First have your battery registered
Immediately by returning the attach
ed registration form properly filed in.
It does not matter what kind of a
battery you have, 1t does not have to
be Willard.
Keep all cells filed with pure Dis
TITLED Water, to q level OF one half
inch above top OF plates. Never fill
cells full. We sell pure distilled water
| Never use the battery IL 1t leaks.
\ but keep plates covered with water
(any kind) until you can bring the
battery In for repairs. Limit time to
ten hours. We will rent you one of
tours while making repairs.
Test specific gravity of all cells
/ with hydrometer syringe on the first
and fifteenth of every month. II any
cells read below 1850 on two success
sive test dates bring battery in at
once. Something is wrong. We will
sell you a hydrometer syringe and
teach you how to operate it, for one
Y dollar.
Never allow your battery to become
heated to a temperature of over 10
degrees Far. Feel the lead straps on
the top of the battery twice day and
il warm to the feel, burn all lights it
you are driving. II the temperature
ever reached 1t9 degrees Far. the
wood separators would probably be
Il ruined.
ANY storage battery will wear out
In time: Man has not been able to
to make a storage battery which will
last forever, and stand up under un-
limited abuse and neglect. No bate
ry 10 proof against starvation, thirst.
overwork, overheating, or the cold of
winter. Do not be misled by foolish
statements to the contrary.
A battery Ia not like solid bar of
steel. It is complex chemical appa-
ratus and Is In constant process of
change, whether on charge, or dis
charge or simply setting in an idle
car.
Almost all battery troubles are pre-
ventable and to prevent them you
must know their cause. We know the
cause of all battery troubles and will
gladly tell you that you may guard
against them, but you must register
your battery. NOW. Registration
and the service we render Is free to
all. We will not only tell you IL your
battery is doing its share of the work,
and getting its wants taken care of,
but we will tell you II your electrical
system Is doing what 1t is supposed to
do or overriding 1t. Our expert on this
class of work can make 1t do its duty
II 1t Is not. Our charge for this kind
OF work is the same as other standard
electrical repair men charge.
! Storage of Batteries for the Winter.
We realize as you do that you will
probably not use your car for several
months this winter, and as we are
baBing our future business on SER
| VICE to our customers we want every
car owner to know that his battery
will FREEZE and be ruined IL he
does not give IL a world of care.
To make 1t easy for battery owners
to forget their battery when they put
the car away, we are equipping q reg
ular Willard Storage Room so as to

old we will store 1t for you from the
time you bring il in till you want 1t
next spring in what we call WET

will fully charge 1t when you bring 1t
In and keep 1t fully charged all the
time until you want 1t next year. We
will furnish the distilled water 1t will
drink and the current to keep It
charged free, but you pay us a fee
of Ave dollars for our services. 1t will
not freeze. You cannot lose it as our
registration system assures you your
own battery next spring. Then you
have battery when you want it.
