Under most any kind of strain or test an International can be depended upon to perforin its work right. Built upon years of experience, there is very little room for improvement in any part of these trucks, a fact established by users all over the country. And a truck that is well built, must give dependable and economical service. That kind of truck means better hauling and de livery conditions.

ELECTRIC STOR AGE MATTERY ISEU ON AITOMOIIII.ES. The average motorist knows very little about this wonderful little "animal" and is inclined to neglect ii. The service demanded of it sim ply that it crank the motor, light the lights, blow the horn and furnish current for ignition, and so long as it does this in a satisfactory manner, it is judged by many to be all O.

Its healthy condition depends on plenty of nourishment: electricity as food and water as drink. Acid should r.over be added except by an expert In batteries.

As an illustration of the fallacy of deceptive.'advertising a case has *ust been brought to our attention in the preliminary hearing of D. J. Moran, manager of the Harrisburg Storage j Battery Company who has been held ; for court by Alderman Hoverter. j Moran is accused of using advertis- I ing signs and signatures that ari j copyrighted by the Willard Storage Battery Company of Cleveland wlth , out their permission. These signs I end signatures are used throughout ! the world by the Willard Company I and their authorized service stations. I The fact that these signs with their | particular coloring and type matter ' are recognized by the public to rep j resent Willard products and Willard Service they afe led to believe that | where-ever these signs are displayed j they can expect to find authorized I Willard service as advertised in their j insurance policies and genuine Wil- I lard products. Where this service is j advertised, but not obtainable either j with or without the knowledge of j the prospective cosrumers who has j been solicited to the of busl j ness by this advertising the customer is a greater looser than the com pany who spends millions of dollars' to bring to th e attention of the public the merit of their service and pro ducts. This case is scheduled to be tried in the March term of court.
