NEW CLAIMANT OF FOUR WHEEL BRAKE
"Wooo" Charlie Claims He Pioneered The Extra Brake
 Business In Birmingham

Amid all the claims being made by local representatives of automobile manufacturers that their particular cars were first to adopt the four wheel brakes new claimant for the honor of having brought the four wheel brake to Birmingham made his appearance last week.
 In a discussion of the rights of priority of claim to this honor held last Friday at the salesroom of the McCormacll Brothers Motor Car com pany, c. H. Armstrong. manager of the motor oil division of the Wof- ford Oil company, declared that his company was the first to introduce the fourwheel brakes in Birming- ham.
 Really" said MT. Armstrong, i've pioneered in this four wheel brake business While these other fellows were staying up late the night be- fore figuring on how to stop a car with four wheel brakes we were get ting up early in the morning ana whiting merrily down the village streets, applying our four wheel brakes and random and with eclat.
 Tn a recent tour in Georgia with these four wheel brakes in evidence we astonished the natives of all the towns in which We stopped and the Woco four wheel brakes were the talk of the town. Yeah, is you want to see the original four-Wheel DFaKcs in operation some time, drop out 10 the Wofford plant and we'll show you our special four-wheel brake car, which is driven by propeller and has only that propeller and the four-wheel brakes as control"
 But "Woco" Charlie failed to add, however, that the car in question is the woco Aeromobile, which was im- ported by the Wofford Oil company from France, for advertising pur- purposes. It has been in this country well over a year now, antedating by several months the four wheel brakes on other cars now on display.
