While County Clerk Pearce Patton
was busy with thep roceedings of the
Fiscal Court yesterday Miss Grace
Haskins presided in the office. and
while busy issuing dog licenses, was
approached by tall, lanky country
man, who asked for a license. Think
ing the man wanted a dog license

bile license, and not dog license.
Miss Haskins told him what to do

HARRISBURG IS
DISTRIBUTING
POINT FOR USL
New Bettery Firm Covers
Nineteen Counties in Cen
trail Pennsylvania

Announcement is made by Charles
L. Merrill. president of the Battery
Service Corporation. that his new
ly-organized firm will act as factory
distributors for U s L batteries in
nineteen counties of Central Penn
sylvania. The Battery Service Cor
poration is composed of Harrisburg
men with Mr.. Merrill, who was for
merIy service manager for the U. S.
Light and Heat Corporation of Ma
CARA Falls, n. Y. manufacturers of
the U S L Battery, as president.
Their headquarters are at 206
North Second street, the storeroom
formerly occupied by the Dauphin
Tire Service Corporation. They will
conduct both a retail and wholesale
business in U S l. Batteries for this
point. They have installed all the
latest equipment for recharging and
repairing batteries here. 1t is their
intention to give service and do re-
pair work and recharging for all
makes of batteries.
The counties that they will cover
include Dauphin, Lebanon, Berks,
Lancaster, York, Cumberland, Full
ton, Franklin, Adams, Perry, Mifflin,
Juniata, Huntington, Center, Lycom-
ing, Northumberland, Snyder, Clin-
ton, and Union. They have already
established branches. at Reading.
York, Lancaster, Lewistown. Cham
bersburg, Waynesboro and other
cities. This distributing point is one
of the thirty-four established in the
United States.
The U L. battery has been sold
in Harrisburg for some time, but
due to war conditions and the small
output because of lack of materials,
has not been pushed to any con-
siderable degree. A large mum ber
of cars are now being turned out
from factories with the U S L as
standard equipment and the need
for an up-to-the-minute service sta
ton here was seen. One of the fea-
lures of the U S L is the exclusive
machine pasted plates. The battery
is sold on a fifteen months guaran-
tee. Every battery is shipped here
dry charged" and the acid and 9TH
er ingredients are added when the
battery is placed in the car, making
1t the same as new battery leaving

FRANKLIN MAKES
GOOD SHOWING
ON LONG TRIP
Local Men Cover 407 Miles in
a Day to Washington
and Return

Driving a new Franklin touring
car that had been run less than 100
miles, G. C. Kerr of the Franklin
Sales and Service Company and
Harry Cooper of the Capitol City
Artificial Limb Company, made an
excellent record last Wednesday,
when they covered 407 miles on
trip through Hagerstown into West
virginia, Virginia, Washington and
return.
Leaving Harrisburg at a. m. the
route lead down the Cumberland
Valley. through Carlisle and over
the Walnut Bottom Road to Cham
bersburg where they branched off
going to Hagerstown. For there
they proceeded to Charlestown and
Leesburg, West Virginia. Business
was transacted at all the above
named places and time was taken
off for meals. etc. After finishing
up the business in Leesburg they
proceeded to Washington, D. c., and
from there returned to Harrisburg
by the way of Baltimore. They ar
rived home at / a. m. the next
morning after an elapsed time of
nineteen hours. This shows an av-
erage of nearly % miles an hour
for actual time. In gasoline con-
sumption. even though the car was
brand new, an average of 21 miles
per gallon was obtained. This
shows that while the Franklin is not
so fiashy and speeded in spurts tha-
it can make record time in long
distance running.
These records are being made
very frequently by Franklin cars all
fhn 1krxF ,,k
events held by dealers show that tho
Franklin not only lives up to its
reputation but in many instances
far exceeds 1t.
