T|OL|NE, NEW OIL
 ON MARKET HERE

Tioline Motor Oil, which is being introduced to the Birmingham mar ket, is winning a place in the sun here and has been accepted as one of the best oils to be introduced in Birmingham since the organization of the oil industry
 Tioline was used successfully by ~the winning racers at the recent Fourth of July. meet in Atlanta. and thio severe test proved the quality of the oil in a striking manner.
 ,. Birmingham distributors for Tio- line Oil is E. F. Allen, and Tioline is to De introduced into this district in big way, according to MT. Allen.
 We are establishing retail dis tribution as fast as we can cover the territory" he said. Already there Is an enormous demand for Tioline in the north and east. where they have had experience with the difference between the Pennsylvania oils and the western oils. Tioline comes from the famous Cabin Creek reg ion and is undoubtedly the purest and the most nearly perfect lubri- cant on tke market. In It's crude state it resembles the refined pro- duct in color and commands a pre- mium of soc a barrel over all other Pennsylvania crudes. It won't take the Birmingham motoring public long to learn the difference between Tioline and the inferior grades"

THREE C' NOT
 ALUbR|CANT
New Woco Crank Case
 Cleanser Not Offered For Motor fabrication

The fact that Woco Three C. crank case cleanser. the new prepara- ton recently marketed by the Wolf ford oil company, has been offered in connection with Woco motor oils, has led some motorists to believe. ac- cording to officials of the wofford company, that woco Three C. Is also a lubricant like the motor oils. This impression Is erroneous and the Wofford company has from the first endeavored to make this clear.
 woco Three C. crank case clean ser, 1t is stated, Is a preparation in- tended for washing out crank cases after all old oil has been drained out. Although it Is declared to have suffi- cient fabrication qualities of It's own to increase efficiency of the new oil that Is poured in, 1t is not motor oil and should not be used as such. It's efficiency lies in the fact that while 1t cleanses the crank case thor oughly, nevertheless. 1t does not cut the fabrication of the fresh oil that is poured In. This is its chief claim of superiority over other agents com monly used for washing out crank casess, as mechanics have found by experience that these other agents hav a tendency to remain in in- accessible places and mix with the fresh oil, impairing its efficiency.
 Woco Three c" crank case clean ser Is sold only at Woco service sta- tions. It Is fully described in booklet, "A Few Suggestions on the Care of Your Motor" copies of which may be had free on request.

WOMEN DEMAND
 VALUE IN GAR

"The discriminating buying faculty of women is being felt in the auto motive industry" declares Whitlock- Macdonald, local Durant dealers in four and six-cylinder models, ''so much that they will reckon promi- nently in the future plans of the au- tomotive trade.
 "The day when . car could be sold to a woman because of It's appearance alone has passed The old impression was that if the body of the car had good lines and pleasant to the eye, she would buy immediately without the slightest regard to the ability of it's chassis.
 "The driving of motor cars by thousands of women during the war and the present universal use of pas senger cars has caused the passing of that idea. Of the 100000 passen- ger cars in the United States, aver age registration shows that two au- tomobiles in every twenty-five are owned or operated by woman.
 "This shows that there are more than 750,000 women who habitually drive their own car, and are familiar with the possibilities of the automo- bile, just as well as men. Her driv- ing experience has taught her to ap- preciate the mechanical excellence, a-.d in selecting car for herself she will seriously consider the parts of the chassis and It's qualities before making a purchase. She Is well aware of how mechanical construc- ton affects comforts in driving, and the service secured.
 Because of this, the Durant tubu- lar backbone has met with the dis eliminating approval of the feminine automobile buyer. This latest achievement of the Durant engineers assures milady of pleasant driving. for 1t removes all the old complaints of road shocks, and reduces creaking and rattling to minimum. Again, 1t preserves the body in good condi- tion. even after long period of use.
 'In selecting such car possessing such a feature, the average woman is upholding her traditional reputation for securing the utmost value for every dollar she spends'
