Institutions, like men, are great be- cause of their character not their slze. In the formation of a great character. time is a necessary element Charac- ter in an institution is growth a building toward an ideal, persisted Tn until at least some measure or success is attained and recognized in the im- pression made by the institution upon those with whom it has to do.
 The Birmingham Trust x SaVlngs oonnanv began life with an ideal in the minds of it's founders, and quar- ter of a century is now behind II. Ihc men who conduct it know they nave striven faithfully, and without shadow of turning to live up to that ideal, and h,,iid on 1t and make of 1t a living force. The community. sitting in Judg- ment knows and feels how far they have succeeded.

Slowly. as time passed and earnings grew, the dividend and surplus were enlarged together, but the surplus always the faster, the pol icy being well established that the de- nosftor comes first and the stockholder seconde
 After all these years, the surplus now stands at $500,000, equal to the capital, and both together making a million dollars.

BIRMINGHAM TRUST
 & SAVINGS COMPANY
Adds $5OO Surplus and Increases Rate of Interest In Saw
 ngs Department to Per Cent

In night. If this million dollar in- stitution stands for anything in tho community, it is for the conservatism which is the same today and tomorrow. that the first and highest duty of a bank is to furnish a safe depository for the money of the people, and to avoid speculations and promotions, in what ever form they come or however dis guised as public enterprises. Such an institution is great because it's daily life and it's established character teach that supreme lesson of sound and en- during business-that the only thing that ought ever to represent a dollar is dollars worth of real goods.
 The history of the Birmingham Trust x Savings company shows, too, that that conservatism goes hand in hand with the soundest spirit of enterprise It was tho pioneer savings bank of the town, and has taught thousands Of people that homely but splendid lesson It led the way to the erection Of modern bank building and set a pace in bank equip ment. It is the pioneer trust company of Alabama, executing trusts and ad- ministratng estates when those import ant functions seemed like corporate nov cities. The great business concerns which 1t has backed and fostered with it's cred it's are among the foremost and tho soundest in the district.
 Perhaps in nothing has this institution SO well illustrated the virtue of combin- ing prudence always with progress as in its savings department. From almost the beginning 1t has paid 3 per cent on savings. adhering to that figure long aft CT it's competitors had seemed to mako 4 per cent the ruling and legitimate return which the depositors had right to ex- pect. It felt that 1t was better to ir- crease its surplus and therefore the se- curity back of the deposit than to strain its earning power. Now that It's surplus equals its capital and it has million dollars of it's own in the channels of it's business, and experience has demon- strated that 1t can safely and surely, without stress or strain, pay per cent. il has raised it's interest rate, and SD shares its prosperity with the multitude Of it's patrons. ><s

 The new ovens are situated adiacent to other large operations of the com pany and their beginning of work win be the signal for high pitched optimism in the neighborhood of Corey and Ems ley. In Birmingham the beginning of so important manufacturing unit of the steel corporation will be the source of considerable qualification

Birmingham's Seven Buildings

"I can safely say that the seven office buildings already erected in Birmingham are. absolutely fireproof, the later ones. of course. having some fireprooft features in addition to those presented by their pre- decessors. The American Trust & Saw ngs bank building, being the last word on this subject in this city. will, of course. avail itself of all the additional features which have come into being recently and will have two six inch fire lines running up through the building. one more than is usually required. There is only one step further that it will be possible to go to make the buildings of Birmine- sham more fireproof than they are at the present time, and that would be to in- sist that all tenants install metal furni-

POST CARDS

in the ears of those who have been
waiting for the new arrivals among
our series of 100 local views.
To those who are not acquainted
with these cards, to which we have
been adding new subjects, from time
to time, We wish to explain that they
are works of art, hand colored pho
tographs, worth framing; and while
pictures of this class cannot ordin-
arily be sold for less than five or
ten cents each, our price of practi-
cally . cents (25c per DOZEN is made
possible only because of the i'm
mense number we purchase of them
at one time.
On the back OF each card is dis
cription of the subject, which adds
very materially to the value thereof.
and as they are largely of historic
interest every Benningtonian should
possess a set of them, If he would
post himself on our early history.
We have just received about twenty
new subjects, that are especially in
teresting, which, when sent to your
friends will not find their way to the
wastebasket. but will be kept for
their beauty.
