a Special Sermon to Men at the
Large Tent at EnsIey
Tomorrow,

Ensley, September 14.-(Speelal)-"Th
general condition of prosperity Is most
promising for Ensley. The coming year
will be record breaker. All our indus-
tries are and have been for some time
running day and night. The addition u
the steel plant, which is now in course OF
construction, has given employment to
many hands As soon as completed the
production of steel will be doubled and
even then the supply will not equal the
demand.
'"There is not an empty house In Ensley
or any of her suburbs. Just as fast as
residences are constructed there is a rush
to occupy them.
Real estate values are high, but sales
are booming and people all over the eoun-
try are trying to procure property in this
vicinity.
THE merchants are doing thriving
business. The miners are all back at work
and Ensley seems to be entering into
period of industry and prosperity that will
place her far ahead of anything she has
yet reached"
