 FOR SALE.
 A few choice offerings in Shades Valley. "The best land close to Birmingham to live on and make a living"
 In the Pine Ridge District, reached by the most attractive route, that is to say, through Highland avenue, out Iroquois street-no more beautiful section any where, and just 10 minutes from High land avenue. Values in this district are just as sure to enhance 50 per cent in two years as Birmingham is sure to continue its forward march to greatness. r $1300-5 acres on Shades creek, fertile and cleared, macadam road all the way. Good for truck garden. chicken farm or country home; cheapest land offered in this section the past two years Terms. S900.00-3 acres, exceptionally well locat- ed for country home; half cleared and under cultivation; some magnificent fruit and fine fences Strictly a bargain. Macadam road all the way.
 S4000-Cream of location, six acres, two wells, barn, plenty of fruit and five room bungalow; screened, painted and papered; view superb; close neighbors; macadam road all the way. Terms.
 S10O0.0O-Five acres in the woods Fine old oaks and other forest trees. Beautiful building site-woud make excellent chick en run. Macadam road all the way. Terms.
 And l have others. All above places are two miles from property selling at s175 a foot and here I am soffering it at not much more than s175 an acre-do you see the point? From these properties you can see homes under construction on Red mountain, which is no longer barrier to development in the valley.
 I can prove to you by the maps in Tax Assessors office that practically every successful man in Birmingham who deals in real estate owns land in Shades Val ley, and little is offered for sale. What S the answer? See me.
