Batteries? Only One for Me
If you saw batteries every day as I do you'd
say the same, and your choice—like mine—
would be Willard every time.
You'd know—as I do—that every Willard
Battery is built to give full battery value for
every penny that's paid for it—that every
piece of insulation, every plate, every jar,
is known to be right before it leaves the
factory.
We keep a complete stock of Willard Bat
teries —and can supply a new one fully charged
and ready for use on your car. If you need
battery repairs, we'll furnish you with a
rental battery, so that your car can be kept
constantly in service.
