Tonight, windfall. And the Whistler. And I know many things, or I walk by night. I know many strange tales. Many secrets hidden in the hearts of men and women who have stepped into the shadows.
Presently, I'll tell you about nameless terrors of which they dare not speak. But first, a word about the growing battery shortage and what to do about it. Because of increasing needs of our motorized army, It looks as if this winter's battery shortage will be even more acute than last year, when one out of every four cars needing a new battery couldn't get one.
Well, fortunately, most batteries can be made to give extra months of service if they're given the care that your signal gasoline dealer is prepared to give yours. One, distilled water must be maintained at the proper level to prevent warping of the plate.
two, terminals must be chemically cleaned of corrosion and protected with lubricant, and three, to make sure that you won't find your battery dead some morning, the amount of charge should be determined occasionally by a hydrometer test.
Should your present battery be too worn to take a recharge, now is a good time to find that out, while most signal gasoline dealers still have a limited number of deluxe quality signal batteries on hand.
Guaranteed by signal oil company up to two years of service. So make sure that the battery shortage won't cripple your car. Have your battery serviced this week by your neighborhood signal gasoline dealer. And now, the Whistler.
Sometimes it's hard to believe what a difference a single day can make in a man's life. Yes, or even less than that, an hour or even a minute. Because fate can move in a split second.
