railroad officials from the Wabash and
the Wheeling and Lake Erie. In the party
was Pre- sident Jeffrey and Vice-Pr sident
Hardey, of the Missouri Pacific, President
Ramsey of tho Wabash, and score of
lesser railroad dignitarils. They came
over from Cleveland and went East in the
evening.
Mr.. Gould talked freely in q general way
of the plans of his company. lie said he
was able to announce that all arrange

be built and one vast system from East to
West running in a year and half.
"One GOO d feature about the road will be
its lack of dangerous or even heavy grades.
None will be 30 ha rd as to prevent the haul
ing Of seventy or seventy-five cars in n
single-head train, and this is seying great
deal" said Mr. Gould.
Continuing, he said he was interested

Waynesburg and Eastern Railroad, which
will connect the great mills OF the Wheeling
district with the coke fields Of Pennsyl-
vania.
Mr.. Goud's assertion that he is back of it
means its success. In that case the Ohio

dominated by the Gould interests, Be-

MAKING MANY FRIENDS.
Cable Co. Has Been In Birmingham But Ten Months Vet Their Business Is Now Branching Out All Over the State.

The Cable company continues to four ish! Although their store in Birmingham has been open but ten months, they are now selling pianos and organs all over the state, and every months business is a large increase over that of the month previous.
 It is well known that the Cable com pany Is at the head of piano manufactur- CTS in the world. The company has paid in capital of $2,O00.00O and Is on an abso- lutely sound financial basis. The capac- ity of their two mammoth factories is 35,000 instruments annually, and yet they are unable to supply the immense de- mand their branch houses make on them.
 It Is a compliment to Birmingham and
 1t is a compliment to Birmingham and vicinity to state the prosperity of the local branch and to state the large number of instruments sold here since the opening of the store at 200S First avenue under the management of J. F. Shelby. It shows the musical tastes of the people of this city and also shows that patrons appreciate the methods of business that have been adopted and pursued by the Cable company
 Their chief claim is that they repre- sent their goods exactly as they are. Their advertisements are so concise and so reliable in what they contain that peo- pie have learned to know that when they see it in the Cable companys ad. it's so
 The company has so many commendable features that it is no wonder it succeeds and prospers. Their reputation for fair ness and liberality toward patrons is well known. They also have the unique distinc- tion of selling directly from the manu- facturer to the consumer and thereby save the customer the middemans profit They maintain uniform. one-price sys- tenn and every instrument in the store Is marked in plain figures so that all GUS toners are treated exactly alike. ss.
