WHY FREQUENT TESTING OF
THE BATTERY is NECESSARY

"If storage battery would make
some noise," says Mr.. Henderson, the
local Willard Service Man, "a groan,
or squeak, or a rattle like other
parts of the machine do when they're
out Of order, it would be far better
treated. When the car owner hears
a squeak under the hood of his ma
chine, or a rattle in the body he
knows that there is something wrong
and is not content until it has been
corrected. It
SIT is entirely different with a bat
terry. 1t is to the average motorist
nothing more or less than a black
box. AS he cannot get into it, he is
not very much interested in its in
ternal working, and when anything
goes wrong with it, there is no noise
to warn him that all is not right.
"On this account it usually gets
little attention. Perhaps the motor
list thinks that because it is quiet it
is all right and he is, on that account,
apparently panied and shocked when
some day it actually refuses to work
for him.
"Even though the battery does
not make noise when it is not being,
we'll treated, there is one sure means
of telling its condition and that is by.
testing it with hydrometer syringe.
"Of course, the battery has to be
filled regularly with distilled water
and any car owner who knows the
first elements Of automobile and bat
terry care will do this. 1t is very
simple matter at this time for the
owner to stick hydrometer into the
battery and get the specific gravity
of it. The hydrometer reading is a
sure index of the battery's condition.
eve battery men realize that the
hydrometer test is the only means
which the car owner has of keeping
track of the condition of his battery,
that, where other parts of the ma
chine will give some indication of the
neglect or trouble, the battery keeps
silent. That is why we Willard Serv-
vice stateion me mare offering to test
any battery at any time.
Experience has taught us that
this is the most satisfactory all
around for the car owner, because it
does him thing that he might for
get to do or even if he thought of it,
neglect to do, for the battery manu-
facturer, because battery that. is
neglected will not give, good service
and the manufacturers product,
therefore, gets "black eye," to the
car manufacturer, when an accessory
of the machine goes wrong the own
err usually blames the machine itself
and not that accessory. Every one is
happier.
"Any car owner that is wise will
take advantage of this free service
that is offered. Battery tests tell a
more eloquent story about the bat
terry than squeaks or rattles do about
the rest of the machinery of the ma
chine"
