Manufactures' Exhibit.

President Motion was asked if the naan- ufactuTers Of Birmingham were favora bly Impressed with the idea of establishing a permanent manufacturers exhibit in the new quarters of the club. He replied that in his opinion they would all enter into the plan heartily.
 T think 1t will prove one of the most valuable accomplishments of the Com mercial club of the new year." continued President Molton and 1 believe every manufacturer in the- Birmingham district will assist in the movement An exhibit of this kind will cost only a small amount of money and will be a great advertise nient for the industries of this section of Alabama Every manufacturer, no matter how large or small should be represented in the exhibit, and instead of having to tell visitors what we have here in Birmingham. We can take them to the club rooms and point out every article that is made in Birmingham ard Vicinity Let visitor come to Birmingham to- day and fall into the hands of a citizen who is well informed in all this citv,s industries, he is not capable of describing everything fully. It doesn't impress the visitor as greatly a.s it would if they see what is made here in one large collection. It ought to extend the business of every manufacturer and good results are cer- tain. Suppose a prominent visitor comes to Birmingham, sees the exhibit and takes note of something he sees that is re- quired in his line of business, and when he returns to his home can order it of the manufacturer In arranging the ex- hibts it is desired that every firm or cor poration have on exhibit anything that is manufactured by them. For instance, the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company could furnish a small block of pig iron, small bar of steel, Jumps of coal, giving the grade and from what mine it is taken samples of the lime stone used, and iron ore. There can be no disputing the fact that it is a very important thing and the exhibit can be made very elaborate.
 '''rhe members of the club whom I have talked to on the subject are enthusiastic for the plan and 1t will be given plenty of support"

MOVING DAY FOR
 COMMERCIAL CLUB
Secretary Babb Busy Gathering Things Into Thomas Building
COMFORTABLE NEW HOME
Manufacturers Exhibit May Be Per nanent---Presiden Motion Approves kt--Where Will Vulcan Take
 His Last Stand?

Soseph B. Babb, secretary of the Com mercial club will have force of men at work today removing the furniture from the old quarters at the corner of First avenue and Twentieth street, to the Thomas building on Twenty-first street, which is to be the home of the club.
 The club was notified some time ago to vacste the old quarters on January 1, as the building Is to be torn down. At the last regular meeting the members agreed to let President T. H. Motion and Secretary Babb select new quarters. They rented the second and third floors of the Thomas building where the club will be comfortably situated in the future.
 The office and reading room will be or the second floor and the assembly room will be on the third floor. The club holds an option on the fourth floor, and it is likely that it will be leased also, as it is intended to place the proposed manu- lecturers exhibit there.
 The new home of the club is in new clean building, with good surroundings which will be an improvement over the old location. The building is equipped with an electric elevator, steam heat and cleo tric lights.
 The regular meeting of the club has heretofore been held on the first Friday of each month. At the last meeting it was decided to change 1t to the second Fri day afternoon. Consequently the members meeting will not be held until next Fri day week, but the directors will have their regular monthly meeting next Fri day. On the occasion Of the members meeting 6 smoker will be given, and it is expected that the attendance will be larger than for some time past. At the directors meeting several important mat ters are to be brought up for discus sion, among which will be the manufac- turere' exhibit, and the site for the Vul- can statue.
 Site for Vulcan.
 When seen yesterday and asked what method would be used in selecting a suit able site for the statue President T. H. Motion stated that 1t would be left en- tirely to those who had made donations to any of the Vulcan funds.
 Tt is the desire of the Commercial club to give all the subscribers a chance to vote on their choice as to whether the iron man shall be erected" said Presi- dent Motion, and we hope as many of them as possible will attend the regular meeting of the club. Those who sub scribed to the fund for Vulcan's eonstruc- tion, it's erection at St. Louis, removal to Birmingham and finally paying off it's indebtedness and raising the fund to erect the statue on a pedestal will be given a vote as to where 1t shall be placed, and if they don't attend the meeting and vote on the matter it will be their own look out. l am anxious to have the majority rule in this case Many desirable sites for the statue have been suggested. A great many people are anxious to have It erected at Central park West End park and Fountain Heights After the selection of the site has been made the iron man will be given permanent rest ing place.
