BATTERY SERVICE
IMPORTANT ITEM
Average Car Owner Can't BE
Expected to AnalyZe His
Electric Plant, Says Baird.

"How in the world can / tell which Is
the best battery? They all look alike
and each manufacturer claims his Is the
best. So what's a fellow to do: says
X. L. Baird, local dealer.
This is the universal complaint OF
motorists faced with the necessity OF
buying a new battery and sums up
problem which is as vital as it is per-
picking.
"Of course, the average car owner
cannot be expected to analyze the tech.
nical reasons advanced in SUPPORT of
the claims of any particular battery. any
more than he can judge of watch
time keeping ability by looking at the
works But if he follows the same plan
in selecting a storage battery that he
uses in buying a watch. he will obtain
equally satisfactory results.
For in buying watch or a storage
battery, the only safe guide is the rep
utation of the maker and the experlened
of others who have used it. And IN This
respect it is well to bear in mind that
the Exide starting and lighting battery
is made by the worlds largest lnaker
of storage batteries for every purpose.
The single fact that the Exide battery
is the embodment of more than -
years manufacturing experience Is suf-
ficient to guarantee that this battery

and such veterans as shall die here
after: to inculcate a sense of individual

nation: to combat the autocracy of both
the class and the masses; to make right

INDUSTRIAL GROWTH OF AUTOS
DURING PAST few YEARS GREAT
Billion Dollars in Manufacturing Now, and Earn
ings Are Enormous; Depletion of Stock by War
Will Prevent Overproduction for Years to Come.

year will far exceed 1919. and should
run from 100000 to 3,500.0OO cars,
including trucks. Production will be
limited by ability of manufacturers and
parts makers to secure steel and ether
metals and labor. Production will be
nowhere equal to the demand and if it
shopld run at a rate of 100000 cars
be expected Cars are being designed
better than formerly and lasting longer.
Replacement business will not amount to
as much in proportion in future as in the
past. but this is in the tendency of great
er economy in the entire industry and in
use of automobiles, and should be bene
fit rather than a detriment.
1T will be impossible for supply to
overtake demand within three years,
after which the rehabilitation of other
portions of the world and demand from
them upon us for motor car means of
transportation will be sufficient to af-
ford an excellent market for many
years.
Shares Split Again.
No better illustration of the profitable
character of the motor stock investment
could be offered than that of the Gen
eral Motors company. which is unQueS-
tionably. in point of capitalization. the
