There is nothing so very costly about it, the chorus numbers less than a baker's dozen and there are none too many yoiccs, but still it 's a hit.

And now is a good time to introduce yourself to that service. Perhaps your car has been idle and the battery needs recharging. Or you may have been busy and neglected it. In either event, you should have it examined and at least have the terminals and holddowns cleaned, greased and tightened. On the other hand, if your battery is badly worn or giving you trouble, you may be able to make a saving by replacing it with an Exide at the present low price. But no matter what an examination reveals, rest assured that we will make n.o suggestions which are not necessary and economical for vou. Our chief concern is to make you our : atisfied customer-to save you money if we possibly can. Won't you give us this opportunity?
