Demonstration Sets New Record For Crank

All previous records for crank case service in two weeks were broken by the Woco Pep dealers of the Birming- ham district in their recent crank case demonstration on Woco Pep oils, ac- cording to announcement made by the company Saturday. The demonstration ended with the close of business Satur- day night having been started two Sat urdays previously.
 The crank case demonstration was one of the periodical affairs staged at the beginning of various seasons by the Wofford Oil company in an attempt to get motorists to get in the habit of changing their crank case oil frequent ly. A free washout with Woco Three c" Crank Case cleanser was offered as an inducement, the motorists paying only for the fresh oil.
 The demonstration was part of the Make It A Million" contest being held this month by the company.

 GREATLY PRAISED
Duplex-Phaeton Declared Distinctly Novel Type
 Here

The cordial reception accorded the new Studebaker cars has surprised the officials of Cruse Crawford, Birming- ham Studebaker dealers. We were positively astonished at the enthusias- tic interest taken in the new cars and the surprised large crowds who in- spected the latest models" said J. Douglas Kirkpatrick, Jr. However, the most gratifying part of the initial showing of the new Studebaker models, was the number of orders received. On Sunday, all day crowds thronged the showrooms examining the many novel features and improvements in the new series aud bright and early Monday the orders began to come in. During the first four days of the week we sold twenty-two new Studebaker cars which we consider fine record. The most talked of model was the Duplex Phae- ton, which is called both an open and closed car. This type, which may be had in all the models, has curtains that roll up into the top and are easily low cred, transforming an open car into closed one in a couple of minutes, mentioned MT. Kirkpatrick.
 The Studebaker line now comprising fourteen models and consists of the Big Six, Special Six and Standard Six, four wheel brakes are optional. These brakes are of new design and unlike any ever used on an American car be- fore. Genuine balloon tires are stand ard.

Another store has been added to the chain of Bills Auto Accessory shops, this time in Columbus, Ga, making the seventh store to be operated by this concern.
 The formal opening of the new unit was held yesterday and reports are that the first days business was ex- tremely gratifying.
 A unique coincidence of the purchase of this new store was that it was bought on the anniversary of "Bilp' Lewis thirtieth birthday. This was re- marked by Bill upon the day he closed the deal acquiring the Columbus store.
 "The Columbus place is fine store and in "a good location. By providing the kind of values we have given the public in Birmingham and our other stores, we feel certain that the Geor- gia store will be great success" said Mir. Levi.
