, N this page Is given a list of some
 f" members of the Birmingham IL U board of trade. Every one or W them is perfectly reliable and any matter of business can safely be put in their hands.
 Outside of her iron and steel interests Bir- mingham is growing rapidly as a mercan- tile center. It will be noticed that ma jority of the progressive merchants are those who stemmed the tide of financial de- pression which enveloped this city some years ago and have since grown and pros- pered wonderfully. No city of the south can boast of more substantial business men than can Birmingham. It has been years since a leading firm in the city has made an assignment.
 Naturally the greatness of the iron and steel industry in this district has to some extent distracted from Birmingham's repu- tation as a mercantile center. The board of trade was organized to remedy this inn pression and by the active and united ef- forts the members are taking 1t easily, seeing that success awaits them.
