"Ten minutes a month is all the time required for such an inspection. Regular addition of approved water is an absolute necessity.Often a little corrosion removed from the terminals or a t ightening ofthe connections or cables will prevent future trouble. The chargingrate of your generator should be properly adjus ted to meet the differencebetween summer and winte r driving.

MOTORISTS often ask," said Mr. Cook, the local Exide Dealer,"why some batt e ri es last longer than o th er s. T he a nswe r i ssimple-they last longer because, other things being equal, theyget better care and attention. Now, a storage battery, as a r ul e, requires very l i t tle attention, but in these day s o f hust l e and bust le it iseasy for a motorist to fo rget the l i t tle black box hidden beneath thedriver's seat. As a consequence most batteries are grossly neglected.Unfortunately, this tendency seems t o be growing every day.

"I f you want long, satisfactory battery service and negligible repairbills-don't neglect your battery. Remember your battery, like yourt ee th , mu st b e given regular attention. In fact, we are willing to lookover any motor is t 's battery , if he wishes to drive in. A new set ofspark plugs will also help."

"Once it is installed, the average motorist forgets his batttery untilit begins to give him trouble. Then, and not until then, he takes it to aservice station for a "going over." Usually when thi s happens he i s i nneed of repai r work and may be surprised at the size o f h is repair bill."Large bat tery repai r bills are unnecessary . The engineers o f t heworld's largest manufacturers of storage batteries, The Electric StorageBattery Company, claim that a monthly inspection of a battery will goa long waytoward insuring maximum life. Furthermore it will domuchto keep down the upkeep costs.

"All of t hese jobs are sma ll a nd c an b e quickly attended to. Buti f t he y a re neglected t hey a r e apt to necessitate the spending of manydollars fo r repai rs and, sometimes, a new battery.
