H. H. KELLY MOTOR CAR CO. Corner Bush & Fifth Santa Ana, CA BATTERY’S “PEP” IS OFTEN WASTED What is more irritating to a motorist than to hear a steady ziz-z-z when he steps on the starter button, without hearing the staccato pop-pop of a starting engine? “There is one thing more annoying,” says West Bros., of the Auto Electric Maintenance Co., Orange-co distributors for Vesta batteries, “and that is to step bn-the button, only to find that the starter will not even turn the motor over.” In a fix like this the frate motorist generally blames the fagged-out battery. It must be recharged But why go soon? Oftentimes this condition is simply the result of the driver’s misuse. It is a common fault to press the starting switch and hold it in place indefinitely, while the starter ziz-z-z and the battery wears itself out. Fancy carrying 200 pounds uphill without a stop. “That,” says Mr. West, “is analogous to making the battery turn over the engine for a long period—a useless waste of electrical energy. “The life of the battery will be greatly prolonged if the motorist will press the button for only a short period, never more than five seconds. If the motor does not start in that time, stop, look and think what has been forgotten. While you think the battery rests. “Short and frequent attempts are much better for a quick start and a slow discharge of the battery. With such proper use a longer service can be rendered by it. For no VELIE LEAPS FROM 13TH TO 6TH PLACE The x-ray Velie is one of the most interesting attractions at the auto show. This special feature was procured by McGraw Brothers, local Velie dealers, for their Velie exhibit only after strenuous effort on their part as it is a brand new idea in the way of an exhibition car. The x-ray Velie lays bare those portions of the construction of the motor car that are not usually seen outside of the factory itself. It is not a cut-out chassis, but is complete. Yet every detail of the finish, the upholstering, the body construction and the painting is laid open before your eyes more completely than you could see it all should you make a personal visit to the factory. "A local Velie owner who saw the x-ray Velie upon its arrival here remarked that he could now for the first time understand why his Velie car had stood up under so much hard work for so many years." The care with which the Velie is constructed insures a long life of satisfactory service." "It is the satisfactory service of the Velie that has enabled it to climb front of the 13th to the 6th place in southern California registrations since January 1. Of the six-cylinder cars in southern California, Velie stood in third place on March 1, according to the official registration list."

"Short and frequent attempts are much better for a quick start and a slow discharge of the battery. With such proper use a much longer service can be rendered by it. For no matter how sturdy and well made your battery may be, a little care and the exercise of a little common sense will add months to its active life." STUDEBAKER LIGHT 6 GOOD AT ANY SPEED "At all driving speeds up to 55 miles an hour the Light Six Studebaker is free from vibration than any car of its approximate size and weight yet produced in Europe of America," says Harry D. Itiley, local Studebaker dealer. "The powerful motor contains noteworthy inventions and improvements by Studebaker engineers, and is most efficient in utilizing the low grades of fuel now on the market. The clutch, transmission, axles, gears, brakes, and operating mechanism generally are co-ordinated in design manufactured by one organization and function harmoniously as a complete, well built, reliable auto. Under the heading of Mechanical Features on subsequent pages, detailed explanations of the mechanism and construction of the car are given for the information of persons interested. A car is only as good as its chassis, and therefore buyers lacking mechanical knowledge should seek reliable advice before buying any car." GOODYEAR TREBLES OUTPUT IN MARCH One of the best indications that the tire business is rapidly coming back in the west is the action of the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., of Calif., Los Angeles, in nearly trebling its output in less than a month. Vice President and General Manager A. F. Ostlerloh's announcement that production has now advanced to 2000 tires daily, making an increase of 1300 tires a day since March 18, when the daily schedule was 700, is the fourth production increase notice of the month. The tube output has been increased to 1550 daily, an advance of 214 pct over the low production point of 450 last December. Increased demand for tires by auto manufacturers and tire dealers is given as the cause for the spurt in Good-year output. A part of the increase is reflected in the demand for tires by the Ford plants at Seattle, San Francisco and Denver. "We March business totalled $1,000,-000,000 declared the Goodyear manager. This was an increase of $200,000 over February's business. Our April business to date is well ahead of that of April of last year when business conditions were considerably better than they are now. "Within the last month we have put with which the Velle is constructed insures a long life of satisfactory service." "It is the satisfactory service of the Velle that has enabled it to climb from the 13th to the 6th place in southern California registrations since January 1. Of the six-cylinder cars in southern California, Velle stood in third place on March 1, according to the official registration list." ANAHEIM ELKS— Johnson ... 181 195 198 574 P.
