Ii Lights Up n e Situation

This talk of four sky-scrapers- it is good, meaty talk, too-Woud have positive value if it did not forecast or any such actual development in the current year.
 In the first place, it throws clear light on the status of Birmingham during the present period of general depression We think safe to say that Birmingham is the only city in the South and the only city of its class in tn United States where serious discussion of four great build ngsves for thousands of peopeis possible of this time.
 But the illumination of the cumulative acceleratng growth of Birmingham is much more impressive. Such talk was not heard-could not be heard-two years ago out as naturally as plant blooms night The tremen dous growing power of Birmingham could not be oby illustrated And warrants in expecting and believing that shall marvellous transformation in this as conditions get right again.
 In the meantime-whie the period of waiting rapidly short ening-we advise the purchase of Birmingham real estate
