MR. MOTORIST, HOW ABOUT THAT BATTERY?

You have undoubtedly drained the radiator, relieved the tii-es of their load and made other cold weather preparations due your ca r, but your battery—are you takii lg chances with that? _ Is it out in your f old garage inviting ruin which perl laps a few degrees lower tempera.tu.re will accomplish? A battery, you know,, freezes at temperature s varying with the amount of churge in it. There is only one antifreeze remedy for a storage buttery and that’s a full charge. At this point it withstands 98 degrees bodow zero. - A battery will discharge some, even though it is idle, and cells will become dead and freeze lik e water, so you can’t feel safe just because it was the last time you used it. If you are not using your car let us explain or “wet and dry” methods of storing. It costs very little s and is the best battery insurance in the world. ’Phone for information if you wish.—RENSSELAER ELECTRIC CO.
