In commenting on the activities of
National Thrift Week which begins
today, January 17. 1 ?2f>. with "Thrift
Day.” . F’ostrnast*'!- M. \V Williams
points out that it is particuUirl’y fe-
ting the Postal Service should play an
important part hi these activities mi!
pay tribute to the first and forernos: |
advocate of thrift—Benjamin Frank-i

eral and renowned its a phiiosoidier.

ti^t. his name will ne doubr live long
est by the impression he has made a-
an advocate of thrift. .Many -of »•!.- j
writings on thrift, have J-ev >me cias- \
sit s ami will be remembered a-s long |
j as our language is read . One of ill - j
most famous sayings—-"Never forget!
j to have a penny when all thy expo-
enumerated and paid”— a p-
. the leaflet which the Post
Office Department is putting into ev-
ery home today. Postmaster- General
New in an address delivered at k 1924
thrift week meeting in Washington
said that if you add this expression
that other one of Franklin's—“Inc;ur
no expense, except that which, does
good to others or yours'elf.”—you will
have said all there is to say on the
subject of thrift.

a battery cheap

The price is only one—and the least oiie—
of three things that tell whether a battery is
a good bargain. Morefimportant consider-
ations are: How long will it last and how
few will be the repairs ? One repair job may
change the lowest-priced battery into the
most costly.
The true way to put a value on your bat-
tery is to take the first cost, add the repair
bills, and consider the length of time the
battery lasts. Do this and you will find that
an Exide Battery costs you less than any
other per month and per year of service.

Now, even the first cost of an Exide is low
—with the quality as-high as ever.
