Free examination and unbiased

DRIVE around to the Prest-O-Lite Service Station
this week and let experts give your battery the
once-over.- Get ready for the motoring season just ahead.
No matter what make your battery is, the service ^
station's job is to examine it and advise you intelligently
and honestly. Maybe it doesn't need so much as a drink
of distilled water.
Anyhow, it won't cost you a nickel to find out. And
now's the time to do that. Some little five-minute ad
justment NOW may save you the price of a new battery
later.
You are careful to see that your car has gas, oil and
water. Don't overlook that equally important element
-battery-juice. Ever^ Prest-O-Lite Service Station is
a life-extension dispensary for batteries.
When you do need a new battery, you'll be glad to
know that Prest-O-Lite is back to pre-war prices and
that an allowance will be made on your old battery. Get
that examination now.
