"For over thirty-five years, The Electric Auto-Lite Company has specialized its abilities on the production of automotive starting, lighting, and ignition equipment. The engineering know-how and specialized skills that have resulted from that experience will become apparent to you as you use this catalog of automotive wire and cables..."
