MOERLEIN BEER
Is Most Dreamfully Delicious and Re
 freshing

The foam that beads on the brim of this beer of Beermaker Moerlein is the amber covering to amber nectar that is unsur- passed, and unsurpassable. Connoisseofs without hesitation give first place to Moer- lein's, as every bartender in Birmingham will be, ready to admit.
 The Moerlein Brewing Companys local agency which is in charge of MT Thomas w. OByrne, is a Birmingham enterprise. This is owing to the fact that the de- licious product of the Moerlein Company has long been consumed here, and has for years been general favorite among the beer drinkers of this district. Moreover Mr. O'Byrne, the popular manager, is citizen of Birmingham, among the most progressive and public spirited of the citys business men. MT. OByrne is justly proud of the merits of the Moerfein beer, the quality of which, together with his pluck and push, make it in demand at all saloons where it is kept.
 MT O'Byrne's sales during the past twelve months are unprecedented which in itself attests the high merits of the Moer- lein beer.
 Moerieins Extra Pale." "Barbarosa, . and Export Standard" are among MT O'Byrne's leading and wining brands.

Redington the Veteran Artist

Many of the beautiful cuts in this issue are made by the pioneer photographer, Mr. D. c. Redington. Mir Redington has made art his study and through perseverance has reached it's highest attribute. He has cuts from the Washington papers cemplimentaTy of his photograph group O. the House of Representatives in the Forty-third Con eress, a photograph never made before or since. He was the first photographer who ever made the entire force of policemen in Glasgow, Scotland. Mfr. Redington has on file negatives of any manufacturing plant or places of beauty in the parks drives and residence sections of the city, and can make his cabinet photos from $I to $5 per dozen.

to date in general appearance. They enjoy an excellent retail trade; and the wagon trade of Bessemer has very greatly iL- creased the past few years.
 The Isessemer Land & Improvement Co. Is the founder of Besscmer Beginning in 1887, with MT. Henry F. DeBardeleber at its head, this company has labored fs x7ed out of season for the Upbuilding Of the city. The present officers of the company are:
 President and treasurer--L F. Srua<.
 Vice president-W w. Coghill
 Drectors-James Bowron. W. F. G. Harding. Walker Percey, Erskne Ram sey, w. w. Coghill, A. T. Smythe and L.. E. Bruns.
 This company is of course the greatest shareholder of this ma 8uifcent enterprise, , owning as it does about 3,000 lots today, of which number about 130 are central busi- ness lots.
 The company has adopted the wise and liberal policy of marking down the prices of lots to living and reasonable figures, taking as basis of value todays popula- ton and volume of business here and al- lowing an opportunity for the investor to enjoy the enhancement of values which ap- pears so sure to follow the present rapid building up of the city. This company will lend every aid within it's power( which is strong) to all deserving people or enter prise seeking location for homes, business, or investment.
 The Bessemer Land and Improvement Company is really and truly a builder, de- veloper and sustainer It not only maps a city, sells lots, invites and encourages by words the making of investments here but 1t joins hands with others to uphold. if may not be generally known, nevertheless 1t is true, that this company mines Hi6.e coal than any one company in the distriet except that which furnish the blast fuv- naces. Their output at Belle Ellen is forty (40) cars per day of domestic and steam coal and they give constant employment to about four hundred (4O0) miners.
 Reaching Out
 Passing through one of the immense foundries of Bessenler today, and observing the modern improvements therein, and the in1n1ensity Of the castings undergoing com pieton. your correspondent inquired as to
The age-herald., 1900-08-05

where market was found for such prod ucts. The answer was that most of the product before was to fill large special order from Mexico and I learned that the Bessemer foundries and machine shops find ready sale in that country for large percentage of their output.
 And so the whistles blow, the engines move, the stacks belch forth smoke from a thousand fires, all at Bessemer; and the young city, hardly in her teens, marches forward along the road which leads to greatness and to wealth. b.
