That this is an opportune time to save money on a used car Is the opinion of many who are familiar with the automobile market. They point out that numbers of new cars were bought as Christmas presents and that in a number of instances used cars were traded in as part pay ment on the newer models. This has brought into the Birmingham mar ket scores of cars that yesterday were giving their owners splendid service, but today are waiting Ion the shelf" of some local dealer for new owner.
 Tine dealers are taking much more interest in their used ear departments than formerly, and are especially careful to see that they do not put on the market used cars that are ready for the junk heap" Most of them now have their own repair shops and expert workmen, who honestly and thoroughly recondition every used car that they take in. To buy a car from such firm is to give yourself the same honest satisfaction and guarantee of service that you would get with new car The greatest problem today for the deal CT is to educate the buying public to the superiority of the present day reconditioned used car to that of even two or three years ago.

GO-z|P SHOWS BIC SALES INCREASES
Storage Facilities For Gen. eraI Oil Products Are
 QuadrupIed

Storage facilities of the General Oil corporation, producers of the new motor fuel "Go-Zip" and the new motor oil "Speedol," have been quadrupled since the company be- gan operations in Birmingham about November i, according to George Blinn, IT,, vice president. Enlarge ments have been made in the plant purchased from the Indian Refining company due to the rapid increase in sales, and within the next six months the company expects to have & fleet of 20 or more motor trucks in steady operation.
 We are receiving many compli- ments on our new motor fuel, "Go- zit,' said MT. Blinn Saturday. q am being told continually by users of the new fuel that their cars start so easily on cold mornings and de- velop so much more power than heretofore, that we ought to intro- duce "Go-ztp' to every motorist in Birmingham. One man told me the to put his old car in the shop to be overhauled and just happened to drop In one of our service stations where he filled up with "Go-Zip." The improvement was so immediate and marked that the owner of the car decided he could do without the shop for some time he said.'
 New service stations are being added rapidly. The latest addition is the modern drive-in service sta ton at the corner of Avenue F and Eighteenth street, which will be opened to the public in short time.
