duct. is being successfully accomplished
and will be more abundantly so.
A Favored Point.
The one question Is: What particular
point in this Jones valley is the most
inviting field for the large or small inves-
tor. Take centrality of location North
Birmingham leads.
Take present prices of lots. North Bir-
mingham offers lowest figures.
Take railroad facilities. North Birming-
ham has tracts OF every road entering the
district
Take close proximity to markets. North
Birmingham rivals all.
Take health conditions. North Birming-
ham offers superior inducements.
Take demonstrations of strength by ac-
complishments already attained, North
Birmingham presents the real facts and
figures.
Take water. North Birmingham is more
abundantly supplied than any other sec
ton of the district.
North Birmingham is not an expert
ment. 1t is a living example of the possI-
bilities of the greatest industrial center
of all the south land.
Railroads Enter There.
The Louisville and Nashville. the South
ern. the Alabama Great Southern. the
Frisco, the Central of Georgia, the Sea-
board Air Line and the Birmingham Belt;
in fact. every railroad entering the Birm-
ingham district has sought and found en-
trance into North Birmingham. and the
rolling of their cars and the whistles of
their locomotives today add to the busy
scenes and sounds of the growing and
prospecting town.
To reach the tonnage Of the district,
every railroad now built and yet to build
to Birmingham, must of necessity wend
tie way to North Birmingham, for there
they find already millions of valuable
haulage.
Recognizing this point as center OF
production, the railroad companies deal
most literally with the Industrial plants
in North Birmingham in the matter OF
side and spur tracks, running directly into
the various great plants.

Men Who 1 now Talk.

The writer has lately enjoyed interesting
remarks by a number of gentlemen who
have invested T.. North Birmingham. and
who choose that place in preference to
all other points as a location for their in
dustrial enterprises. Among these Presi-
dent Russell of the Southern Sewer Pipe
works, VINO said:
"Our company made no mistake in Sc
lecting North Birmingham as site for
our plant. The success Of our effort here
can best be stated by informing you that
we have plans on foot to double the size
of our plant We find ready market
for our product, and growing demand.
We ship large quantities of our wares to
New Orleans and other of the large mar
kets. We find shipping facilities excellent
from this point. and with the raw material
(shale) close by, cheap coal and labor In
GOOD cOnullioH, we dft well SatiShSu win
our choice of locality. believe there is a
great future for North Birmingham"
Mr.. Myers. manager of the Budwig-
Myers Brick and PROBING company whose
extensive works have just begun opera
lions, said:
1--WE selected North Birmingham as a
location for our extensive plant because
ve regarded it the very best opportunity
presented in the state. We wanted close
proximity to the markets. the benefit and
us of all the trunk lines of railroads in
the south, nearness to coal and to Are
clsys, and the inspiration of the live BUSH
ness center. Our company own extensive
deposits of the snest fire clay in America,
right here in Jefferson county, and we
have just begun to transform 1t into fin
ished product Today we are at work on
our first order-s50.O 900 worth of proofing.
which is to go into a fifteen-story sky
sc-eper at Memphis Tenn. We bid for the
work there in competition with st. Louis
and other river points In the north and
middle west, and North Birmingham won
the prize. Talking about freight rates. we

pills at a rate that completes with water"
Continued liberal policy on the part Of
the present management of the North Bfr-
mingham Land company and the excel
lent natural advantages here offered are
bound to make this great Industrial CEN
ter. This place certainly has the "go" on
its competitors, or might say its CO.

Importance and volume OF which can
hardly be estimated. It is said to be an as
sured fact that the Birmingham Electric
Railway company viii extend its tracks
SO as to connect the thickly populated
communities with North Birmingham, just
as soon as plans can be perfected.
All of this promised increase of popula-
ton means demand for more lots and for
more houses in North Birmingham. and
is assurance to investors of profit on
either permanent or speculative invest
ment.
The combined efforts of the municipality
of North Birmingham and the North Bir-
mingham Land company are daily trans
forming the rougher highways into per-
feet streets The work of grading WIDEN
Ing, macadamizing and curbing Its going
steadily on, and within few months the
picture of smooth driveways and comfort
able walkways at North Birmingham will
add much to the attractiveness of the
town.
Great improvements Planned.
One contemplated Improvement to be
made is an extension and matchmaking
of number of the streets from the east
ern corporate limits of North Birmingham
straight through to connect with Twenty
fifth and other Birmingham streets. These
are to cross village Creek by steel bridges
and will afford a perfect driveway from
Red mountain on the south through the
cities of Birmingham and North Birm-
ingham to and beyond North Birmingham
park; and the sidewalks along the way
are to be eventually paved. This work ac-
complished. and the greater city and its
younger sister are drawn still closer to-
gether-the one enjoying the full advan-
tages of the other-and the visitor kept in
ignorance of a dividing line. This will
prove another attractive feature to North
Birmingham.

First. you will observe as we drive over
town an absence Of vacant houses and OF

lily find tenants for nifty or more new
dwelling houses here If we could induce
investors in lots to build faster.''
Upon what terms and at what price
does the company. offer vacant lots?' was
asked Mr.. Green.
THAT depends upon locality, as 1t does
in every town. The company has business
lots. manufacturing rites and residence
lots, and the prices now are lower than
they win ever be again. The terms are
quite easy, and within reach of all worthy
people who desire to invest here. What
the company wants is moro people and
more industries, because each newcomer
and each investor adds to the value of
North Birmingham. Thousands are to be
added to our population. and the way to
get them is to offer inducements In prices
OF lots and in terms of payment. II
man means business and wants to do bush
ness. the land company never turns him
down"
Mr.. Green spoke Interestingly OF the
past, present ar1 future of North Bir-
mingham. and pointed especially to the
fact that nearly every Industrial plant
now in operation there is preparing to
double its capacity. which really means
doubling at once of the present popula-
ton Of the town.
President NaIson said.
North Birmingham looks good to me-
Our sales last year were the largest In
tn. history of our company. and up to the
present date our sales are 50 per cent
greater than last year.

A Strong Company.
The North Birmingham Land company

shown to owe not one dollar and to have
money at it's command. The officers of the
company are well known, public-spirited
men of means, end of business acumen.
They also enjoy the perfect confidence OF
