to keep it in good shape. But this
is a late day for him to be getting
this information. The battery has al
ready suffered, and no of fix
ing and tinkering could put it back
in it's original fine condition. In other
words, the first three months of a
battery.s life, the very period in
which the motorist knows least about
it, is the period in which it ought to
be given the most and the best care.
Experience, observation and the re-
suits of tests of the Willard Storage
Battery Company have proved this
fact beyond all doubt, and this COM
pany at least, is taking steps to see
that the battery receives care during
this period, by instituting at all its
Service Stations a special 80 day plan,
by means of which the new car owner
registers his battery at the Service
Station and reports eve so often
thereafter to allow the battery to be
looked into by an expert in charge.

"From what I have seen and heard

president and director of sales Of the
~Studebaker corporation, who was one

Chicago shows, 81 am convinced the
Series 18 Studebaker cars will make
motor car history. 1t is one more
Studebaker design that fixes new
standards of value-that gives to the
public a new conception of motor car
worth at popular prices. AS a Stude-
baker stands today, it is the result Of
years of concentrated effort on a
single basic design by u engineers
and designers to produce a car that
can compete successfully with any
other a for public favor. The fact
that the Studebaker was so nearly 100
per cent perfect was brought home to
us when we came to plan the Series
18. After studying the situation from
every angle, we were forced to the
conclusion that, point by point, in
construction, power and quality, the
