standing in the northern and southern
portions of the state, and it is estimated
that there are more than 20,000,oO0 acres
still uncut. This area is growing timber
to the estimated extent of 800 feet per
year The pine belt extends at least $50
miles north of the Gulf of Mexico. Hard
woods of almost every variety are found
in every section of the state. In north
ern Alabama the supply is almost as
great as in the southern portion of the
state
Brick and Concrete
No city has better advantages than Bir-
mingham when the brick and concrete
market is considered. The district has
several of the largest brick plants in the
SOUTH and there has never been time
when it was not possible to secure the
best grade of bricks get them promptly
and at reasonable prices. This city is
particularly fortunate in this regard
more So perhaps, than any other city in
the south.
Concrete and other building materials
in which minerals are used are also very
popular There are many plants through
out the district which furnish the best
grade of materials obtainable and their
use has increased at an Amazing rate
within the spast few years.
Many Articles Made
Birmingham industrial plants furnish
many articles used in construction work
These are shipped not only throughout
the United States, but to various places
III foreign countries. The Birmingham
contractor or builder gets the pick of the
stock. and can have his orders delivered
to him much quicker than the man in
another state or another country Be-
cause of the presence of these industrial
plants it is also possible to get special or

Birmingham Star City of the South

Birmingham Star City of the South
A New Yorker whose name stands for
as much in the indsutrial world as any
other mans in the country, spent two
weeks in Birmingham last May on a visit
of pure investigation. When he went
away he said, TT is the star city of the
south It's not the Magic City, because
there's nothing magic about it, but il is
the fastest growing town based on
solid foundation that / have ever come
across and | am only wondering that
the acute capitalists of the north have
peen unable to see their transcendent
opportunity here until the past few years
Now the town has gone far beyond the
plain proposition of Investment It's got
to be too big and too growing and already
too well known for that

From the day the basic rail succeeded

Birmingham Is Center for

Southern States

terial Assets in the Building of
Birmingham-Trad From
Many States

There's an old but very famous saying
In the world of industry that city has
a pretty good backbone If the stifening
of its spine is hardware.
That adage, proven true million times
in the history of municipalities has
proved true once again in the case of the
city of Birmingham Unquestionably her
hardware trade has done much to make
for Birmingham Industrial supremacy,
and by the same token Birmingham's fav-
orable situation in the heart of the indus
trial belt of the south has undoubtedly
served to make her what she is known
to be, "the Mecca of hardware mem in
the south
Every kind of tool for every known
craft; guns, cutlery. agricultural imple-
ments and sporting goods; household fur
niture, iron and steel of course railroad
and mining supplies, and a hundred other
articles of every day use in the whole
world are turned out from the citys
hardware shops and verify have contrib
uted in no small amount to the 'stiffen-
ing of the industrial backbone of the me-
1ropolis. There is no, other city in the
south so favorably situated for the devel-
opment of a great hardware trade If for
no other reason the great steel works
would make the town perforce a big hard
ware center, but beside that natural ad-
vantage there has come into the CITY a
group of men in this line of trade who
are second to no others in the United
States and they have been booming their
trade year by year, keeping pace with
every boom and every mile-stride of
growth.
Many Millions in 1t
The wholesale hardware business of
Birmingham has reached the point where
this year it will amount to much more
than s1O.o00.00o. and the wonder of that is
not so much in the amount in figures as
in the tremendous increase they repre-
sent Thousands <of men and women are
employed in this trade alone, and 1t is one
of the most profitable employments the
average man can obtain. AT the same
time scores of travelling statesmen selling
pretty nearly everything from the time
honored pin to engines are engaged in ex-
plotting the great hardware products of
this town in every other section of the
south. The jobbng houses in the city
handling agricultural implements alone
are doing a tremendous business And
that is cnly one of the units in the great
trade. Every hatchet. every tack. saddle,
shoe, pipe, bolt anvil, home fixture-every
article that is represented in the entire
country's needs in hardware is repre-
scented by the sales made by the big Bir-
mingham houses and as result there
is hardly a farmer, miner housekeeper
nimrod or anybody else within hundreds
of miles around who does not use daily
some or many of the implements bearing
the brands Of the Birmingham whole
salers and makers. Moreover, this trade
has so far broadened that II now caters
also TO the consumers of Ohio. Indiana
Illinois, West Virginia, the Caroiinas and
virtually every southern central state
with many more on the outskirts OF the
region besidee
It 10 moreover regarded certain that

Supply Houses Well Eouinped

In the general line of builders supplies
no city in the south carries larger lire
thar the local jobbers and manufac cturers'
agents. Every article manufactured fo,.
the building and construction line is to be
had here, and they are carried in such
large quantities that it Is rarely imposs-
BILE that complete order no matter how
large can be supplied.
Building and construction have pro-
gressed here so rapidly in the last few
years that wholesale supply men now buy

volunteered for the task.

with q very big American nag. and
when he reached the green more "co.
