STUFF CLEANS UP
 DUTCH AUTO SHOW
First Prize Goes To Stutz Speed
 way Six

The sales department of the Stutz Motor Car company of Indianapolis, makers of the famous Stutz automo- piles, has been very much interested in reports which have just been received of the usual success of Stutz cars re- gently exhibited in the great Motor Car show at Arnhan, Holland.
 In the Concourse, d'Elegance pub lished by the Koninkiyke Nederlandsche Automobile club on Saturday, June 15, covering the exhibition at Arnhan, the Stutz car was awarded the following prizes:
 First prize on the Stutz speedway six. '.-
 Tourster, which was exhibited there.
 Second prize on the Stutz speed way four Bulldog.
 And the fourth prize as well.
 It is growing less and less common for the American motor car purchaser to think of the foreign built automobile as being superior to the American prod uct, but there are few who realize that in actual competition upon the floor of the Great International Propositions, the American made product not only holds its own but, as was the case in the Holland show, walks away with the bulk of all the honors.

 Fast

A stirring finish is predicted in the Birmingham-Memphis Ford dealer race. The Birmingham standard bearer for the Atlanta branch of Ford Motor com pany is Crawford's Auto shop, while that of the Memphis branch is Hull Dobbs company of Memphis.
 At the present time it is said that the Birmingham team is in the lead by several car lengths and the local lads are matching up all sorts of schemes and enterprises to increase the sale of Ford cars here. The contest ends on August 30 and friends of the Birming- ham entry are being asked to help Crawford beat out the Memphis crowd, , "1f you know of any one who has even an inclination to buy a Ford car,

NASH RESOURCES
 SHOW SOUNDNESS
Nearly $4O,OOO,OOO Stands Back Of Every Car
 Purchased

A financial statement just issued by the Nash factory shows total of $3e,- 536, ,1o3.6o in resources, and of this sum S22,477, ,737.40 is in cash on hand in banks and government securities.
 "In no more forceful way could the soundness of the Nash factory and of the big organization that produces a Nash automobile be brought home to the automobile world or to the general motor-car-buying public than by the rec itation of these few figures" says w. o. Pape, sales manager for the Mo Cormack Brothers company.
 Furthermore, there is no bank i'm debtedness, no bond issue and not dollar owed aside from the current monthly accounts payable to mark against the big credit" continued MT. Pape.
 "An analysis of the report shows that of the ten largest automobile man. ufacturers in America, Nash has the largest percentage of current assets to total assets, ratio of 76 per cent as against an average for the first ten of 40.8 per cent, including Ford.
 Every year sees the increasing inn pOrtdnce or buying motor cars rom soundly established factories, and the Nash financial report is a most em- phatic argument in favor of Nash own ership because it definitely assures the public that they are dealing with one of the largest automobile manufactur- ing concerns in the world, backed with ample capital to produce cars on a big production basis and assures them that this factory will continue, year after year in the future, as it has in the past, to stand back of the cars that hear its mama"

BENzOL FUELS ,. BOOST MILEAGE.
Claims Of Go-Zip Compa- ny We'll Substantiated
 By Research

A Confirming the results of investiga- .tions previously conducted by officials of the General Oil Corporation with Go-Eip, automotive experts of the Ohio State university have announced after a series of careful experiments and laboratory tests with motor fuels of various kinds, that benzol fluids yield more mileage, give a cooler. engine and are just as effective as the anti-knock preparations on the market at this time. q 'sThe experiments made at the Ohio State university corroborate in every detail independent research work con- ducted by the General Oil Corporation in preparing the formula for Go-Zip," says J. Gregory Johnston, president
 The claims which we have put forward for Go-Zip, are supported at every turn by the results obtained in these non- partisan investigations by authorities whose intergrfty and freedom from pre- sJudicel cannot be questioned. Pub hshed reports of the experiments by automotive experts at, Ohio State uni -vSk1Aty udNc SA1S CO say =
 According to the experiments, ben xol gas runs cooler in an engine than gasoline. Excessive heat, they point Outs has a tendency to break down mo- tor oil and retary proper fabrication. After checking up on temperature of the crankcase, oil and radiator, they found that the benzol fluid they used was the coolest of all with which they had experimented.
 The tests also revealed more milage with benzol. Tested with some of the Anti-knock fuels now on the market, the benzol solution showed as great power and anh-knock results as others. In fact, the experimenters say benzol ere ates soft carbon which easily blows out of the exhaust.
 NGo-Zip is benzol fulid. The chief secret of its success has beenqthe exact ness with which the benzolY is com pounded with the highest grade of gaso- line that can be produced. However, officials of the General Oil Corpora tion did not rely exclusively upon re- suits of laboratory tests, before they placed it on the market. It was the first tried in cars of all types, and makes, over a long period to ascertain what it would do under varying road conditions, and what effect it's use would have on different types of mo- tors. When we found we had per fected motor fuel, which would ac- complish the results we sought, we placed it on the market and it's record speaks for itself. Our August sales broke all former records, taxing to ca- pacity the limits of our present plant"

 ''As soon as we saw in March that conditions were not going to develop into the abnormal spring sales that the early months gave evidence of develop ing, we curtailed our manufacturing program and started in immediately to get our dealer and factory organiza- tion in a healthy condition to go for ward when the retarded period was at an end. We are most gratified with the successful way these plans have worked out" his statement continues. se9

The fabrication of the new Cleve- land six mileage motor is known as full pressure system. Oil under prcs- sure of 90 pounds to the square inch is forced under the moving parts at all times. The bearings are fitted with out shims to allow sufficient clearance, so that the continuity of the oil film is not broken.

Reports from the Cleveland, Automo- bile, company, Cleveland, Ohio, indi- cate that production of the new 1925 Cleveland six has increased 50 per cent over the same period last month. .@sAd- ditional men are being added to fac tory's working forces each day." says Sid Black, vice president of the com pany, "to keep pace with the large volume of business being booked"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-08-24

Carbon accumulation with the Clev- land six motor is greatly reduced due to the distinctive design of the motor. The shape of the combustion chamber promotes high turbulence of gases. The complete charge is rushed past the spark plug in state of turbulence, and the gases are completely ignited, thereby leaving no carbon deposits.
