Hammond Man Attends National Willard Meet at Sherman Hotel, Chicago.
Mr. R. C. Durham, of Willard Storage Battery Service, Hammond, attended the National Convention of Willard Service men. There were over three hundred at the meeting and every minute of the program was put on with a punch. The fellows soon knew what they were there for: to take away enough line selling dope to last them a year.
Mr. Durham says he certainly got an earful, oh boy. The moving picture they put on the screen showing in detail every step in the manufacture of a battery from the raw product to the finished battery took six months to make and was worth going five hundred miles to see.
