A Greater Gardner: 1921
The "New and Greater Gardner" numbered, among its 30 Quality Features for 1922, "curled hair filled cushions, aluminum moulding on body, windshield wiper, Willard threaded rubber battery, door-opening curtains, and clear-vision top covered with Chase Dreadnaught double-texture material."

You can see Alcatraz Island and Prison in the left background.

Apparently, lead acid batteries in that day used wood as separators between the lead plates and Willard improved on that by using 'threaded rubber' separators.
