EASY STARTING <. :, :. i USING GO-ZIP
Gives Quick Start With
 out Dilution Of I T
 Crankease

To motorists who have difficulty starting and who find that the, motor fails to develop its accustomed power these cold mornings, J. Gregory. John ston, president of the General Oil cor poration, maufacturers of Ge-Zip, ad- vises that the crank case be drained and refilled with fresh oil in order to pre- vent injury to the moving parts of the engine caused by dilution of oil in the crank case. .}$ Sx 5r.
 .'When you pull out the. cboker on your car, these winter mornings" says Mir. Johnston, you draw into the com bustion chamber of your engine a great deal of raw gasoline unmi3ed with air which makes it incombustible. Further more you are compelled to ruin with your choker partly open until the heat of your engine warns the gaso- line and yaporizes it.. This raw gaso- line settles on the walls of the cylinr ders and is drawn down into the crank case where it. dilutes the oil and de- stroys it's lubricating properties"
 All motor authorities have come to recognize that proper lubricat tion is the outstanding factor in motor. per. formance as well as motor life. It is vital at this time of the year. if a motorist is to get the right sort of win ter service from his car, that he have hisscrank case drained of the old oil and filled with motor oil of the right, body and lubrica ting properties. In making Speedoil we have taken all these fac tors into account"
 Its just like man changing his winter cothing. Most of us don't wear the same undergarments in the winter time as we do in the summer, and if we do, We wear a heavy overcoat to keen the body at the same temperature"
 Its equally important. that. motor tnel used in winter be of such quality that it is wholly consumed, without residus, so that it is easily ysporized. making 1t necessary to use your choke except for the first few turns of the engine. Go-Zip is such a fuel, scien- tifically blended to vaporize completely. even in the coldest winter weather. Mo torists using Go-Zip will bear me out Tn the statement, that it gives them a quick start on cold morning and maintains the full rated power of their engine with practically no dilution of oil Tn the crank case.''

Freezing weather will soon be with us and anti-freeze will have to be put in your radiator. Most anti-freeze is made up chiefly of alcohol.

 Quite often it happens that the most serious difficulty arises in the connec- tion with putting pure alcohol in ra- diators during the winter season when the car is hot and the alcohol is blown back out over the car. We suggest that this solution. be diluted with water to prevent the foaming of the fluid when poured into the radiator.
 Mir. Hernlon further states that their company have had special tunnels and cans made as we'll as special covers to be placed over the hood while the so- lution is being poured in to exercise great care so that no damage will be done to the finish of the car.

day.
