gets the greatest power, the most service
and the longest life from his storage
battery is the one who is cnutious In
the care of it and makes It a practice
to examine It nt least once every week
in summer and once every two weeks in
winter to see that the liquid solution is
up to the proper level.
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.
Look at our battel- occnsloimllj ,
and if the solution has sprit cd or
spilled, wipe clean with a moist sponge
i)on't lay tools, or an.ithing ele.
across the top' of our battery.
Kciiifiiilici- that oiir batter isn t o
peeted to keep splnninf? your engine
several minutes nt n time. It can do
it but It Is bound to shorten the bat
tery's life.
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.
If you cannot easily locate, the troulilc,
go to a service station and have an in
spection made.

MOTOR TESTING VALVE
Every pulsation of your motor the very heart of tlio car is dis
tinctly heard when the Goodrich Testing Valve is opened.

the vital factor
In truck-fleet operation
The greater the distribution of commodities through' the
agency of the motor truck or commercial delivery car, the
more vital is the need for an assured supply of the fuel upon
which its operation depends.. . v
, Consider, for example, the truck fleets which distribute the
city's supply of meats or groceries from the wholesale ware
houses; coal for the thousands of homes; merchandise from
the great department stores ; express parcels from the railway
depots. 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.
