FROM CAR LOAD A
WEEK TO A TRAIN
OF OIL EVERY DAY
Birmingham Is Now South
ern Headquarters in Dis
tributing-What Has
Been Accomplished

TIE Standard Oil company early recog-
nized in Birmingham city of tremen-
dous possibilities. In keeping with its
policy of pioneering territory it opened its
first office here on Morris avenue in 1855,
when the town was so young that it was
still toddling in the long dress stage
Today the Standard Oils Birmingham
plant has become one of the largest in the
south and the little barrel station which
was it's first headquarters on Morris ave-
nue. has been replaced by a. plant that
cars and tank delivery wagons and splen-
did offices at Avenue f and Seventh
street, which employ more than so people
The birmingham branch, in charge of
Special Agent Pauley, is the headquarters
branch for the entire Alabama Standard
OIL business. and the offices here super
wise directly or indirectly the whole oil
trade of the 92 sub-stations in the state.
That is not all. The territory is devel-
oping so rapidly that at the present time
six new sub-stations are in course of con-
struction. Alabama, with the Birming-
ham headquarters leading. is rapidly be-
coming the greatest oil state in the south.
A Car Load Week
The rise and development of the Bir-
mingham Standard OIL trade has been
fully in keeping with that of the city and
the rich territory which it supplies. When
the barrel plant was established in 1888

decorating, where everything from door
knobs and latches to family coats-o
arms may be had as easily as in the
markets of the east and there is no bet
ter indication of the TRADE in Bir-
mingham" spirit than the contract
awarded a local firm for the entire
interior finishing of an $780, resi-
dence which will be one of the hand
soonest in the city when it is COM
p1eted. That includes the wall paneling,
the carpets woven to order in special
design, the curtains to match, all drap-
cries and upholstering, the lighting fix
lures, the stained glass windows and
the hand carved mahogany furniture
everything to be put from the time
the builders leave the place.
People are beginning to realize that
they don't have to turn to foreign mar
kets even for the finest of their fixtures
and decorations. said a local dealer
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-06-18

who has put his stamp on half dozen
southern states.
"Birmingham's artistic side is devel-
oping as rapidly as in her every other
phase and is becoming one of her great
est drawing cards. Interior work Is
not case of merely hanging wall
papering and curtains. 1t requires a
fine knowledge of every branch of art
The building boom of Birmingham has
made 1t one of the city's paying in
dustries and has created demand for
the highest priced materials and ar
lists that are being supplied right here
at home. For instance, the men at our
drawing board and easels are graduates
of the leading art institutes of the coun-
try and not a one of them who doesn't
know the composition of the most COM
plex and indefinable color. or the last
principle of proportion.
There is no limit to the size of the
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-06-18

contracts we can handle or to the ex-
pensiveness or cheapness of the ma
terials we can furnish"
As result of the demand for the
very best, many of the different sup
plies are manufactured in the Birming-
ham district. but foreign manufacturers
have also invaded the territory. and the
contractor or builder who starts out
to select material for the interior finish
of a home knows that he has the best
goods of the world to pick from when
visiting the dealers of this city.
Appreciation of this part of Birming-
hams development has brought orders
from Tennessee. Mississippi, South
Carolina and Georgia, where in Colum-
bus, three of the handsomest residences
under construction are to be equipped
with fixtures and finishings from local
merchants.

BIRMINGHAM STOVES COOK
MEALS FOR MANY PERSONS

While possibly the making of stoves is
not quite Is complicated an operation as
that connected with the manufacture of
pianos and watches. nevertheless the
building of a stove in one of the Bir-
mingham works is attended with quite a
sufficiency of finesse and delicacy. al
though the only component parts of the
product are iron and steel.
First of all the layman would never con-
ceive that the ton load lots of iron in
toughest form that he saw being drawn
to one side of the stove works and
dumped with a crash on a great piece of
curved steel to break them up, would ever
be brought forth from the delivery end
of that same works within two days
fashioned into not only the most beauti-
full creations of the stovemaker's art, but
nickled, trimmed and FURNISHED and
even crested with the carved design of
some famous sculptor. Yet that is liter
ally so.
After the iron has been broken it is
melted in the giant cupola and then
skilled artisans carry the molten metal
in great long-haudled pots to the moulds,
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-06-18

where the fiery mass is delicately poured
into the various receptacles each in itself
the reverse of the form some important
part of the stove is going to take. After
the moulding comes the grinding on en-
cry wheels, the polishing of every sepa-
rate leg and door and hinge, and finally
the assembling of the parts under the
charge of more skilled mechanics who
know to a rivet the exact quality and
form of every part in every one of the
thousand stoves that are turned out of
the Birmingham shops each year
The birmingham factories also go fur
ther than the plain manufacture of stoves
They turn out yearly great shipments of
hearths, fendersr CRATES and other fix
lures that go to every part of the world.
1t is not generally understood by the
layman that steel plays a big part in the
construction of the stove-so much so
that one department of the works is de-
voted to the workers who are kept busly
engaged in cutting from great sheets of
steel the material from which are fash
ioned the reservoirs, ovens, warming
closets and a dozen different adjuncts
with which the modern stove is equipped.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-06-18

of the entire community though in those
days the population used much more oil
prcpcrtionately for lighting and heating
purposes than at present.
Nevertheless, the little station went
ahead doing what business it got to do
and reaching out into adjacent territory
for more, and five years afterward it
was found necessary to install the first
of the storage tanks. Since that day the
oil business in Birmingham has been
going upward In leaps and bounds. Tank
cars were brought into headquarters to
be sent out on every railroad, and more
new plant on Avenue f, from which the
oil might be dispatched to the sub-sta-
tons and to the local trade through a
highly developed system Of tank wagon
deliveries, and then the company
branched out into many specialties. To-
day. as is well known, kerosene oil, which
founded the Standards business, is only
one OF half hundred of it's products used
throughout the world. Thus expanding
through its dealing In the by-products of
its oil wells and the numerous household
and industrial necessities 1t invented
from It's basic stock in trade, the Stand
ard Oil company found the south coming
to be one of its most valuable patrons,
and no part of the south more valuable

by-products are being each day further
developed and the company is constantly
putting some new product upon the mar
ket. The sales of these products through
out Alabama has become practically uni
versal and constitutes a development in
the business as great as the expansion i'll

Headquarters Moved Here

For that reason Birmingham replaced
Louisville as the headquarters for this
district and II years ago when 1t was seen
that the potentialities of this territory
were greater than any other below the
Mason and Dixon line Agent Pauley was
brought here from Cincinnati to develop
the business. How well he has succeeded
witness the fact that the Birmingham
plant is down on the books at Standard
OIL headquarterss not only as one of the
largest branches In the country, but as
the largest growing branch in any terri
tory in the south. Not only are new sub
stations throughout Alabama being con-
stantly established until the state now
has almost an even hundred, but the in
crease in the business is SO great that the
stations at Birmingham, Mobile, Mont
