GLASS AND STEEL MEN.
Two Pennsylvania Manufacturers Desire h. formation of Birmingham Regarding
 Those Two Items.

Mayor VanHoose yesterday received two letters from Pennsylvania gentle men who are watching Birmingham with a great deal of interest just now. They have noted the press dispatches sent out from here telling of the indus trial revival, and they write to know if all reports are true.
 One of the gentlemen is manager of a large steel mill near Pittsburg, and he makes particular inquiries with reference to the iron of this district, coal and other material necessary in the manufacture of steel. His letter indicates a desire on the part of the writer to invest in a steel mill here.
 The other letter was from a PennSyl- vania glass manufactures. He desires information as to the possibility of mak- ing glass here.
 The mayor replied to his letter stating that a few years ago a glass plant was erected and operated here, though, as to its success he could give no informa- tion, as he had no personal knowledge of it.
 Letters similar to these are received almost every day by Birmingham people, which is evidence of a growing interest in Birmingham.
