LOCATES IN CITY
Messrs. White Become Inter
ested in Concern That May
Revolutionize Business.
NEW CHEMICAL FORMULA
Manufacturing to Be Carried on For
Time Being at Buggy Factory
on Fifth Avenue.

Final papers were fled at the court
house today completing the incorpor
alton of the Victor Storage Battery
company. a new 100000 corporation
whose home will be in this city.
At a meeting the stockholders held
yesterday officers were elected. Gus
r. Brown OF Galena. Ill. a well known
lead miner and capitalist. is presi-
dent; George White, president of the
George White Buggy company Of this
city, is vice president; b F. White,
owner of the Arsenal Narnish COM
pany OF this city. is secretary, and T.
d. White, secretary Of the George
White Buggy company, is treasurer OF
the new company.
The new company will manufacture
storage batteries for automobile start
ing and lighting and for house light
ing purposes. Within a year batter
les for electric vehicles will also be
manufactured.
E. E. Winters of Chicago, under
whose formulas the batteries will be
made, has accomplished something
which has heretofore been impossible
in the manufacture of lead plate
batteries. He has produced a battery
the plates Of which will not sulphate
or buckle. Sulphation causes a growth
on the battery plates due TO chemical
action which eventually covers such
an area of each plate that the eficien-
cy of a battery is reduced to such an
extent after six or nine months use
new plates must be inserted and in
most cases a new battery purchased.
In overcoming sulphation of battery
plates Mr.. Winters has removed the
chief cause of trouble in a storage
battery.
Ten Years In Perfectins Formulas.
IA motorist having a self-starter on
his car, when laying up the car for

this should not be done the battery

is expected to use one thousand peo-
pie. All of the costumes are furnish
ed for the show, so that one will not
have to trouble about that. 1t will be
a big entertainment, the most ambi-
tious one the Y. NJ. c. A. has ever had
since the Parada. The Y. NJ. c. A.
could not do this on so large a scale
if it were not for the interest and
help of a large number of people
throughout the city.
