VETERAN BATTERY
MAN IN STATEMENT
Points Out the Value of the
Modern Storage Bat
terry Nowadays.

F. W Dempsey. Hammond's veter-
an battery man, proprietor OF the
Dempsey Battery Station. 31S Fayetts
street. has probably given more study
to the battery problem than any man
IN Lake county. He knows It from
every angle and when he pushes the
Vesta storage battery the public can
rest assured that there is a reason.
The three great improvements n
battery making are Indestructable Is
o~lators. Impregrated Mats, Poro-hard
Plates. and the use of ~Titanium.~ says
Mr.. Dempsey. All Of these improve
ments are covered by L. S. basic pat
ents and can be used by no other man
ufacturer but vesta. These are the
result Of eighteen years experience in
manufacturing storage cells and are
the secret Of the long great capacity
and increased satisfaction from the
use of the V~esta.'
Mr.. Dempsey also handles q line Of
accessories and has just added the
Mflburn electric brake for use on the
electric cars. This brake operated BY
a slight motion Of the hand slows the
car down instantly without the usual
grinding Of brake bands. The action
is brought about by the use OF mag
netized coils which arrest the motion
