GREAT DEMAND
AMONG BUILDERS
FOR SHALE BRICK
Contractors Find That 1t
Has Great Many Ad-
vantages-HOw 1t
Is Manufactured

Shale brick has come into it's own ;as a
building material within the past few
years to such an extent that today the
manufacturers of this district can hardly
supply the demands. And the dealers
report a continually increasing demand.
Recent improvements in the quality and
durability of this particular style of
brick, due. 1t is said, to the improved
machinery used in its manufacture, is
largely responsible for these conditions
Some of the largest plants in the Bir-
mfngham district and throughout the
the state are now specializing ON this
particular grade. and the general demand
is expected to increase even greater
The tendency for face brick is toward
impervious shale rather than the old
fashioned dry-pressed brick, since it is
more impervious to weather wear and
is more easily cleaned.
The superior qualities of shale brick,

mingham has secured the manufacturing
plant for the southern states. The fac
tory is located in North Birmingham.
Southern headquarters of the Sherwin-
Williams company of Cleveland were Sc
cured for Birmingham. The company has
taken 10-year lease on a four-story
building on Morris avenue, and has a
growing office force, as well as an ac-
tive staff of statesmen travelling through
the southeastern states and maintaining
headquarters in Birmingham.
The Main Betting company of Phila-
delphia brought it's southern headquarters
to Birmingham, securing store on South
Twentieth street. This company manu-
factures commercial betting of a high
quality.
The Hills-McCanna company of Chicago
also has headquarters on South Twen-
tleth street, where it distributes its line

Among other companies which have
been established in Birmingham during
the past year are the National Cast
Iron Pipe company, whose large plant
is now being completed near Boyles, and
the Wiley Candy company, whose factory
is on North Twenty-fourth street.
Plan for Financing
1t Is gratifying to know that in sew
eral of the cases just enumerated local
capital has taken a part in the organza-
.tion OF the companies.
An urgent need is the presence of a
company or agency which will be able
to help desirable companies wishing to
locate In Birmingham, by the loan of
funds or the guaranty of credit through
local banks Such a plan has been con-
sidered and at one time, was near COM
pietion. Doubtless 1t will be taken up
again and placed in Operation.
Correspondence and personal interviews
are In constant progress between the
general secretary of the Chamber of
Commerce and the officers of companies
which are giving Birmingham serious con-
sideraton. Many of these companies de-
sire bonuses. In the shape of free sites,
buildings or the taking of stock Bir-
mingham does not give encouragement to
concerns of this nature. having reached
the conclusion, after investigation and
experience, that it is not profitable to
do so.
Industries desiring to come to Birming-
ham are given every encouragement that
good business Judgment will permit, and
are shown that the Chamber of Commerce
has an earnest desire to be of the ut
most service to every worthy company.
This is shown in the collection of sta
tstics showing taxation cost of opera
ton. freight rates prices of land, and in
other ways such as bringing newcomers
in touch with business men and bankers
who can be of practical service. In short,
nothing ;s left uhdono which will tend
to bring new Industries to Birmingham.

which is rapidly coming into favor. are
the extraordinary capacities of shale as
a brick making material to fuse with
clay. Through the burning process the
shale fuses to such an extent that a sol
idity and density almost equal to that
of granite is obtained
The use of shale in the manufacture Of
brick has only come into vogue within
the past several years for a twofold
reason. Prior to about three years ago
there was no machinery in existence with
which to adequately pulverize the shale
for this purpose The invention of the
machine was the result of the second
reason. which was the gradual exhaus-
ting of the supply of brick clay. Shale
which brick manufacturers had formerly
been afraid to tackle, was then forced
into the market as a brick making ma
terial.
The ultimate result of these conditions
was the production of the best brick, ae-
eordng to the prominent dealers. that had
yet been placed upon the market.
Shale brick is now being used to a
large extent as face brick for residences
as well as for business buildings. because
it is proof against interior dampness.

IRON PIPING PLAYS BIG
PART IN WORLDS HEALTH
Many Necessities and Comforts of Life Are Handled Through
Underground systems-King Solomon One of the
Early Users of Aqueduct Work-Many Cities
Supplied BY Local Plant

Over at the Bessemer factory of the
United States Cast Iron Pipe and Foun-
dry company they are running to ca
racity, supplying 5000 tons of iron pipe to
people and corporations all over the world
for the installation of gas and water
works. Six thousand tons of iron piping
sold every month sounds pretty big in
itself. But when 1t is understood that
the same concern is working another
plant at Admission, and 13 others in various
parts of the United States-every one OF
them engaged in the same business oil
casting 5000 tons of iron pipes a month
the magnitude of that industry fills one
with amazement
Coke By-PrOduct
Incidentally the history of piping in
the world is one of absorbing interest
from the time King Solomon built eque-
ducts at Jerusalem to the present time
when the water supply of practically
every city In the country is brought TO
/ its citizens homes through the pipes
while other pipes carry them their gas
OF oil.
1t is at the Bessemer plant where the
United States Cast Iron Pipe company
is turning out its quota of these great
worlds necessities.
The main pipe and machine shops OF
the Bessemer Works. including the coke
plant, occupy about 70 acres and give
employment to some 500 men.
The plant carries five and a half miles
of standard gauge railroad track and
sidings operated by the company's locomo-
tives, all of which are connected with
the various railroads centerng in Besse-
mer affording unsurpassed facilities for
the shipping of the product of the cor
poration to all parts of the world.
The main pipe shop is a building 41C
feet long by 100 feet wide in which the
greatest quantity of the product is fash
ioned Here are produced pipe rangin;
from four to 70 inches in diameter
Incidentally it should not be forgotten
that the United States company at Bes-
semer not only makes all the coke for its
own use. but manufactures such a large
quantity that the residue has been put
+ upon the market in such amounts that
the coke plantsis one of the most i'm
portant adjuncts of the works.
p The plant includes a complete electric
light and pumping station, with fire
apparatus all its own and in connection
with the works there are built several
hundred houses for the use of employees
Not the least interesting feature. of the
great works is the model hotel which is
run by the company as residence for
it's workers. And all these facilities, labor
OF the hundreds of men, and the i'm
mense amount of capital involved is de-
voted to the business underground that
has come to be wonderful business In
this day of subterranean wonders. And
some of the corporations supplied with
piping by the Bessemer plant have taken
its limit, the 72-inch pipe for sewerage,
or conduit or water system. Only one
other shop in the world produces pipe
of greater diameter while some of the
connections and joints that the Besse-
mer works swing over their giant crane
from the main shops to the waiting freigh.

CAMPAIGN WAGED
BY BIRMINGHAM
FOR INDUSTRIES
Chamber of Commerce Is
Always on the Outlook
for Moderate Sized
Plants

One of Birmingham's greatest needs
Is an increase in the number of moderate
sized Industrial plants. This has been
recognized by the chamber of commerce
In the selection of a strong industrial
bureau committee, which is doing good
work.
Years ago when only few cities MAIN
tanned organized agencies for securing
new industries, 1t was comparatively easy
to induce concerns not entirely satisfied
with their conditions to remove to other
locations. But as commercial bodies have
been organized in hundreds of cities from
one end of the country to the other, and
have developed industrial bureaus. COM
petition has become Keen Agencies for
the collection of industrial tips are in
operation. and these tips" are sold to
chambers of commerce and are imme-
diately used in active efforts to induce
likely prospects to remove. These ef-
forts are made through correspondence
and by visits from representatives of
commercial organizations, who place be-
fore the officers of Industrial concerns
the facts designed to show why removal
would prove profitable.
Birmingham has used both methods
during the past year. A large portion of
the work has been by correspondence,
but IN certain cases the president and
the general secretary have combined the
duties of business trip so that visits
to Industrial prospects have been made.

cars are so great that they stand high
above the men who made them and
weigh more than the car that carries
them away. The volume of business done
by the company at Bessemer may be
computed from the fact that its orders
are filled more often in whole trainloads
of piping than in loads of one or two
cars
Some Large Contracts
But far and away the largest con-
tracts of the company are made up of the
Il foot length castings that go into the
water. gas and sewerage systems of the
country. The iron for these pipes Is
brought to the factory in the crudest
shape of ore. 1t is furnaced and cast
molten in vertical mouds of dry sand.
These great moulds will each one cast
one pipe at a time and the men who cast
them pour the moulten mass down the
great tubed from a heighth of more than
IL feet above the ground.
Then after the casting, of course comes
the finishing when the pipes are pre-
pared for market in another depart
ment. incidentally the company has
found that the pipe case vertically in
dry sand is far superior to the older
pipe which was cast in green sand length
wise ION the bank. Finally after the
finishing and the proper Jointures have
been provided in other departments of
the works the great cylinders of trans
formed metal are raised high in the air
to the freight cars awaiting them to
carry them to the consignees.
Cast Iron 200 Years Old
Speaking of the pipe castings and the
history of the trade an officer of the
company said:
While we do not know when pipe was
first cast there are well authenticated in
stances of cast iron main in service today
which were laid more than 200 years ago,
and such pipe have been in general use
more than 100 years In 1901 in Versailles,
France, an officer of this company saw
repairs being made to a line of cast iron
pipe leading to one of the palace foun-
tains that had probably been in continu-
| Gus use for more than 100 years. 1t was
said that the pipes were put down in 1885.
The fracture of this aged pipe, due to
subsidenee, showed inside a clean pipe
VI Sooo grey noh, pul iltit iu5ttu out-
side. The first cast iron pipe in use in
London was laid more than a century
ago and is still doing perfect service. In
Philadelphia the cast iron pipings that
replaced the old time bored logs in 1901
have been exclusively used by the water
department
Thus cast iron as material has long
been accepted as the standard for under
ground mains and is used exclusively for
water and gas systems in every town of
this country and Europe
After the statement of the officer OF
the company it isn't so hard to under
stand why the Bessemer plant is taxed
TO its capacity of COCO tons month to
keep up with the demand for iron pipes,
or why the demand for the product in the
size of the moulds of the Bessemer plan!
has become so great that the company
is building a considerable extension to
the works.

Motor Cars Used in Business Here

There are more motor cars used In
the industrial business of Birmingham
than are used in any other city of the
south. One of the reasons for this of
course, is the fact that the volume of
industrial business is greater. But an
other is more to the point The other
is that there is no town in the south
whose streets are paved so well to admit
of automobile carriage. 1t is said tina I
there is not an accepted streeE in Bir-
mingham that is not accessible to even
the most heavy class of auto traffic all
the year around
