umne of it-large as that is-as they do to the evenness-;the steadiness of 1t. The furnaces are in continuous opera ton, and they make grist for the rail- roads day in and day out. The granger roads have to walt for the crops to ripen for their freight harvest, and the tonnage of the great jobbing centers fluctuates in volume as trade varies with the sea- sons. But in the Birmingham district the tonnage is a dependable quantity-it may be greater at times than at others-but the railroads have the certainty of daily quota, no matter what the season of the year And railway employees in the Bir- mingham district for the same reason, will show a larger average of time" than those in other sections of the coun- try.
 BUSINESS TIDE NEVER STOPS.
 The same is true as to business. There are really no dull months In the mer- cantile calendar of this city, though, of course there are months when the vol tune of business slackens. The tide runs ali the time. It never stands still here as 1t does in the cotton centers in midsum- mer. REALTY ventures the assertion that summer trade in Birmingham is greater proportionately than it Is in New Orleans, not to mention Galveston or Houston

purpose which REALTY has in view, and that is the emphasizing of the fortunate conditions which surround wage-earners in Birmingham and the Birmingham dis trict. With the thinking worker, certainty of continuous employment outweighs high wages. Here in Birmingham wages aver age higher than they do in any other southern city. and. as we have shown employment is steady. There Is work for every willing hand in Birmingham and for all who may come--whether day la borers or skilled artisans.
 GOOD ADVICE REPEATED.
 In the middle of last winter REALTY advised such of it's readers as intended to buy lots and build homes to do so be- fore the spring rush set in. Not few acted upon the advice, which they found to be thoroughly profitable. The sugges ton Is more pertinent now than 1t wal then. Building operations next year will be more than double those of the present year. We know that to be certainty Home builders should, therefore. lose nc time in buying lots and making arrange ments to build. If they walt until spring they may not be able to make contracts And there Is very strong probability that prices of residence property will bt considerably higher by that time. ACT NOW.
