REST-O-LITE Super Service storage

Exceptionally powerful and long lasting, they are made of the best materials that can be assembled.

The separators in this battery are made of especially selected and treated cedar... for high porosity; reinforced, with hard rubs ber strips for strength and durability. Other features of construction combine to make it the most powerful and fasting battery that has yet been devised.

Prest-O-Lite Super Service Batteries will give you far greater satisfaction and prove much more economical than any other battery you ever used.
