This Company has just been incorporated. II
controls the best and most improved system Of
propelling street cars by s STORAGE BATTERIES
ID can be used with both the overhead or conduit
and will control patents covering these points
Everybody admits that the COMING system fol
propelling street cars Is that Of the STORAGE
BATTERY. This the Union Electric Car Com
pany now controls. II is no experiment, but az
absolute certainty and It Is believed that their,
will take the place Of other systems Of Electric
Street Railroads now in use.
When Electric Cars are brought to stop OF
heavy grades, a great amount OF power Is re
quired and is lost. By our method all hatpOwe
Is held, and used over again, consequently q say
ing is made in this direction.
II is said that so far there is no system Of stor
age battery OF sufficient power to propel Electric
Cars successfully, which Is fact, when used b,
those cars now In use but by our system, so mucl
less power is required to propel a car, that til,
storage battery Will do the business successfully
The reason is this
That by all other systems In use the machinery
required TO propel car is exposed 10 the dust
dirt and weather and the cogs become gritty oil
account Of the adhesion OF fine dust and dirt
which causes a continued grinding and hart
wear, and TO grind this iron and steel requires al
immense amount Of power, which OF course is s,
much unnecessary waste and expense, as II Is no
only taking more power TO run tne car but IL i
also wearing out the machinery very fast. Gu
system overcomes all this, as the coRs are htte,
together with the utmost care, and are enclosed
very securely in oil chambers, In which they re
tear Is avoided and but a small proportion o
power Is required TO run the machinery.
Arrangements are being made for putting thi
system In Newport, X. l., and in Newton ant
Danvers, Mass. The company furnish and full
equip cars for any Street Railway line, and AMI
Il, Il. Co., with fair roadbed can at once put thu
fcarsdn service on their road
1t has been seen by many prominent and prac
teal Street Railway men and is endorsed By
them.

tric Car Co. is now offered at SIS per share.
