property in this state, and the mortgages are non-negotiable.
 The paid up stock of the association has three desirable features that few in vestments can offer. First. cash loan value of 90 cents on the dollar; second, a cash withdrawal value with a fair rate of interest; third, a matured value with all accumulated profits.
 This stock pays per cent. in cash divi- dends, payable semi-annually, and shares besides in the surplus accumulation. The withdrawal value of the paid-up stock and it's absolute security makes it es- pecially desirable to conservative invest ors.
 The best points and improved methods have been adopted, so that the entire sys- tenn of ''The Alabama Home" is a pro- gressive one and investment seekers will do we'll to patronize an organization of this kind This is essentially a home in stitution.

to cities, towns, villages and making many useful record before they drop at last into the limbo of the has beens," or are returned to the shops, time-worn and disfgured, to be melted and re- moulded into new wheels.
 When we say that N. s. Bouton, of Chicago, is president; w. F. Newbert, of Birmingham, president and general manager; H. G. Robinson, of Birming ham, treasurer; and J. H. Robinson, of Birmingham, secretary of this extensive enterprise, it's signal success will be in- stantly understood by all who are ac- quainted with these gentlemen. Success is never question of luck. It is, on the contrary, a question of level brains, un- tiring energy, force of character and special faculty for mastering the minu tia of the task in hand, and all these attributes are possessed by the gentle men of whom we speak.
 Skill, supplemented by will-power, and a set determination to overcome every obstacle, have characterized the controll- ing spirits of the Decatur Car Wheel and Manufacturing company from the first. and they have their reward in the knowledge that their enterprise not only has the confidence of the public, but has it's patronage to an extent that is not surpassed by any of it's contemporaries.

like a scene wherein "confusion is worse confounded," the minutest details are looked after with such unerring sa
 gacity that it is really the very poetry of motion" he beholds, as the marvellous results most triumphantly demonstrate. In this building are located two large cupolos, each having a capacity of over 400 wheels per day. The rapidity with which car wheels are produced in this immense building is simply marvellous. All the flasks, ladies, and wheels are handled by compressed air hoists and transmitted to every part of the foundry. Here also, we find seventy large anneal- ing pits, where the wheels are cooled after being cast. The two-story machine and pattern shop, 40X50 feet; the boiler, engine and core room, 40XS1 feet, and the charging room, 42X90 feet, are all con- nected with the great foundry building, as are also several smaller buildings. One might write week on the many ob- jects of use and interest in the works of the Decatur Car Wheel and Manufac- turing company, and still be unable to reach the end of so extensive a subject. The company manufactures exclusively car wheels for all kinds of service, in cluding those used for mining cars and street cars. Out of this establishment, fresh from the hands of employees, roll

 There is no district in the United States for which nature has done more than for Alabama, the region for which Bir- mingham is today and forever will be, the undisputed metropolis.
 It is principally celebrated for its natural advantages, and has become the metropolis of Alabama because it is the manufacturing center of the south-a great and growing center at that.
 One of the leading institutions of the Magic City is the Decatur Car Wheel and Manufacturing company, which was organized in October, 1887, at Deca- tur, Ala, where the company built and equipped an extensive plant. Recogniz- ing the fact that with the great iron furnaces at their very door, the cheap ness of steam coal and coke, the better facilities for shipment and that they would be able to meet all competition more successfully, the company in May, 1896, removed their entire plant to this city, thereby adding another plume to Birminghams cap. Their extensive works cover something over eight acres of ground, from Sixth to Seventh street

 Fourteen Thomson Houston are used on the street and commercial circuits; six Edison generators supply three wire circuits for incandescent and power ser vice; while four 80 k. W. and two 300 k. W. generators supply the current for the street cars. The boiler house is 145x3S feet, and contains twenty horizontal re- turn tubular boilers, each independent of the others. We might go into detail and describe more fully the machinery and workings of this mammoth concern, but that would require more space than we have at command.

Among the sound, substantial and viz orous institutions conducted under this system there are few it is safe to assert, that offers such unrivaled advantages and absolute security as the Alabama Home Building and Loan association, This assoca tion, which is the prlde of Birmingham and the state Of Alabama, was organized in April, 1891, granted a special legislative charter February, 1S93 has paid in cap ital of over $400, 900 and has accumulated a large surplus, and never had a loss through it's entire history, as its loans are made exclusively on non-negotiable first mor, gages on improved city real estate of unquestioned value, and only in the state of Alabama.

 This train of thought was suggested by a visit to the power station of the Consolidated Electric Light company, a concern which stands without a rival in the south. This establishment is locat- ed right in the very heart of the city, and is of vast importance, inasmuch as It furnishes the electric current for the lighting of our streets, many business places and residences: power for the smaller manufacturing plants through out Birmingham, and the current that operates our electric street railways. The plant which is 149x159 feet, is not only the largest, but by far the best equipped, neatest, completest and most up-to-date of any in the great south. The immense iron stack 150 feet in height and eight feet and two inches in diame- ter is a prominent landmark that may be seen all over the city. The equip ment consists of four engines of a com

 President, George L. Morris; vice-pres- ident and general manager, Robert Jem- ison; secretary and treasurer, Robert Il. Smith; superintendent, J. M. Bradley.
 These gentlemen stand in the forefront of our business men, and their ability, energy and progressiveness in their re- spective lines are well known in the busi- ness world. In whatever they engage they enlist the public confidence by their high and honorable methods.
 The writer has visited many power stations and electrical establishments in his time, but has seen none more con- veniently arranged, more perfectly equipped or more ably administered than that of the Consolidated Electric Light company.

Electric company, and is situated at the terminus of the East Lake electric car line, which road is operated by current furnished by the Consolidated Electric Light company. A large settle ment has sprung into existence at East Lake, and this delightful suburb of Bir- mingham is distinguished as being the home of Howard college, and the East Lake Atheneum. It is just such su burban localities as this that have lent grace and glory and landscape to Bir- mingham that it never knew until these later years. The natural scenery about the lake is the same that it was when the morning stars sang together and all the world was young, and an excursion there on the electric railway is one that will haunt the memory long after like a de- liciOuS dream.

 Electricity has forever been the life and moving force of the universe, but it is only within these later years that it has been harnessed by man, and made to do work in the development of science, . of industry and of progress on many lines.
 Of all the inestimable blessings be- slowed upon mankind through the agen- cy of science, there is perhaps no discov- cry or invention of modern times, which has done more for the worlds progress, or rendered more efficient service to the

ALABAMA HOME BUILDING AND LOAN ASSOCIATION.

One of the most gratifying, as it is also one of the most remarkable features of the times we live in, is the success which has attended the establishment of build ing and loan associations in the United States, and the popularity these institu- tions have gained with all classes. The building and loan associa ton business has had a more steady and substantial growth than any other branch of the
