GO ZIP DEALER z. !. } MEETING. OPENS.
Convention Called By
 Gregory Johnson This :, Week

The first sales convention of the General Oil Corporation--manufac- turers of Go-Zip motor fuel-will be he'd at the Southern club Monday eve ming, June 16, with all sales officers, service station men and many of the leading stockholders in attendance. The covention has been called by J, Gregory Johnston, president, to review the ac- tivities of the corporation for the past seven months and discuss future sales
 With the success which has attended the first seven months operations, the General Oil Corporation is planning still further extensions in its service to Birmingham motorists. The pres ent convention, which, according to plans, will be the forerunner of many similar affairs, is designed to unify the organization, bring Go-Zip serv- ice men in closer contact with one an- other and develop a consistent policy throughout the organization. An at- tendance of approximately 50 is ex- pected.
 Announcements are anticipated at the meeting with reference to putting on the market a new motor. oil, de- scribed by MT. Johnston as "a new and entirely different anti-chatter. motor oil for Ford cars, which gives perfect fabrication and eliminates noise."
 The new Ford motor oil is said to be entirely different from any oil now on the market. According to Mir. Johnston, who has thoroughly fa- nilarized himself with its perform arlees, the new oil prevents break bands from getting hard and does not allow a crust to form on, them. In the belief that the new oil will fill a real need in Birmingham, officials of the Gen. eral Oil Corporation propose. to push it.
 The Go-Zip sales convention at the Southern club Monday night will take the form of a dinner, with MT. John ston presiding. In addition to the an- nouncement with respect to the new Ford motor oil, several other matters of interest to the automobile trade and automobile owners are expected to be bought out at the meeting.

HJLLBALLOONS. 7 MODEST PRICES Firestone Low Pressure Casing In Reach
 Of All

Again Firestone takes the lead in 6 progressive movement which di- rectly benefits the motorist. Firestone pioneered and developed the balloon tire to its present state of efficiency {; now it is Firestone who puts the true, full sized balloon tire within the reach of the average motorist.
 Until the present time it has been necessary for the purchaser of a set of balloon tires to buy also a set of wheels for his balloon tires, as the true balloon tire requires a special wheel of small diameter. The extra cost of buying the wheels has kept thousands of motorists from equipping their cars with balloon tires. Now, thanks to Firestone, the wheels may be had at no cost to the car owner. With every set of five balloon tires and tubes bought from McCormack. Broth CTS Motor Company a set of four wheels and five rims for balloon tires will be given the purchaser free of charge. This will enable thousands of motorists to get the benefits of true balloon tires instead of equipping their cars with the make-shift balloon type" tires, which are at best a poor compromise.
 The public will not be slow to take advantage of this remarkable offer of the Firestone company and those wishing to take advantage of it are

 For a long time, sportsmen and out of-town pleasure seekers have recog- nized in the Nash the ideal car for cross-country touring and trips to the out-of-the-way places where the going is rough and uncertain. The road clearance, power and absolute reliabil- ity of the Nash give it preference over

great importance to the automobile owner who desires National Motorists utilization with an organization uncon. trolled by commercial groups has been the announcement by the New York meeting of an amendment to the by laws definitely excluding automobile trade associations, motor truck associa. tions from membership. It is believed that when an automobile association, consisting of individual automobile owners permits the use of it's name as a cloak or. camouflage for the propa- ganda of commercial bodies the inter. est of the individual motorists are cer- tain to be sacrificed.
 The Birmingham Motor club an nounces that the tourist camp which has been under way for some time at Edgewood, is now ready and open for the tourists passing through Birming- ham, and is free to those who wish to use it.
 Several tourists are at the present time stopping at this camp and on &C., count of the cool breeze, shade trees, and every convenience are very de- lighted with this new camp, which is located in the grounds at Edgewood Park.

NEW DURANT IS
 MUCH IMPROVED
Has Balloon Tires, Four Wheel Brakes, Disc
 Wheels

Always in the forefront of advanced design in automotive construction W. c. Durant,s new model, which is called the New Durant, is equipped with four wheel brakes and balloon tires as stand ard equipment on the. five-passenger Special Touring, which is priced at $94OO0
 The accompanying illustration shows that the front wheel brake design is quite different from the usual. type. It has been the aim of Durant engineers to simplify brake construction, reduce replacement cost, and increase depend ability.
 The present type of front wheel brake is not a new development of the Engineering department, but one that has been given tests for many months.
 The shoe tpye of brake most com monly used on railroad trains and troll ley cars is adapted to the motor cars use. Two shoes, outer and inner, are mounted on a brake fork at the king pin. This being turned applies a squeez- ing pressure on the brake drum. As only one fourth of the drum is in con- tact with brakes at a given time, the cooling space and interval results in less brake heating and longer life with out replacement.
 In the event of the necessity of re- placement, shoes may be refined in a fraction of, the time formerly required for brake lining, or may be replaced with new shoes and Innings at a very small cost.
 In the brake construction of the new Durant, the standard type of rear wheel brake is retained, operating simultane- ously with the new front wheel brake, or if the operator prefers, the front brakes may be set to follow the rear brakes in action, thus retaining some motion of the front wheels after the rear wheels have stopped.
 The new Durant continues the choice of attractive colors which. .,.has distin- guished the Durant models. The body is handsomely finished and the cars equipment is very complete. r
