SOUTH AMERICANS LIKE THEIRS "BONE DRY" One of the beet known Journals nubllshed for the automobile trade, re cently, said, "In shipping: batteries -to South America, there is but one euc cssful way; to get them there, and that is to; ship them bone dry." Mr. William Kenapaaka, proprietor of the "Wtmlham Battery explaining his statement, called attention to some facts which are Of interest to every motorist in Vi lllimantlc "This statement did not ro far said Mr. "for there is only one way to ship batteries anywhere and that is bone dry. Here's the-' point. From the time a battery is filled with acid solution and charged, it sarts to live.

If it Is filled at the factory, 'it lives part of its life on a freight car and more of it on the deal shelf. If this filling Is done jUBt before the customer takes delivery of tho battery, all this life is saved and I used in hi car instead of on the nhdif. While this is Important when lite battery must travel lone distances I rt. Cniith Itnarlpa Knllt-h Africa nnH futstralia. It is also important when it In shipped to points in our own coun try.

'o man wants to pay- for battery life he doesn't get. The only battery which can really be shipped bone dry is the Still Better Willard rcith Threaded- Rubber Insulation, Borne batteries are filled and charged RTrd then emptied but this is not really 'Bene Dry' as the article points out. "not turned upside down and Ith batteries wlh Threaded Rubber Insulation shipped bone dry, the acid Is never put into the battery until th Willard service Station delivers it to a custdmcr. "If the car owner in South America demands bone dry batteries, why shouldn't the American motorist re-t-elve the same advantage. He can.

If he will insist on Threaded Rubber In-Rulated Batteries which are always hipped and stored Bone Dry. Norwich Bulletin, Willimantic Of fice, Church Telephone 105. What Is Going On Ttonight. Obwebetuck lodge. No.
