The Birmingham age-herald., 1905-12-17

2 Birmingham people have come to ac- cept rumors of good things, where prop erly founded, in most cases as an as- sured fact, for developments ultimately.
 almost invariably, bring these expecta- tions to a practical conclusion.
 This is brought about by the natural conditions here so favorable and invit- ing to capital in all the various branches of the industrial world that give promise of substantial and lasting satisfactory in vestments.
 Railroads, skyscrapers, steel industries, big foundries and long train of kin dred industries are headed for the Bir- mingham district. the Mecca of the in dustrial world.
 Subdivisions, new town sites, extensive home building, all move in one harmonious whole to the end of rushing forward
 the inevitable Greater Birmingham"
 Even the most optimistic of today find
 their expectations tomorrow outclassed by reality.
 It Is a pleasure to the well wishers of
 Birmingham to note under these favora- ble conditions, that our people have not Host their heads" and that they shun everything as they would a pestilence bor- dering on undue excitement or inflated ideas. wherever said ideas are not based on solid facts.
 AANAAiC and abroad in the stability of Birming- ham dirt and the permanent onward de-
 velopment throughout all the arteries of legitimate trade. An open Warrior and a canal connecting the great waters loom up in the future before an exhaustless natural wealth ready to deliver her treasures to waiting
 world

 Notwithstanding the holiday season,
 bad weather, the excitement of fire crack CTS and tin horns incidental to Christmas, the steady inquiry for real estate con- tinues.
 There is an interesting list of inquiries on our books yet waiting satisfactory in vestments, and we have many interesting propositions impossible to quote in short advertisement. which we invite pur- chasers of real estate to call and inves- tigate
 Santa Claus Is out with his little gun holding up "daddies' and ''mammies," but
 we ask them not to get discouraged, and after satisfying the demands of the "Christmas stocking" to come on up here with the balance and we will show them where to put it. Very truly, B. F. EBORN.
