DENY SWHlDLE
in BATTERIES
Dealers Here Declare No
Dishonest Goods Are
On Market.
PARTS PURCHASED
Small Manufacturer Enabled
To Build Up Business
Under Present System.

Charges recently made of a ma
tional swindle involving saivaging
OF discarded batteries and lfeir
reassembling AMI sale for new, are
declared groundless as applied TO
washington. according to battery
dealers and distributors here.
No instances OF dishonesty IN the
manufacturing and sale OF batteries
here have been uncovered, say
dealers who have looked into the
matter following the statement
published recently that motorists
were being .tricked by purchase Of
secondhand batteries, Nude from
discarded parts. and sold for new.
Explain About RebuiIinx.
Dealers and battery journeymen in
Washington who make a practice
OF rebuilding batteries and repairing
batteries all explained their actions
were entirely known to their c..s-
tcmers. They state they make the r
own batteries from new parts puI =
chased from manufacturers. pei nat :
ting sales Of complete batteries at
little below the standard price.
Activities of the smaller dealers
and journeymen dealing in batteries
were explained yesterday by NJ. ;.
Sturgeon, president of the Ameri-
can Batteries Manufacturing Com
pany. Inc, 3lI Pennsylvania avenue
northwest.
Sell Manufactured Parts.
Battery manufacturers some.
times in addition to securing serv-
ice station representatives, when
ever possible sell the standard man
ufactured parts that go into the
assembly of a battery to any dealer
or battery journeyman who wishes
to go into business for himself un-
der his own name. and a man can
buy these parts and build the bat
terry for approximately half the
price a distributor representing one
of these dozen or so national con-
Germs is required to pay" Mr.. Stur-
geon explained
Therefore. the small dealer can
sell for less. He buys his boxes
from the same box makers as do all
the rest. his jars from the rubber
companies. and so on.
The public need not fear the
product of the small dealer building
up business among h!s friends.
This battery industry is in the hands
of the many and not a few big cor
porations. and 1t is destined to stny
that way" he concluded.
