The Birmingham Trust & Saving Com pany's elegant white marble bank build ing on Twentieth street is receiving us finishing touches and the public will be invited to inspect 1t next week. Thous- ands of invitation cards have been sent out for "opening week, January to Il, 1902" The company is beginning now to remove from its old qaurters at the cor ner of First avenue and Nineteenth street to its new home.
 It is safe to say that no structure in the business section of the city has at- tracted so much attention or has been so much admired by the public as this bank building. It is not simply a massive pile, but it combines solidity, beau- ty and general fitness for business pur poses. There is perhaps no banking house in the south that can be compared with it. It would attract attention even in New York or Boston.
 Like all fine specimens of architecture this imposing edihce could not be finish ed in a hurry. The Birmingham Trust & Saving Company had expected to occupy it on the first of last October. The usual delays occurred, however, Lut the work is nearly completed now and the officers anu cieThS OI lHe Ddnk ana the IrlenuS of the institution will have the satisfac- tion of finding every thing perfectly ap- pointed for comfort and convenience.
 A Progressive Institution.
 The history of the Birmingham Trust as it is familiarly called, has an import ant place in the history of the develop ment of Jefferson county. The institu- tion was founded about 15 years ago by some of the leading citizens of the coun- ty, men of high integrity and business sagacity. Dr. Henry M Caldwell, man of broad views and excellent judgment, was its first president. He had strong faith in the future of Birmingham and he felt certain that a trust and saving com pany was needed.
 In about two years after the company was started the late Paul H. Earle ac- cepted the presidency, and being in position to give it his undivided atten- tion broadened it's foundations and laid wise plans for the time to come MT. Earle died lamented in November 1900. In less than 12 years he had brought the deposits of the bank from $500, 900 to s1,- 800, 000
 It will never be forgotten in business circles that in the panic of 1893 the Br- mingham Trust and Savings Company was one of the few banks in the United States that paid out cash over its counter from first to last. No depositor who want ed his money was ever asked to take a clearing house certificate or anything but money. That was MT. Earle's way of car rying on a great financial institution
 Officers and Directors.
 The vacancy in the presidency caused by the demise of MT. Earle was filled Janu- ary 1, 1901, by the election of MT. Arthur w. Smith. The new president had served as vice president under MT. Earle and he came to the higher office, therefore, well equipped for handling large prob- lems He was perfectly familiar with the progressive policy of the company and

in thorough accord with it. The growth of the banks business in the twelve months since he was put at the head speaks for itself.
 A notable acquisition to the institution a year ago was the election of MT Tom O. Smith as cashier. This popular bank man had been cashier of the First Na- tional for a number of years, ana no one in this section today has a larger range of experience in the banking line.
 MT. w. H. Manly, who has been in the service of the company since his boyhood, is it's secretary and assistant cashier.
 The present board of directors Is made up as follows.
 Arthur w. Smith, president; James Bowron, vice president Dimmick Pipe Company; J. M. Caldwell secretary and treasurer Caldwell Real Estate and lm- provement Company; s. l.. Earle or Earle, Terrell & Co.,, W. H. Kettig, pres ident Milner Kettig Co; Alex T. London, attorney; w. T. Northington, president Continental Gin Company; James Spence. director Birmingham Machine and Foun- dry Company. R. A. Terrell of Earle, Ter rell & Co.,; James T. Woodward, president Hanover National Bank, New York.
 If Birmingham were picked over for men of business training and force of character, it would be difficult to assem- ble a stronger group than is found in this board.
 Impressive Figures. In round figures the Birmingham Trust and Savings Company has line of de- posits of S2000,000. Its statement Decem- Der 10 last gave the deposits at $2, ,022, 365 43. This showed an increase of nearly half million dollars as compared with the figures in the statement of September 30, last
 It has a line of loans of over $1 300, 900, and available cash of over $1,000000.
 The company is trust institution in fact as well as. in title. It acts as execu- tor, guardian, trustee or agent and does a large and successful business in these lines. This trust department has proven itself to be a decided popular feature. It was in favor at the start and 1t is receiv- ing closer attention now than ever.
 Estates and Trust Fund.
 Persons who have any knowledge of fiduciary business and the settlement of estates appreciate fully the advantage Of a strong and wisely managed trust com pany over an individual as trustee or guardian. It may be a trite saying, but 1t is nevertheless applicable individuals die, but the trust company lives on. h. dividuals sometimes lack integrity and IT the integrity be there they olten itch business judgment. It often happens that estates handled by individuals are wreck ed and trust funds lost by unwise invest ments. It stands to reason that the com bined judgment of a board of directors such as that of the Trust and Savings Company is far better than the judgment of individuals.
 While the Birmingham Trust and Saw ings Company's business is always con- ducted in a wise, careful and business like manner the institution has dis tinctive local and public spirited side. This has been shown many times. Where it can be done with safety the manage ment of the institution always gives local securities preference. thus keeping it's capital and trust funds at home
 The value to the community of finan- cial concern like the Birmingham Trust can not be over stated.
