 Recalls Trip in 1889
 T used to be closely connected with the Birmingham district. I sold the first iron made at the DeBardeleben furnaces and was interested here for many Years. The change in the city and district since then Is almost unbelievable. remember of a trip here in 1889 when there was only one hotel. l went up to room, and oh. that room It was actually dirty and in bed over to one side was some man asleep. | didn't know whether he was giong to inur- der me or me murder him before morning. And when I walked into your modern hotels here today l thought of that other trip I made here years ago. The story of Birmingham would be hard to believe f man didn't know it was true"
