This city and section has long felt the need of an in- stitution which would accept as collateral for loans, mortgages on real estate at reasonable rates of interest, thereby giv- ing the people an opportunity to own their homes and better their conditions It has been the means of inducing many citizens to learn the habit of saving in fact, 1t is helping to build up this sec tion in a most gratifying way and de- serves the support of every inhabitant. Tn addition to It's banking department. 1t is thoroughly equipped to handle all kinds of insurance. It has a real estate and rental department. which gives to pur- chasers or sellers of real estate and the handling of rents for property owners, the services of competent real estate and insurance men. The officers and directors are men who occupy the highest positions here socially and financially. and the continued prosperity of the bank Is a cer- tainty.

MIR. BRYAN ENTHUSIASTIC

Officials of the Sloss-S Sheffield Steel and Iron company, including President J. C. Maben, President Joseph Bryan of Richmond, and W. H. Goadby of New York, director, returned yesterday from a tour of inspection of the companys s properties in North Alabama. Henry Par sons, a director, accompanied the party from Birmingham last week, but re- mained at Sheffield
 While the officials of the Sloss-Shef field declined to make statement as to whether or not the company would begin the erection of a steel plant at North Bir- mingham in the near future, 1t Is regarded as a significant fact that Horace W. Lash of the Garrett Cromwell Engineer ing company of Cleveland, the well known steel mill constructors, was here in con ference with MT. Maben, MT. Bryan and MT Goadby.
 Mir Bryan and MT. Goadby agreed that the Sloss- Sheffield company was never in so prosperous a condition as now.
 Highly Satisfactory.
 ''The results of our inspection of the companys properties has been satisfac- try in the highest degree" said MT. Bryan. q have been making inspection trips periodically for many years past, but never have I seen our furnace plants, md in, ctI0h satisfactory shape as I find them today. Our brown ore at Russellville seems to grow richer every year. It is the finest brown ore in the Birmingham district.
 ."The output of the companys extensive coal mines already in operation,' con- tinued Mr. Bryan, Twill be largely in- creased by the development of it's new mine. known as the Bessie We have at the Bessie mine eight feet or more of solid coal and great results will follow operations there.
 ''The Sloss- Sheffield company, like every industrial concern in the Birmingham district, has been enjoying marked pros- ptllty, pul dllel looAiHS oNer tHe Silud- ton this week I anticipate even greater things in the coming year.
 Regarding Merger.
 Asked if the Sloss-Sheffeld company would be included in a merger of the furnace properties of Alabama MT. Bryan said that no negotiations along that line were pending. "A very big price would have to be offered" said MT Bryan, "be- fore the men in control of the company would consider a merger proposition"
 MT. Goadby. who was standing near, said: No price, however large, would induce the Sloss- Sheffield people to sell l mean what I say. A controlling in- terest in the Sloss-Sheffield Is not now on the market nor will it be on the market"
 MT. Bryan and Mir. Goadby left for the east last night Mr.. Maben will leave for New York in a day or two for the purpose of attending a special meeting of the board of directors, which will be held next week.
