Luther Burbank made two blades of grass grow where only one grew before, which was a great thing for the farmer. Vesta makes one battery last the life of two, a saving of fifty per cent for the auto owner. If you need hay see Luther, but if you want a battery as good as the rest of your car, let the Vesta man explain to you the difference in batteries. A salesman for alarge ibattery concern spent a day with us last week advising us to put in a service station for their battery. His main argument was that we wouldn’t get enough battery repairing to keep us alive with the Vesta line. ■ We don’t want a big repair 'business for we figure such a business would ibe founded on dissatisfaction. To enjoy a healthy business our customerc must be satis fled, both wit Ethe action of their battery and the service we render. This does not mean we do not repair batteries for we-do, and we do it right, but when every car is equipped with a Vesta battery there will be very little repair work needed on the battery itself. We figure we will be busy keeping the motors, generators, regulators, wiring, etc., in perfect condition.—RENSSELAER GARAGE. Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Burling and daughter, who live southeast of Remington, went to Chicago this morning, where they will have a specialist examine the daughter’s throat. Dr. Besser, of Remington, accompanied them. - . ■■ ; . • ,r . . '
