GARAGES HERE
ARE UP TO DATE
Old Machines Are Made
New-Equipment the
Very Best

4 man who owns an automobile an-
cient that it has become a family heir
loom made an agreement with his wife
recently that on their wedding anniver-
sary they would take a trip in the aged
car. There was some sentiment con-
nected with that agreement because that
wedding anniversary would be the fif-
teenth and 1t would also be the fifteenth
anniversary of the purchase of the car
for the bride.
But when it came to the point of over
hauling that machine the local garage
man in the Alabama city where the
man and his wife live told them that he
wasn't equal to the task He said that
the machine had been built long before
the automobile parts were standardized
and certain vital parts of the old machine
turned up missing.
Bound to keep his anniversary pledge
however, the owner of the machine wired
TO the concern that had made it, Reply
came back that the company had long
since gone out of business and had sold
its good will and its patents to another
concern. But this concern was equally
helpless. 1t sent word to the narrowed
auto owner that that kind of car was
made no more and that there were none
of the needed parts in existence and no
machinery existing to make them.
The man who owned the auto began
to get discouraged and he told his wife
they'd probably have to take that we'd
ding anniversary ride in new machine
after ALL But the local garage man had
one more idea to offer
why don't you take your machine up
to Birmingham he suggested. They've
got the most up-to-date garages there
I've ever seen and I've been pretty nearly
all over the country
The auto owner, desperate now, put the
ancient car aboard a freight train and
shipped it here. Then he went to one of
the two dozen big garages and repair
shops in the city. The garage man looked
over the car. We haven't got the missing
parts in Stock he said, but we're
equipped to make them for you.''
He got the order in a jiffy. The old
car was completely renovated at the
garage and turned over to its owner, SO
that he drove 1t back home himself next
day and took his wife out on the ami
verssry ride.
The garage man who made those re-
pairs, where SO many others had failed.

THE TOWEL SUPPLY
PROVES POPULAR
Black and Grimy 'Roll
Towel" Has Gone
Forever

Thanks to the inventive genius of the
man who created the towel supply houses.
the day of the 'old black towel on the
roller is gone forever. and the day of the
Immediately clean towel has come to
stay.
Time was when the last thing removed
for washing from the average store or Of
flee building was the griny towel that
hung over the washstand, often so be-
strewn with dirt that even the office boy
scorned to use it, wiping his face with u
piece of paper instead.
Within 10 years the towel supply houses
have revolutionized all that For in
stance, the merchant of Birmingham, the
bai ber the office boss. and oftentmes
even the houses and hotels now get daily
supply of fresh, perfectly laundered
towels at expense so trinng even a
supply for an entire office building for an
entire week is delivered cheaper than the
towels coud~be washed and repaired by
the concern itself. OF course the expense
Is one thing that has led to the over
whelming development of this seemingly
trivial industry. Another feature of even
greater Importance Is the sanitary ad-
ventages that come with the professional
towel supply.
Independent of WasherwOman
In the old days when the towels used
by SO many people in the big shops, office
buildings and other institutions depending
for their washing upon the ambition and
good will of the washerwoman, there
said: why, that's nothing wonderful.
guess that any of the high-class public
garages and repair shops In Birmingham
could have done the trick just as well
as we did You see, as a matter of fact,
the great number and the amazing va
rlety and classes of automobiles used by
individuals and corporations in this city
and vicinity has simply forced the public
garages to equip themselves so that they
will be able to make any repairs of what
ever nature at a moments notice. AS a
result the garages are the finest equipped
of any in the country and contain every
part for every automobile from the
smallest bolt to the carburetor. The au-
tomobie repair business in Birmingham
has simply had to be reduced to fine
art. Incidentally it is also one of the
most thriving businesses in the SOUTH"

came many week when she felt too in
disposed to do the task, with the result
that the employees of the buildings who
must Use the soiled towels indiscrimi-
nately actually laid themselves open to
grave danger of diseases.
Physicians preached in vain for years
the doctrine that more germs lurked in
the towels that had scrubbed the dirt
from various hands and faces than
lurked anywhere else short of a cesspool.
Finally they began to make people take
bit of warning, but the end of the old
roller towel was not yet. There had al
ways been the demand of the BARRIERS for
individual towels and it is probably that
demand that put the idea of the general
towel supply into the head of the genius
who invented it. He saw how concern
could be formed with capital stock to buy
sufficient towels to supply half the bust j.
ness places of city and a laundry big
enough to wash these towels each day
Then he added a couple of delivery
wagons and began his work of reform. Of
course he was out to make the money
this genius. but his reform wrought was
meme the less great for that.
Innovation Proves Popular
Store keepers. office men, banks and
even breweries, began to see that the in
dividual towel served by the dozen or half
dozen clean and fresh each day put in
their way a chance to avoid the clamor
that sanitary people were making and

also protecting them against the scare
the doctors had succeeded in throwing
into them.
Little by little at first, but faster and
faster as time went on, the towel supply
business grew In this city it got an
early start and it's progress has been
amazing. To say that two-thirds of all
the stores, office buildings, as we'll as
many other institutions are the regular
patrons of the daily towel supplies, is at
least no eXaggeration. Indeed the indus
try has threatened an inroad upon the
domestic housekeeper and her Monday

towels have been going on in Birming-

Birmingham probably has as many first
class cleaning and pressing establish
ments as any city of its size in the coun-
try. All of the companies enjoy a good
business. Many out of town persons pat
ronize them through the parcel post and
express companies. The business is con-
stantly increasing, as the public realizes
more and more that their use is a real
opportunity to reduce the cost of living
Practically all of the establishments
doing dry cleaning operate dyeing plants
in the same connection, and some of the
best artists in this line to be found in the
country are in Birmingham. The softest

FIRE AT BLOOMFIELD

The heavy rain of last Saturday
eXtinguished the forest fire on the
property of the Connecticut Valley
Lumber Co. at Bloomfield which had
become very threatening. Several
small numbering shacks were destroy
ed, but all the horses and equipment
were saved. A rough estimate gives
the extent of the fire as having
burned over 500 acres, on which were
a million feet of cut lumber, much
valuable timber and thousand cords
of hemlock bark. The fire started
in one of the camps.
