Soldier, in the National Cemetery at Arlington. His voice was heard simultaneously by vast throngs in New Yerk, Chicago and San Francisce. In this modern miracle that seemed te knit our nation into one great family, Exide Batteries played an important part; for Exides were relied upon te provide current for the amplifiers that magnified the President's voice. Exides also supplied the powerte send the words ever the telephone wires, just as when you telephone it is an Exide Battery that carries your voice. The development of the storage battery and its place in peace and war has been little else than a record of the Exide. The original starting and lighting battery for automobiles was an Exide. The Exide, made for your car today, has built into it all the lessens of the past. The result is a ruggedly efficient battery that you can depend upon te last a very long time.
