 dcncy of Dimmiclz Pipe
 Company
GOES TO PHILADELPHIA

The resignation of Fred D. Dimmick as president of the Dimmick Pipe company of North Birmingham will be rendered the directors of that company within the next few days, after which he will leave for Philadelphia, where he will make his future home. He will be succeeded as president of his company by his father, J. K Dimmick of Philadelphia, who will arrive here within a few days to assume management of the local properties of the company.
 The changes which occur have been known to a. few intimate friends of MT. Dimmick for the past few days and will be of wide interest in industrial circles of Birmingham.
 Fred Dimmicl1 will have charge of the extensive business interests of his father in Philadelphia and the changes amount to little else than an exchange of man agements by the two men. The firm of J. K. Dlmmick & Co.,, of Philadelphia has been operating widely known coal, iron coke and steel brokerage agency for many years and it ranks with the best and
 
 active management by Fred Dimmiek, 1t is believed, will be of benefit to all con oerned In speaking of the changes yes terday Fred Dimmick said:
 My father, J. K. Dimmick, will be elected president of the Dmmck com peny some time next month, succeeding myself. I will go to Philadelphia some time in January to assume charge of his firm, known as J. K. Dimmick & Go. No other changes will be made. We be- lieve the change will be of value to us both The conditions down here are. we hope, better suited for my father. while in eastern steel and iron circles there are avenues of wide service that will be open there for me.
 "The changes in the management will not affect the plant except in this one particular. My father has never lived in Birmingham, but has visited here fre- quently We believe he will like the city and the people I will make frequent visits to Birmingham. I regret leaving this city very much, as I think a young man here has a great many chances to be of value to the community and to win success. However our relations in Philadelphia are pretty well known and I think those will be of even wider value than the local connections.'
 Fred Dimmick Is one of the most pop ular men in the local industrial field and his removal from this city will be learned with intense regret by his large following of friends. He has been ac- | lively in charge of the North Birmingham | plant of his company for several years and it's phenomenal success attests strong l ly his conservative management and his | able leadership. The company works sev- | eral hundred men at that place, all of whom are very fond of their young man. ager As an evidence of their friendship | to him yesterday and their regret at his leaving, handsome Masonic jewel was presented the retiring president. It was an emblem of a thirty-second degree Mason, handsomely done in solid gold with the Masonic jewels arranged upon | if fine solitaire diamond shone from the center of the emblem. The presenta- l ton was from those men who have been near MT. Dimmick for many years and | who admire him greatly.
 He will remove his family to Philadel- phia just as soon as affairs here can | he arranged
