NEW STYLE OF COVERING PROM
ISES TO CAUSE IMPORTANT
CHANGES IN BUILDING AND
CONSTRUCTION

The introduction of concrete roof tile as
manufactured by the Alabama Concrete
Roof Tile company of this city, is ten
strike i'll the building game as this new
material has many advantages which
have heretofore been unknown.
Not only is this tile the most artistic
and durable of anything yet placed on
the market but its cost is cheaper and
its guarantee more binding than any
other roofing material now before the
public.
Great strides have been made in con-
crete work and its by-products within
the past few years. but certainly there
Is nothing more unique or which has
more brilliant future than the concrete
roof tile. 1t is generally the case that
when a person purchases a superior ar
ticle of any description that he expects
to pay a larger price than for inferior
material. The long established rule of
supply and demand has fixed this as
almost Imperative. The exception to
prove the rule happens to be the case of
this roofing material
Among the many advantages which
have been proven for concrete roof tile

NEW CONCRETE ROOFING
HAS MANY ADVANTAGES


is that there is no special construction
needed, nor does it require a solid deck
ing of waterproof paper to protect the
house from leaks in wet or rainy
weather. The concrete Is laid in open
construction, thereby making a perfectly
ventilated roof, cool in the summer and
for the same son, warm and snug
in the winter. As is well known, many
tile and clay roofs require a specially
constructed frame, and number of
other additional pieces of equipment be-
fore they will give satisfaction.
Neither are the walls of a house in
danger when concrete roof tile are used.
In many instances when special forms
of roofing are used it is necessary to
make the timbering in the walls very
heavy but concrete roof tiles are no
heavier than shingles and construction
suitable for shingles will hold this roof
ing without danger of sagging.
The lasting qualities of concrete are
too well known to need special mention
1t is said that a concrete tr.e1.ng stows
stronger the longer that it stands, and at
100 years is more stable than when con-
structed Concrete roofing has not re-
ceived test for such long period as
this, but with each contract an iron clad
company will repair any leaks or make
good any other Objectionable features
which may arise during that period.
Another decided advantage is that the
system of coloring used in this roofing Is

FLORISTS HAVE
LARGE BUSINESS
Birmingham Growers Meet
Local Demands and Are
Large Shippers

Shipping cut flowers TO points within as
great radius as Texas aud Arkansas is
indication CT floral business that covers
practically the entire south. That Is
such that the original tihts viii not fade
and as the top surface is absolutely i'm
pervious to water, an appearance SINH
lar to that of newly painted roof is
given after each rain.
OF course. it is hardly necessary to add
that this roofing is absolutely fireproof.
This is a distinctive advantage, and q
feature that is demanded in many cities.
The products of the Alabama Concrete
Roof Tile company are manufactured un
der the Scheiber patents, and known as
the Scheiber concrete roof tile, and the
results so far obtained by the company
have been entirely satisfactory to all
concerned SO much, in fact, that the
general Introduction of this roofns
promises to revolutionlze the building
game to a considerable extent.

what one of the Birmin CHAIN dealers did
the first season of a mail order depart
ment which was instituted a few months
ago. purely as an experiment, ara a--
veloped SO successfully and rapidly tha-
it has now become an entirely separate
branch of the work, with orders being
sent out almost daily to several different
states.
Meeting the demand for flowers in Bir

from one years end to the other and IS
never at a standstil. requires tine services

carnations, the staples of the flower bus
mess. This one establishment maintains
three separate. paying branch stores in
the city and furnishes a large part of the
flowers in constant demand for funerals,
weddings and social functions, to say
nothing of the debutantes whose bouquets
are regular part of their costumes.
There is surprising sale of the rarer
flowers. such as orchids, and they are
kept ON hand so that they may be sup
piled at a moments notice.
The marked feature of the present sea-
son has been the unusual call for grow
Ing plants, geranums, colias, petunias
and such, which have almost doubled
their sales. tending to show that the
city beautiful idea has gotten firm hold
and is being put into practice to the ad-
