A salesman for a large battery 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 be founded on dissatisfaction. To enjoy a healthy business our customers must be satisfied, both with the 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.

With very little expense this place could be made fairly passable until the rock is put on and the road fully improved. But the policy of our officers, whose duty i-t is to keep the roads in a passable condition, seems to be “the public be d —d,” and while it may be months, possibly not until late next fall, before this new rock road is completed—nothing whatever is said to be doing by the contractors at the present time —the traveling public will probably have to put up with this condition all of this time. And, in the meantime, our highly paid and wholly inefficient county highway superintendent is improving at county expense a street in Rensselaer which goes directly past his residence, and the $3,500 county steam roller and equipment, together with several teams and haulers are being used in this work of improving, a street in Rensselaer!
