flights. Spend over a half
a million dollars.

SENSATIONAL REVELATIONS ROCK WASHINGTON!
All that remained was the final blow. These
legal maneuvers had Ritchie blocked at
every point. But he stood and faced them
with his only weapon — fact.
The Federal Trade Commission heard
10,000 pages of testimony. 3000 pages of ex-
hibits. They found government employees
on the payrolls of the-battery manufacturers. Discovered possible
major scandals involving millions of dollars of the public funds.
AND OVERWHELMING PROOF THAT AD-X2 WORKED!
In May, 1956—8 years after the discovery of AD-X2—the F.T. C.
reached a unanimous decision. By a vote of 4 to 0 they dropped
all the charges against Ritchie and AD-X2. None of the claims
made for AD-X2 were fraudulent.

This historic decision was a complete and overwhelming vic-
tory. A spectacular triumph over the wealth of the entire battery
industry. That's why today, without fear of contradiction, I am
free to tell you:

AD-X2 is the first and only major chemi
ment in the lead-acid storage batt: si
It will double the life of your
battery failure from harmful sulfation.

I wish I could go on and tell you that you could double the
life of your car's battery simply by going to your local automobile
dealer or service shop. But that simply isn’t so.

The battle for AD-X2 isn’t over. Remember, the man who
sells and services your car depends upon these interlocking giants
of the car business for his livelihood.

Do I have to tell you what that meat

But all their money and influenct
free of the battery industry's shackles.

ind forever

't bury AD-X2! It is



Dear Automobile Owner:

I think you'd like to know about a product that could
keep your car battery from ever going dead again.

I'm sure that like me you've listened to many stories
about such miracle products:

Electric bulbs that burn forever, nylon stockings
that won't rip or run, soles for shoes that can't wear out.

Yes, wonder-working inventions we'd give our eye teeth to
own...but know we'll never be able to buy.

It just wouldn't be "good business."
Is it any wonder that you don't know about miracle

chemical compound AD-X2? It will save American drivers

$360,000,000 a year. Double and triple the life of
your car's battery. Added to your battery - just like
sugar to coffee - it virtually ends battery failure.

No - like the lifetime electric bulb, AD-X2 just
wouldn't be "good business." But I ask you - for whom?
You - or the men who sell you the $360,000,000* worth of

patteries each year?

That's why I'm writing to you now. You don't have
to sit still for the battery manufacturers anymore.
Pay for an expensive new battery because they want you to.

You can have a battery that's better than new for
only $3.00. Now, your old battery will last for years.
Give you that peak performance you proved you wanted.

This is the amazing story of the triumph of AD-X2.
The car battery miracle the wealth of vested interests

couldn't bury.

A BATTERY THAT IS
BETTER THAN NEW!

Last year the American Automobile Association reported the
number one road-call headache was battery trouble. Yes, even
more than tires! Over 10,837,000 motorists with dead batteries
called for help.

Now, whether your battery is old or new, 6 volts or 12
WITHOUT ANY SKILL OR MECHANICAL KNOWL-
EDGE you can positively end battery failure once and
for all from harmful sulfation.

If you have a new battery

AD-X2 will keep it new. Hold back the harmful sulfation. Mile
after mile, day after day your battery will deliver the same high
power.

You know, even a new car often has to have its battery charged
before it can be driven from the show room floor.

But no matter how long you leave your car stand idle—months
or years — at the touch of the starter your engine will turn over.

If your battery is 12 months old or more

AD-X2 will remove that destructive sulfation.

Used car dealers and garagemen constantly boost old batteries
into the appearance of life. But the first cold day that sulfated
battery can’t deliver the necessary 250 or more amps it takes to
start your car. With a sickening groan your battery dies.

But no matter how tough and hard your plates may be, adding
AD-X2 will make them soft and porous again.

Even if your battery has already needed expensive servicing
it will stand by you like new. With AD-X2 it will recharge itself
as you drive. Give you trouble free service for years to come.

‘When you step out into a day that bites your nose, freezes the
lock on your car door—with AD-X2 added, you can be sure your
battery will turn your engine over.

For the first time in your life you'll be driving a car with a
battery that's completely and fully charged. No lost materials,
no sulfation. You'll be getting the same 1,250 to 1,300 s.g. read-
ing that battery delivered the day it was made.

Play the radio, use the heater, defroster, electric windshield
wipers. Your battery will recharge itself completely. And fast!

Even if you now have a dead battery:
If it's mechanically sound, so great is the miraculous power of
AD-X2, that you can extend its life for years to come.

YOU SAVE 5 WAYS WITH
AD-X2 ADDED TO YOUR BATTERY

Saving #1. You save the $18.00 to $40.00 you'd normally expect
to pay for a new battery after a few years.

Saving #2. You save the expense and trouble of having to have
your car with its dead battery, towed.

Saving +3. You save the cost of battery service calls. You won't
need a “quick-charge” or booster of any kind. As you
drive, your battery will completely recharge itself.

Saving #4. You will never-have to pay to repair costly damage
to your transmission caused by having to be pushed to
get started.

Saving #5. Worry and Aggravation. No one can say how much
it’s worth to never worry again that your car won't start.
You will start, even if every car on the block has to call
a serviceman.

On the baek of this folder you will find more informa-
tion and details concerning this wonder-working dis-
covery. FIND OUT FOR YOURSELF. Try AD-X2 on a
no-risk special DOUBLE GUARANTEE.

You will receive a 3 package treatment of AD-X2. When the
postman delivers this amazing product, DEPOSIT $3.00 with him.

Then, if you have a 6 volt battery put one package in each cell.
Just unscrew the 3 knobs at the top of the battery and pour in
‘AD-X2 — just like sugar.

If you have a 12 volt battery put half of each envelope in each
opening. (Exact measurement not needed.)
