"It Wins O. K."
Some day you may be saying that about your
batten.1.
Of course you'll believe it.
Yet your battery may have been getting nearer
and nearer to the failing point every day on account
of trouble that you could have headed off weeks ag>
if you had only known.
You may have let the water get low.
You may have used more current than has been
replaced.
You may have let a connection work loose.
But whatever you did, the weakness would have
been uncovered by an inspection and a simple hydrom-
eter test.
If you haven't a hydrometer and have never in-
spected your battery or made a test, come in and let
us explain.
