WE’LL TEST YOUR BATTERY
A test every week is necessary even if you have a
Willard Threaded Rubber Battery.
You want to know that it is fully charged, that it' is
able to provide a quick start and a bright light when
wanted.
Drive around today. You’ll know our place by the red
Willard sign.
You’ll find a full line of Willard Batteries here, and
Willard Service, the kind you’d expect from the builder
of a battery like the Willard. Ask about the Threaded
Rubber Insulation.

20c SIDEWALKS 20c
Why not cut the price on side walks,
cement is cheaper, labor is cheaper,
gravel is cheaper, and we don’t need so
much profit. It has been stated that a 7
to 1 mixture was no good for side walks.
You will find elsewhere in this paper
specifications from Waco, Dallas, and
A. & M. College, and none are as good
as 7 to 1. We have these specifications
20c| W.
as well as some from' the Portland Ce-
ment Association, which we would be
glad to submit to you if in doubt.
There is only a small margin of profit we
admit, at 20c but our equipment enables
us to put down enough with small
amount of labor to take all advantage of
this. We have built more side walks in
the past year than all other contractors
put together. This should speak for our
class of work. Out of more than 6000
lineal feet or work we have had only 4
pieces to crack so far. If you are going
to build a side walk or anything else with
cement see us and we can save you some
money. All our work is subject to exami-
nation by City Engineer or Chairman of
Street Committee, before being paid for.
