Gentlemen: /
The late Dr. George A. Graham pur
chased a Buick Pour car in February 1917
and had driven it 19,000 miles in December
1922 when he sold it to the. Up to that
time the batteries had never been recharg
ed, although in use over a period of nearly
six years.
I drove the car 4,000 miles more Before
it bi^ame necessary to exchange it for new
ones. 1 did not know the trade name of the
Batteries 1 had been using; but had decided
If they were EXIDE' BATTERIES 1 would
buy Exide again.
’Naturally anybody would want the
same brand as the sort which had lasted
him six years without recharging, and which
had giveji him light and power over a road
twenty-three thousand 'miles long.
So, when we took the old ^ead batteries
there on the side of the 1k>x was the name
**EXIDE** and the date, September 1916,
printed on ».metal plate, showing that Ex-
ides had done the fine work and that ybii
were going strong for a sale. ' •

' So 1 am now using EXIDES and expect
tr prove again their excellence.
Yours very truly,

a most favorable impression up
on her guests on this occasion.
