TWO CARTONS OF BATTERY REVIVOR The contents of these packages were analyzed by a well known institution and were found to consist essentially of epsom salts. As the retail price was $1 .00 per carton and the market price for the best epsom salts borders on $2.00 per hundred pounds, it will readily be seen where the profit comes in Epsom Salts Offered As Storage Reprint of a Better Business Analysis of Two Indicating Their Battery Panaceas SINCE 1887, the storage battery field has experienced periodic epidemics of curative exploitations. It is just now undergoing one of these. Two so-called battery life savers, for which remarkable results are promised, are Sta-Charge and Enrich Battery Saver, marketed respectively by the Kel-Bur Products Company, Salem, Massachusetts, and the MidWest Sales Corporation, Cincinnati, Ohio. It is claimed that the introduction of these compounds into a lead plate storage battery will correct the majority of ills and troubles to which they may be heir. It is even claimed for one that its use will allow a discharged battery to be fully recharged in from ten to twenty minutes; for the other, that it will keep an automobile battencharged for two years, and for both, that they will double the life of the battery. In various newspapers, classified advertising like the following has appeared: Man to Introduce New, patented process that recharges batteries in 10 minutes, $20-$30 daily. Exclusive territory. I. N. Kelbur, Inc., 21 E. 14th St., New York City. Those responding to such advertisements have received circular letters over the signature of Jack Pansy, Sales Manager of the Kel-Bur Products Company. According to the letterhead, Mr. Pansy's offices are at 21 East 14th Street, New York City. The Company, of which H. E. Burkhart is President, P. J. Kelleher, Secretary and Treasurer, and L. E. Burkhart, General Manager, has its "laboratory and factory" at Salem, Massachusetts, with additional offices at Sanford, Maine, and at 1625 Sydenham Streel, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. We quote portions of Mr. Pansy's letter: I am glad you are interested in a process that recharges batteries in 10 minutes. It spells "OPPORTUNITY." Salesmen selling STACIIAKGI are making .is high .is S40 .1 da> . . . Sta-Charge is put up in 3-ounce cartons retailing at $1.00. We pack 18 cartons to the case. Price to dealers, $1 1.00 per case, prepaid. . . . If you say the word, I will ship a case to YOU, charges prepaid, C. O. D. $7.00 (or for $6.50 cash with order). Attractive Window Cards, Sales Helps, Pamphlets, Order Blanks, etc. accompany each case. . . . Upon request we will ship a sample carton to you for $1.00, CASH WITH ORDER. From another of Mr. Pansy's form letters we glean these statements: Our Salesmen and Managers in many States are "cleaning up" BIG with STA-CHARGE COMPOUND. It is easy to sell a carton to nearly every Battery Owner — and a case or more to live Dealers. But — you and I are both losing money, because YOUR territory is not being worked. . . . Once a person puts STA-CHARGE in his Radio Battery, he notices almost IMMEDIATELY how much more CLEARLY he hears the voices; he notices that when the Battery DOES run down it can be charged up fully on the "line" in a fraction of the time required when the old solution ALONE was used. . . Same way with an Auto Battery Owner — when he sees his lights burning brighter, his Battery "FOOL-PROOF"; the resistance to current so REDUCED (by the STA-CHARGE chemical that his generator alone keeps the Battery always fully charged — naturally he talks about it. An interested reader of this advertising purchased a case of Sta-Charge. With it he received the window card reproduced on page 198 and a quantity of sales literature. The following claims are conspicuous in this copy: Keeps your Battery ALWAYS fully charged. Preserves and lengthens the life of vour Battery. REMOVES and PREVENTS Sulphation Will recharge any make of Battery. Prevents corrosion and shedding of plates. Prevents plates warping, cracking, and "buckling." Preserves plates and insulators. Prevents muddy and soft Positives. Gives better lights, better ignition, better starting. ■fa Examined and approved by Radio Broadcast fa
