THINKS HIGHLY OF
 BIRMINGHAM GIRLS
GobIe Finds Them Prettier Here Than Anywhere Else
BIG IMPROV EM E N T
Birmingham Looks Better Every Time Charles Boley Sees It-New Looks Forward to Fine Season for
 H0tels-Likes Our Streets

l.. F. Goble, southern manager of the Chicago Betting company says that Bir-
 mingham has the most beautiful girls
 in the country Everyone has heard at
 sometime or other about what town or state has the best looking girls he
 said. Strange to say, I have never heard Alabama touted as a state for
 beautiful women, but here is where say a good word for the Birmin gham bel1es I believe there are more snappy,
 good looking, well dressed women in
 Birmingham than any other town of it's size In the United States.
 ''The girls in Birmingham are the natural type of beauty that one seldom sees. There isn't an abundance of make up on each face and they are all neatly dressed. Huntsville is another Ala bama town that possesses goodly number of fine looking women. It's time to boost this state as a Mecca for good looking women and I am going to be one of the boosters"
 IS LOOKING GOOD Charles Boley, southern representative of the New Jersey Spring and Rubber company, is guest at the Tutw1ler. q have been to Birmingham several times before" said Mr. Boley, "and each time notice big improvement in the city. Birmingham is one of the most progressive cities in the union and am
 always glad to get here.
 "The trend of the talk among the busi ness men I have called on while here
 has been very optimistic and they are evidently doing 8 big business. There are big crowds on the streets and every thing has the appearance of good times. With the big coal, iron and steel orders this city should have the greatest amount of business that 1t has seen in .. a number of years. Conditions all over the south seem to have improved great 1y during the past few months and in- dications are that they will be even better in the future. Everybody will have enough to fill the stockings this Christmas and I suppose Santa Claus is glad"
 EXPECTS BIG SEASON Harry B. New. manager of the Mol ton, is one of the best known hotel managers in the south. He is always optimistic and looks forward to the greatest era of prosperity Birmingham has ever had.
 '"rhe hotel business Is very good with
 me and I am of the opinion that 1t will remain so for sometime" said MT. New Birmingham has 8 number of good hostelries and the travelling public knows it. Nothing adds to city like good hotel accommodations and they are as necessary as good stores. Many peo- pie from the north and east are stopping over in this district and I think Bir- mingham will get large share of tho eastern tourist business this winter. Birmingham has & delightful climate and there Is no reason why we should not get some of the tourists from the colder sections"
 STREETS ARE FINE A. B. Doty of the Prince of Pilsen company is stopping at the Motion He was impressed with the broad streets and the lighting in the business dis trict If every small city in its infancy | realized the necessity of broad streets. as Birmingham evidently did when shs was little more than hamlet, all tho cities in the country would be much more attractive" he said This city is
 fortunate in having wide streets, good street lighting and attractive stores and theatres. Birmingham is well known | throughout the country and is thought
 favorably of everywhere
 'I think the sight of the big furnaces burning brightly at night is wonderful. guess the citizens of this city like to
 see these things better than the traveller coming into town on the train who sees
 them for the first time and admires
 them for their beauty. Every curl of
 smoke and every time the furnaces make
 a run adds to the material wealth of this district, I am told, hence the in
 habitants can enjoy the sight of grimy
 atmosphere and fiery tongues of flame at night to better advantage than can.
 I like Birmingham, and I suppose there are lot more in my class of the same | opinion
 I A BIRMINGHAM BOOSTER l c. A. Benjamine, southern representa-
 tive of the Emerson Shoe company. is
 one of the most enthusiastic Birming-
 ham boosters making this territory. He 1 is very keen on sizing up a city and its
 people and makes study of the devel- | opment of the towns in the south par
 ticularly You need not worry about the growth of this city," said MT. Benjamine. Tt
 is sure to go beyond all expectations
 when the government census is taken in 1920 I would not be surprised to see that there were more than 50O,0O0 in
 habitants in this district then. The city l Is we'll known nationally and keeps pace with all the improvements and new ideas l of the other metropolises of the United l States Its enormous natural wealth, coupled with population of inteni- gent inhabitants, makes it's progress a | certainty. It isn't foolish statement l to say that Birmingham is on her way
 to the 500,000 mark in population and most people know it''
 REALTY MARKET BETTER | 'The real estate market in Birming- ham is improving said Garland Mourn | ing of the Tarrant Realty company. While there has not been a dearth of sales recently. there has haan a nllrn-
