COAL WASHERS SOLD STRICTLY ON MERIT Montgomery COrcern Makes Enviable Record for
 Five Years

The Montgomery Coal Washing and Manufacturing company sells it's product strictly on its merits and, judging from the numerous letters of commendation in the possession of MT. Montgomerv. there is large demand for the washer. In the past five years the Montgomery company has installed three-fourths of the coal washing plants in use in Ala bama. During that time 26 new mines have been opened and the Montgomery company secured the contract for the in- staliation of coal washers at 22 of them
 MT Montgomery says the policy of his company is to satisfy the customer and ne never considers a sale complete until the customer is satisfied with theA trade The company has been in business but little more than five years, but the prod uct IS known throughout the United States The state of Washington has in use one of the washers in it's university Tor the instruction of students Tn the minlhg department. MT. Montgomery says he has recently had inquiries from Japan in regard to his washer and he ex- poets to do good business in the western states this year.

BIRMINGHAM GOOD FIELD FOR SMALL MANUFACTURES
 -FELLHEIMER Salesman Says There Should Be Many Small Plants in Birmingham-Market
 Goods Here
By ELLIS c. HOLLUMs

That there is a fertile field ill Birming-
 ham for small manufacturers is the opin-
 ion of S. Fellheimer, who travels north
 Alabama for Markstein Bros. Millinery company. MT. Fellheimer says there is a market there of sufficient size to war rant the establishment in Birmingham of cloak and suit manufacturers or plant for the manufacture of house dresses, aprons etc.
 There is no reason why there should not be many small manufacturers in Birmingham" said Mir Fellheimer. "The field here is broad and competition in cer- tain lines is not keen. There should be many small plants here for the manu- fracture of wearing apparel. In fact, happen to know of one plant fully fitted for the manufacture of house dresses and 9 aprons, which, if someone with little capital were to get behind it, would pay handsome dividends. Why, there is al- most enough people in Birmingham who would buy 'made-at-home' product to justify the operation of the plant.
 Tn regard to business. believe we will see more orders this spring than the last three months would indicate as being possible. There is a good sentiment among business men and I look for a good spring trade. One thing which will contribute to good trade Is the fact that merchants have been buying just as lt- tie as possible, waiting until the begin- ming of the year to see how their balance sheets show up. They will begin to buy now. conservatively, it is true, but enough to make business much better"

 Fred Scheuing came from Mobile but you'd never suspect it look at him. He is noted for his hard work and his long memory. He knows to the minute just when every order the firm shipped last year was made. He has charge of the shipping department and, therefore is a part of the sales department, for the company's policy does not admit that 2 sale is made when the order is secured MT. Scheuing studies the pecu- liarities of the customer and makes 1t point to so send the goods that they meet the approval of the customer
