Accurate centering of filaments and careful inspection make Westinghouse U.S. A. Automobile Lamps give exceptionally long and satisfactory service. To enable dealers to become acquainted with these lamps the manufacturers have prepared an assort- ment of 170 lamps.
Lamps in this Display Case will equip all standard makes of cars using 3-Cell Generator Systems, also Ford cars fitted with Magneto Lighting Equipment. Each lamp is wrapped individually; ten lamps to a carton. The entire case packed for overseas trade in a light but very strong container.
This case is being offered at a very unusual price. It is a great opportunity for dealers to start a splendid trade at a very slight initial expense." We
