A salesman for a large battery concern spent a day with us recently advising us to put in a service station for their battery. His main argument was tnat 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, dtc., In perfect condition. — RENSSELAER GARAGE.
