Smith As you are aware, in my recent trans-Atlantic flight in the “Southern Cross" it was wireless which kept us in touch with the world, and that Wireless was equipped with Exide Batteries, Throughout the 32 hours flight the “ Southern Cross" relied on Exide Batteries for the operation of its radio, and when we were lost in the fog—--200 miles from Newfoundland —Exide Batteries enabled us to pick up wireless signals which guided us safely to a landing at Harbour Grace. It is therefore my pleasure to add my appreciation of Exide Batteries to that of Commander Byrd, Commander Shackelton and many other famous pioneers who have relied upon these world famous batteries for essential duties. 4 th Oct., 1930 Kingsford Smith uses Exide Batteries for every purpose that storage batteries arc required. His life, and the lives of a host of coutcmpory airmen depend largely on the dependability of Exide Batteries. Exide is the long life battery that will cut your costs and belter your service. imiTISTT MADE Exide Service Station, Geo. Higgins, 29 llarily-st., Nelson 6 N.Z. Distributors: HOPE GIBBONS LTD.
