Birmingham citizens will be well served during the coming year in the matter of food. Morris avenue brokers yesterday promised the best of service during 1s15 and indicated that additional facilities would be added to care for the large Increase in trade expected during the next 12 months. Among the expressions on the subject yesterday were the fol- lowing:
 W. A. Bishop of Steel City Produce company: Business in my line for the past year has been quite good, and for this we are truly thankful. We handle Florida fruits extensively, and the de- n,and for this line has been extraordi- nary during the recent holiday rush. We took care of this trade to the best of our ability, but during the coming year we hope to do even a greater business and to increase the efficiency of our service"
 Eat Vegetables, Says Bell
 C. F. Bell: During 1914 my concern has certainly handled an enormous vol rme of business-even greater than that of the year before. Values, however, have been greatly reduced in the pro- duce and fruit line, and the indications are that prices will continue low during the coming year. The increased volume oe business has naturally taxed our sales organization and delivery service for the past few months, and for the past 10 days the pressure has been exceedingly great.
 we appreciate fully the confidence riaced in this concern by numerous cus- toners, and have resolved that during the coming year no opportunity to be Of public service will be overlooked, and that facilities for acquiring, selling and delivering merchandise will be brought up tc the highest standard practicable. In tlis connection it would perhaps, be an excellent idea for people who wish to economiZe to resolve to investigate fully the low prices prevailing on lruits and produce of all kinds Judicious purchases in this line would doubtless prove a great saving in household expenditures Cuota tions on some staple vegetables are TOW reduced fully 40 per cent and these low prices will in all probability con tinue in effect for long time to come. The vegetarian can now 9ssuredly live with expenses cut to the minimum"
 MT Taylor of the Taylor x Wheeler Grocery Company: We have had no req son to complain of this years business, but trust that the change in conditions in the Birmingham district during the coming year will be very much for the better. We have resolved to give the best service possible to our customers during the coming year, and no oppor- tunty for improvement will be over looked. We look forward to an excellent business during 1915.''
