WILL MANUFACTURES
AUTOMATIC STARTERS

Plans are being considered now for
company to manufacture automatic ele-
vator starters, such as are in use in the
Empire building. A. A. Fuller, chief en-
gneer of the Empire and Chamber of
Commerce building, is the inventor of the
devise. which has proven very success
full in the operation of elevators in the
Empire building, completely doing away
with the necessity of a starter.
Mr.. Fuller has just sold the right to
use the starter In the Brown Marx, Wood
ward and First National Bank buildings,
the trade being made with Eugene Brown
of Brown Bros. & Co., agents for the
buildings.
Il have. already had assurances from
several we'll known men in Birmingham
that they would take stock in COM
pany to manufacture these automatic
starters" said Mr.. Fuller yesterday. II
will go into the details of it shortly. or
course, the plant will be located in Biz
mingham.
There should be a universal and steady
demand for automatic starters. The man.
agement of the office buildings has a Sc
rious problem in keeping the elevators
properly distanced, and in order to do
so they employ a man at a good salary
The automatic starters do away with the
services of man to start elevators, saw
Ing his salary every month. Best results
are obtained by the automatic starter.''
