Tony Tola's name appears in the 340 cipher with a crosshair right in between the first and last name. If Tony was Zodiac then this would be a pretty dumb move. A couple of other people have pointed out that maybe Tola knew Zodiac and Zodiac got a kick out of putting his name in the cipher so that the cops would investigate him. I dont think Tola makes an interesting POI but not much is known about him either.
Maybe there is a clue saying "to NY" "to LA"??

I was only able to find one acquaintance of Tola, a Virgil Kester Jr., who had a partnership with Tola in K&T Trucking. The partnership dissolved. Did they part on bad terms I wonder. Kester later partnered with a well known man from San Francisco who is a REAL ESTATE ATTORNEY. Possible tie to that personal ad.
