Charges that fraud was practiced In
the recent by-elections in Cuba have

niirliic the Cuban nemile that the elec

honest, even if directed by the Cuban
Government."
(Jenernl Gomez, asserted that General

You have a right to expect more
You pay a good deal of attention to your
choice of tires perhaps because you sec
them all the time. Have you also deter
mined which is the one best battery for
your car?
Be critical of batteries, particularly of
the Exide. You have a right to expect
more than the ordinary lasting-power from
an, Exide Battery. It was the first start
ing and lighting battery for automobiles,
as it had been the pioneer in other fields
long before there was such a thing as an
automobile.
The Bell Telephone System, Marconi
Wireless, central power and lighting sta
tions great industries of all kinds depend
on the Exide's ungrudging power. A ma
jority of the world's submarines are pro
pelled under the sea by Exide Batteries.
Take a few minutes to come in here and
examine the Exide made for your car. See
for yourself why it will give you long-lasting
power and care-free service.
