Out-Of-TOwn Trade
 For Week Amounts
 To Over $95, ,OO0

The rebate figures for last week, com piled by Miss Julia Bessiere of the BusI- ness Mems League, show that purchases amounting to $95,57736 were made in Bir- mingham during the week. The amount paid back to out-of-town buyers amount ed to s251O.S9. This Is considered a re- markably good showing, in view of the fact that there was nothing of unusual interest in the city last week.
 rough estimate of the rebate figures made yesterday shows that during the last eight weeks, the rebates have amount ed to about one-fourth of the money re- bated during the whole of 1913 It is believed that the money spent in Blr- mingham by out-of-town shoppers this year will easily double that of last year. and it may go even higher, according to Miss Bessiere.
