Biggest OF Its Kind
In All Birmingham
DonahOo Horse and Mule Company
One of City's Big Successes.
Richly Deserved Tribute to Pluck Industry and Energy

If is the province of such an issue as
today's AgeHerald to present sketch
of everybody and something about eV-
cry enterprise that in any way con-
tributes to the progress and develop
ment of Birmingham, the fastest grow
ing and most prosperous city IN the
south. Such a summary would be IN
complete without a short story OF the
Donahoo Horse & Mule company, 2701
Second avenue, and the leading spirits
behind the enterprise.
The success of doing but one thing
and doing it well was never more
amply proven than in the case of A. g..
Donahoo, president and general mana
ger, and T.. A. Donahoo, assistant mana
ger, of the Donahoo company. Prob
ably no other two men in the country
could be found who know as much or
more about a horse or mule than these
two gentlemen. Their entire career
since boyhood has been associated with
the animals. Beginning life on a farm
they have had abundant experience
which equips them as past masters in
the art of sizing up horse or mule at
sight.
For more than 20 years the Donahoos
have made living buying. selling and
trading these valuable servants of man.
Either of them can tell you at glance

Coming to Birmingham from Annis-

order to get better assembling and dis

the beginning a different and better

Before speaking of the plan let it be

Mr.. Donahoo further explained that
there is no such thing as wholesale

necessarily limited, and unless some
man makes it a business to buy un-

chases before bringing them to mar

The Donahoo Company never buy in

LIVE STOCK TRADE
SHOWS BIG INCREASE

Though Birminghams live stock
business is more of local than of ma
tional scope yet it has easily reached
the point where between 40 and so car
loads of cattle are shipped weekly to
and from the stock yards of this city.
Two live stock concerns with big
yards on the outskirts of the city take
care of the trade which is mostly in
cows, bulls and heifers. These are
brought to the yards mostly from the
farms and plantations of Alabama, Mis-
sssippi and southern Tennessee. Those
that are slaughtered here go to supply
the local meat trade with it's fresh beef
while the other cattle are put aboard
cars at the stockyards and shipped to
purchasers in other cities of this state
Mississippi and Florida.
The quality of the live stock business
of Birmingham is it's chief asset for
the yards here have won a reputation
throughout the country of dealing only
in the best of cattle and in consequence
the trade both locally and foreign is
of the highest class.
Probably the greatest number of cows
and other livestock imported to Bir-
mingham's stockyards are sold either
on the hoof or slaughtered to the local
retail meat trade and this trade, of
course, is of considerable volume. The
cream of the stock brought to the yards
to thus be either used for food in Bir-
mingham and vicinity or else is sold out
to the farmers of the state
although the business is not as
large as some in the other southern
cities it is coming forward very rapidly
