BATTERY ATTENTION /,
IS MOST ESSENTIAL
First Act of New Car Owner
Should Be Strong Test,
Says Rosengren.
DISCHARGE is CONTINUOUS

The first thing that the owner Of
new automobile should do is to
go to the battery service station and
let the battery expert test his battery,
according to Mr.. Elmer Rosengren,
the local Willard expert. He gives
the following reasons for this:
THE battery really commences to
wear the instant that It is assembled.
AS long as the plates are in contact
with the electrolyte, the battery is
slowly discharging itself.
'If, therefore, an automobile is a
long time in transit from the manu-
facturer to the dealer and then is a
long time in the hands OF the dealer,
it is entirely possible that the battery
may have become considerably dis
charged. This slow discharge is per-
fectly natural. Before the car owner
puts it to hard usage he should have
it fully charged. If this is once done,
the generator should keep it in that
condition.
1T is to prevent the motorist start
ing out with half charged battery
when ne expects July charged one
that we advise all new car owners to
have their batteries tested immedi-
ately.
This step is really more than just
seeing that the motorist gets the full
value for the money spent on his
machine. 1t is really the first step in
assuring him long and useful life
OF service from his battery, for If
the battery starts its life fully charged
and then is closely watched by the
owner during the first three months
Of its life the odds are a thousand to
one that it will give little trouble. If,
on the other hand, it goes into COM
mission half charged, this condition
gets worse and worse until finally the
battery is thoroughly starved and the
owner thoroughly disgruntled. This
starved condition is particularly bad,
for no amount of charging at the
service station will put the battery
back in the excellent condition in
| which it was at the start"

"Owners of ordinary touring cars

AN Switzerland that perhaps never

mobiles within its confines. And al
most all of these machines have been

But there is Mitchell distributor
down there, at La Paz, who has the
courage of Pizarro, the faith OF an
Indian in the development OF the
great country and the loyalty OF Boz
iiyian in the future Of Cordillera
crossed country, who expects some
day TO exchange automobiles for the
money OF the biggest land owners
and demonstrate that Bolivia will be
an absorber OF motor cars of no mean
Importance.
Senior Virginia Cattoretti is the "au-
tomobile king" Of Bolivia. He is a
native OF Italy and has been in South
America eleven years. Tall, athletic
and a keen lover of sports, Senior
Cattoretti became obsessed with BIZ
cycle sport in Chill and Bolivia and
won many stirring victories several
years ago. II fell TO his lot to get
Mitchell car and with this he made
several long trips through the Andes,
climbing passes and demonstrating
not only the endurance and stamina OF
the Mitchell. but his own grit as
driver,
When he achieved the record Of be-
ing the first pilot Of an automobile to
Titicaca lake, $4,000 feet above sea
level, Senior Cattoretti began TO study
the map OF Wisconsin to locate RAJ
cine, the home Of the Mitchell Motors
Company, Inc. He wanted to visit the
factory and converse with Engineer
John w. Bate. He knew, intuitively,
that the Mitchell that climbed to Lake
Titicaca would pass current at more
than par in Bolivia.

Gently Senor Cattoretti visited the
Mitchell plant. His conference with

peared to give the impression that
Senior Cattoretti feared not the stu.
pendous handicaps nature had thrown
tip against motor car operation in
Boliyia.--that he called the Mitchell
machine that conquered the climb to
Titicaca "the father Of the automo-
bile" in Bolivia and would import
every Mitchell he could get for the
business his keen insight into South
American conditions realized was
coming.
