This is another quick stop to appreciate a job-well-done, a wonderful illustration for a largish catalog (12×9 inches) for Exide Electric Storage Battery Company (Philadelphia), which was printed in 1940.

It seems to transfer the reliance of their battery in the dark and cold environment via the working trains, their lights working, safe and secure. It is understated and very effective.
