R. [. COLLINS & CO.
 b|G WHOLESALERS Firms Growth Has Been Steady and Constant Since
 It Began in 1886

R. E. Collins came to Birmingham in 1886 and opened up wholesale grocery establishment at the corner of Second ave- nue and Twenty-fourth street. At that time the demand for groceries and food stuffs was very heavy, inasmuch as many railroads were being built in the vicinity and hundreds of men were laying the foundations for the present Birmingham. With the rapid expansion of the city and the complimentary growth of trade, Mr. Collins enlarged his store and moved to the corner of Morris avenue and Twenty first street. In 1907 Mr. Collins built a handsome four story brick building at the corner of First avenue and Twenty third street and moved his wholesale busi- ness to that place, where he has con- tinued up to the present time.
 Mir. Collins is the sole owner of the large wholesale grocery establishment, one of the largest of it's kind in the en- tire south. It Is stated that the Collins company is the oldest continuous whole sale firm in the city. From the modern building on First avenue much of the trade of the Birmingham district is sup piled. MT Collins has five traveling men who care for his business in and around Birmingham, and who keep the name of Collins X Go. before the retail
 
 One of tine specialties of the Collins company is canned goods, the firm often buying an entire crop when it is especial ly good MT. Collins also has the agency for the Snowflake brand of flour, which is made from q special brand of irrigated Colorado wheat. The wheat used in mall- ing the Snowflake flour weighs four pounds more to the bushel than any other wheat In the last year Mr Collins has secured the agency for the Postel Ele- gant flour. Illinois product which has been on the market for many years. Mr. Collins states that he has sold thou sands of sacks of the Snowflake flour and has yet to receive his first complaint of it.
 In speaking of his business Mr. Collins said that trade conditions in the Birming- nam district were excellent and that since he first came here in 1886 his business had kept steady pace with the growing city.

This Concern Is Only Exclu- sive Wholesale Hat House
 in the State of Alabama

The Sturkey Hat company, whole salers, who occupy a building at the corner of First avenue and Twenty second street. is the only exclusive wholesale hat house In the state of Alabama. The company has been in business since April. 1911. ?. l.. Sur kel is president of the company E. NJ Cousins. vice president and II. F. Redd, secretary and treasurer.
 The Sturkey Hat company ships hats, caps. gloves and umbrellas throughout labama Georgia, Flor ida and Mississippi, having a force of travelling men to care for the trade In these states. The same merchandise that is bought in foreign markets can be bought from them at a much lower cost, as freight charges are not to be included The stock is bought eX- clnsively for this section of the country and the line embraces the products of the best hat cap, glove and umbrella factories of the United States. The famous Stetson hat is one of theiy speciaties.
 phe company is at present enjoying all of the business that it can handle For the best merchants are fast learn ing that tfey can buy the same mer- chandse at home. Alabama merchants naturally look to them for their supplies and the result is an increased business for the Sturkey company and for Birmingham

Snider has not the exclusive agency on any tobaccos or snuffs of standard manufacture, as the manu- lecturers do not grant exclusive agencies of their goods to any particular 1obber. The policy of exclusive agencies is be- ing done away with as it has been found that one jobber cannot reach all the trade or desire to do so. It Is claimed to be best for the several wholesalers and job bers to have access to all the leading brands of tobaccos and thereby reach all the trade.
