Birmingham District Prospects.


 The closing days of 1905 find Bir- mingham and the Birmingham district occupying a larger place In the mind of the industrial and manufacturing world than ever before" said Joseph B. Babb. secretary or the Commercial club, this morning.
 Within the past four weeks there have been more visitors to this city seeking investment than in any simi- lar period in the history of the Com mercial club. at least since my con- nection with it. There have been manufacturers here from almost every state. north and east, and all of them have manifested the deepest interest in the city and district, and seemingly are very anxious to get foothold among us.
 "The unwonted interest presages a great deal for Birmingham. and l be- lieve next year is going to see a veri- table stream of new manufactures and new enterprises of all kinds pouring in upon us. Every one who comes here is more than pleased after a trip around the district, and not one re- turns from such trips who is not en- thusiastic over the future outlook for Birmingham. Our great resources and the possibilities we offer to capi- tai seeking any kind of investment seem just to have struck the right place. and the result is everybody Is looking our way. The mail of the Commercial Club Is rapidly increasing, and we are receiving inquiries almost by the dozen each day. These em- brace every line of human activity, but most of them are confined to in dustrials and manufactures. How ever, lately I have received quite a number of letters from homeseekers in the North who ask about farming land around Birmin gham, most of them oe- ing truck farmers, who are impressed with the big opportunity offered them in raising vegetables and fruits for our markets"
