These periodical tests are highly Im portant. The enable you to tell in nil vnnce when your battery Is in danger of being ruined through undercharging or overheating, when minor troubles in the electrical system nre draining the strngth and endurance of your battery, when mi inexpensive freshening rhnrge would sne expensive dismantling and rebuilding later. Here lire u tew simple instructions, which, if followed, will lengthen the life of our batter, nnd give more snt isfactor sei vice. I'lider tm circumstances use an thing but pure distilled water. "ISolled" water will not do, it must be distilled water fioui which all impurities .which would injure the batter have been re moved. If on do not care to add dis tilled water ourself make arrangements with the neiuest service -Station to do it for ou. Acid or olettrol.vte should never be added except b an expel t battery man. All metal parts of nmnectors, which are not lead -coated, should be kept covered with a thin coating of vaseline.

If your engine does not start promptly when you .operate your starter, make sure your Ignition switch Is turned on and that our carburetor mixture Is rich enough before using ottr sinner again. In cold weather if your engine doesn't start promptly see whether It is being sufficiently "primed." If our battery Ih to stand idle with .mi. ,.ni .mi f I'limmlxHloti for a month in- more nt a time, take It out of the car nnd leave it Willi a wrvice siawon to be cared for. If your lights nro dim or there are any otner lnuiciuionn ui jour umn.j Is '"tun down," It may be due to the fact that you are running the car too mi.. i,. t.-ren tho batterv charged or the generator may not be charging properly, or a wire "short circuited.

Without gasoline they would be helpless. That is j why truck fleet owners assure themselves in advance of their year's supply of gasoline. The big majority of them "sign up" with The Atlantic Refining Company. They take into consideration Atlantic responsibility the ability of one of tlie world's largest refiners of petroleum products to' assure them, clean, powerful, unifornj gasoline the year 'round. They count upon the Atlantic reputation and equipment for service; and upon the fact that Atlantic is subject to none of the dangers of- interrupted supply that may result from con gested transportation; Atlantic is delivered direct from Atlan tic refineries whichMire located right here and receive the crude oils by pipe Hires direct from the wells. aw Pvst Pep in o ur Ma t as" THE ATLANTIC REINING COMPANY Philadelphia 1 u wmi iBzxa 'A -to it&rt li-l,r -i " .. ss ' . , ILX, . ltim II. ..... . -- - -r. , ,Lm
