MODERATE PRICES
 FOR CHOICE LOTS.

It is noteworthy fact that the Realty Company Is putting its lots on the mar ket at low figures instead of exhorbitant prices. Any of its vacant property on Sixteenth avenue, or on Highland avenue, or on the North Highlands can be bought for 60 per cent less than prices paid for fashionable sites in other Southern cities. Twenty-Five hundred dollars will go as far here as five thousand n Montgomery, Mobile. Nashville. Augusta CT Savannah. and as far as seven CT eight thousand dol lars in Atlanta. Some people are cronic kickers over what they have to pay. but if any one grumbles about the price of residence real estate here you can easily shut that person up by quoting prices in the cities named.
 Before the summer is ended the Realty Company will begin to open Eleventh and Thirteenth avenues. North. It will take year or more to do the work, and by the time it is finished and home sites are offered for sale, there will not be lot for sale in Twelfth avenue, or in any of the cross-streets between Eleventh and Thirteenth avenues

STEINER BROS,'
 B|G BANKING HOUSE $3,000,000 Annual Business in Bonds and Mortgages THE NEW ORGANIZATION On Account Of Increase in Business Branch Houses Will Be Estab-
 lished in New York City
 and Europe.
THE NEW ORGANIZATION

It was sometime in the year 1886 that Messrs B. and Sigfried Steiner came to Birmingham from the Black Bolt of Ala bama, where for a number of years they had been prospering in the merchantile business. Like many other wise men they came to this city, where they had al- ready made investments. and cast their lot here with a hopeful and progressive people and in a community richly sur rounded by all the natural resources nec- essary to the accomplishment of an end proposed--the building of great city in Jones Valley.
 In 1888 they established the banking house of Steiner Bros, occupying at first a store room in cheap building in First avenue, near where the Berney Bank Building now stands. The business of the firm was prosperous from the begin ming. While enjoying liberal home pat ronage they reached abroad for business from the start and attracted capital from the East and from across the sea to Br- mingham and to the mineral district of Alabama, thus adding greatly to cash business operations here.
 The rapid growth of the business of the firm soon made necessary the erection of a magnificent modern bank building, and the firm purchased the valuable lot on the Southeast corner of First avenue and Twepty-first street, where they erected that beautiful and convenient structure

has been established. which is to be un- der tho direct management and control of MT sigfred Steiner. who will give all attention to the great financial markets of the East, and form close alliances for the mutual benefit of the Eastern and Southern branches of the Banking House of Steiner Bros.
 On the 7th of September Mr. B Steiner will sail for Europe and will establish offices and connections at London. Paris and Frankfort. making one chief foreign office in one of those cities. which will probably be directly under his personal management for several years to coma,
 The Banking House of Steiner Bros al- ready has unlimited means at its oom- mand, an individual responsibility exceed ing q. 900 0oog and most valuable connec- tions at homsan abrpad. The work it is doing even at the phesent time is of im- mense propostions -aggresating the pur- chase and handling of s2oooooo of bonds

as Highland avenue. As for salubrity, it goes without saying that this section is as invigorating and as free from ma laria as Lookout Mountain or the Ale ghanies.
 Speaking of scenery, if the North High lands lacks the contours of rugged noun tain scenery, it is yet wondrously pictur- esque enough for all aesthetic purposes. and in it's tranquil beauty at sunset Is unsurpassed. Yes, this Month Highland range is to be notably fashionable and in less than two years $10,00o and $12,oO0 houses win be seen in the Realty Com pany's section by the score. Prices of lots are moderate now and now Is the time to buy. for with the active demand that must come the price list will be advanced. of course.

 Mir. Halls of New York worked out the plan for reorganizing the old Elyton Com pany and financed the new company. He Is one of the ablest and most conserva- tive business men in the country He outlined the general policy of the compa- ny and gave it vitality, and it Is said that the strong status of the Realty is due especially to his pluck, faith and sagaoity.
 Mir. Fulenwider, the President, came to Birmingham to live several years ago, and since taking up his residence here has been recognized as a public spirited, pro- gressive citizen. He is going to make a brilliant success of the Realty Company, and without any blowing either. Besides being a broad minded and energetic bus mess man he is popular personally.
 The other officers and directors assoct- ated with MT. F>ulenwider are all well known men of affairs and enjoy a high reputation for integrity and business sense.

known as the Steiner Building, which is one of the chief monuments of the city.
 By special act of the General Assembly of 1898 a charter was issued the firm of Steiner Bros. granting most valuable and extraordinary franchises and under this authority they have been enabled to meet every demand made upon them as bankers and general fiscal agents and promoters.
 In the early part of this year dSs1), so greatly had the business of the firm in- creased, that it sought new fields, not with purpose. however, to cease busi- ness in Birmingham. but to keep in close touch with the great money centers, and thus add strength and greater working facilities to the bank at home; so re- organization was affected and the fol- lowing officers of the corporation were elected:
 Leo. K. Steiner. President; B. Steiner and S. Steiner Vice Presidents; Carl Steiner, Cashier. and w. Q. Hambleton. Assistant Cashier. This is now the man agement of the Birmingham business Of the firm.

property is put on the market As an in- stance, no one was asked to buy lot on Sixteenth avenue until the road bed was curbed and gutters were laid on both sides of the street Everything was f1n- ished when M Well. the first purchaser, bought his lot on one of the lovely slopes of this avenue.
 ! The policy of the board of directors is to have only the best quality of work. Only honest. solid work IS accepted No shod- dy jobs therefore will be found anywhere fin connection with the company's proper sy. The company has ample money to spend and it is being spent wisely. It is oentainly the best sort of economy to con- trart for high-class work, no matter what it costs.
 Birmingham is noted for it's attractive homes. When Paderewskd, the pianist and composer, was here winter before last he drove over tho South Highlands and marveled at the beauty of that section. There was a man who had lived in the Alps and had viewed every grand pros pect fin Europe and America, but hs was

STEADY PROGRESS
 ON HIGHLAND AVENUE.

Reverting to Highland avenue, the heavy work of excavating and grading and constructing sewers is progressing satisfactorily. It will probably be com pleted by the middle of autumn. The san, itary sewer is two miles in length and the storm sewer three quarters of mile. This sewer construction is exceedingly costly but it is necessary and the Realty Company does not begrudge a dollar that it is expending. Highland avenue is 100 feet wide and is divided as follows: An esplanade thirty feet wide for the trolly line, double track; a driveway of twenty feet on each side of the esplanade. and sidewalks and gutters beyond the drive ways take fifteen feet on each side.
 With the esplanade we'll turfed and shaded with ornamental trees Highland avenue will be a greater boast than ever of beautiful Birmingham.
 The Realty Company owns enormous stretches of vacant real estate on both the North and South sides of the city and it is matter for public rejoicing that it part of the company was the purchase of has the capital and brains to develop 1t properly.

and mortgages per annum. Besides this 1t does a regular banking business in all its branches; receives time and demand deposits and makes specially of for eign exchanges and letters of credit. It also represents nearly all of the German and the American steamship lines.
 Quite recently the firm has added the real estate business to it's regular line. However. it does not buy and sell on com missions. as brokers. but outright on its own account.
 While the people of Birmingham rejoice at the success of Messrs Steiner Bros, there is a general expression of regret that they are to lose Messrs B. and S. Steiner as citizens. for Birmingham has been blessed in thousand ways by the business acumen, the public spirit. the llberalfty and the broad charity of these two men, Since they moved to this city and made their abode here they have been among the prominent men in every

Beautiful Avenues Com p1eted on Both of the
 Highlands
Twelfth Avenue on North High lands to Be as Fashionable as
 Famous Highland Avenue.

The Birmingham Realty Company, sue cessor of the famous old Eiyton Compa- ny, is doing a vast and enduring work for this city. but 1t is doing it so quietly that not 10 per cent. of the people hereabouts 1t is safe to say, have any idea of its great achievements or its great plans and poll cies. Everyone appreciates the fact that Birmingham is improving steadily in ap- pearance that 1t has better streets and sidewalks in It's residence sections today than 1t had three years ago; but the pub iic is not aware. generally speaking, that the opening of Sixteenth avenue, running from Twentieth street westward three blocks, on the side of Red Mountain, was the work of the Realty Company; that the work of widening. macadamizing, paw ing and guttering Highland avenue from Buena Vista Station, on, the South High lands. round by Lakeview to Thirty-sec- ond street, at the foot of the hili-a dis tauce of nearly two miles-ls an enter prise of the Realty Company; that Twelfth avenue, on the North Highlands, from Twenty-fifth street to Thirty-fourth street, nearly one mile, was opened by the Realty Company. And the company has not only been pushing these improve ments for a year past, but it's plans in clude large developments that will employ a great force of laborers for years to come.
 Thus 1t is the Realty Company Is prov ing itself grand benefaotor to the com munity, for whilst It's own property in the sections improved Is directly enhanced in is indirectly, but materially benefited. and the city at large gets credit for what Is being done.

would be regarded as public calamity hence the great responsibility which rests upon those who are in direct charge of this plant. It requires mon of brains. energy and watchful care to guide ana direct such an enterprise: and that such men are in charge of the Birmingham plant is evidenced by the fact that so few accidents occur to mar the perfect utility and harmony of this system- Duplicate machinery Is ever held in re- serve for any emergency that may arise.
 The present officers of the company are Robert Jemison. president; F. D. Ma. DOTS, vfce-president; J M. Bradley, su- perintendent, and F. H. Armstrong. secretary-treasurer.

The trouble with many development companies is they do shoddy work. They only half way, or only one-fourth way develop. They open streets, but do not macadamize them. If they construct sew CTS the work is done cheaply and badly. They do as little as possible, their chief purpose being to induce purchasers to pay high prices for lots.
 With the Realty Company just the re- verse is true. It's street and sewer work is carried to completion before its vacant
