Show SHOULD FREQUENTLY TEST BATTERIES No motor car owner would think of womloring why his car would not run if his gasoline tank were empty, and, when one stops to think of it, the same principle applies to storage batteries. As explained by the storage battery men of the Tnter-Mountain Electric company, Salt Lake, the battery is ; often growing weaker and weaker with-j with-j out the owner 's knowing anything about it. He may drive his car "a great deal ! at night, especially during the summer months, with his electric lights consuming consum-ing almost as much current as is being generated. Perhap? he is driving short distances and opeiating his starter frequently, fre-quently, without putting back into the battery the same amount of current he : talt os out of it. All of these things require more or ; less care on the part of t lie car owner, and a weak battery is seldom heard of where the proper attention i? given it. 1 It is a very simple matter to take a hydrometer test or the battery to determine de-termine what condition it is in. A great many .people do not make this tet themselves, but rely upon the Willnnl : battery service station maintained by the Inter-Mountain Iilertric eonipanv at ; its establishment on East Fourth youth i street, where tests are made free at anv 1 time and any wanted surest ions are ' given regarding the care and operation! of the electric svstem. The station is I in charge of a battery expert. |
