Tn recounting the many phases of encouragement and approval that have gone to make The Age Herald popular and to establish 1t as the south's leading daily" none has been more potent or gen. uine than the unstinted and unfail- ing loyalty of the women.
 The women of Birmingham regard The Age-Hera1d as up-to-date, honest, generous and just, and the unanimous opinion, if census were taken, would be that The Age-Her- ald is an institution which is point ed to with pride and honor by every woman who calls this city home!
 And, after all, it is the women whose opinion counts, for to them is accorded the "home government" and whateveg they say-"goes!'
 The AgeHerald is regarded by the women of Birmingham as member of every household, and without it, they could not shop or keep up with their social duties, suffrage, theatricals. church affairs, or the news generally, and as 1t affords this and mere, it's popu- larity is unquesioned.
 Representative and prominent women are glad to give their views as to why they like to read The Age-Herald and in every instance they declare that they couldn't get along without it."
 Among those who have said in- teresting things on this subject are the following:
 MRS. w. A. CHENOWETH
 "Why do 1 like to read The Age Herald? You know there is a tra- dition that woman is most un- reasonable being and can never give a reason for anything beyond 'because;' but like many other wrong accusations, this unjust crit icism is no longer accredited, and the world is eagerly listening to the reasonable woman. In the first place, I like the early morning; 1t is hopeful of new day-the un- tried 24 hours. l like to watch the early birds and hear the little newsboys call out the wonders of The Herald. I like the begin ming of the day with a prayer that fits everyone of us; I like to read the sayings of my sister women, as each day they are trying to make a better world for us; I like the liberality of The -Hera1d--th open columns for those who would right wrongs, and understand ;nis- understandings; l like to read The Age-Herald because I believe that it will always give listening car to those who are in need, and will practice the time virtues and courtesies of kindly bearing and good will toward men,"

MISS EDNA SANDLIN

AS a business woman, I can truth fully say that The Age-Herald Is of vital importance to me. It is a great asset to a business woman to read The Age-Herald, and thus come in contact with the happenings of the day presented in a conservative, we'll written and reliable manner. The Age-Herald is as necessary to me as my breakfast I simply couldn't do without it-that's all. After reading it and informing myself each morn ing of what is going on in the world, it puts me in an attitude for the rest of the day which fits me to cope with the many propositions that come before me and which I can handle all the better after reading The Age-Herald and it's conservative comments on these subjects"

MRS. FAC P. SMITH

T enjoy beginning the day by a glimpse over The Age-Herald, the news, the editorial comments, the the daily happenings, and the special sales advertised by the merchants of Birmingham I appreciate The Age Herald because it always prints all the news especially free from sensational ism. Its editorial inducements and comments I find always conservative, tempered with good judgment and broad vision, with a constructive ten dency toward a progress in the up- building of all our local interests It's advertisements I follow, feeling sure of their merit and honesty because they do appear in The Age-Herald. In this connection I very deeply ap- preciate it's symmetry and beauty of type in detail and general makeup of the paper, and to my mind it pre- sents the most attractive appearance of any newspaper in the south.''

MRS. BURR FERGUSON

Reading The Age-Herald is a pleas ure to me because the morning daily comes at the psychological hour-when the mind and thoughts are in a recep- tive mood and ready to enjoy the news of the day. The general news, the woman's department, as well as all other departments of the paper, are well conducted and always read able. The advertisements are of es- pecial value to those of us who live at some distance from the city be- cause we can shop so much easier

MRS. LAURENs BLOCK

ITO me one of the most attractive features of The Age-Herald is it's splendid spirit of cooperation. It is always first and foremost in re- spending to anything that tends to build Birmingham up in any line of endeavor. Especially is this notice able to me in the musical affairs of the city. I consider that The Age Herald has been a tremendous factor in promoting Birmingham's musical activities, and at no time has 1t ever been other than generous with it's columns in anything that has come under my personal observation

i've never missed a years sub- soription to The Age-Herald since the early '70's, so you see I'm a pioneer reader of the paper. It is the first thing that I think of when 1 awaken in the morning, and I read it before I ever get out of bed. I am not what you might call a shopper but I read the advertisements and note them care fully, and when I need them, I always feel that they are there to be used. From the time that The Age-Herald was The Iron Age, until now I have been constant reader of it's pages and have always enjoyed reading it."

One of the reasons that I enjoy reading The Age-Herald so much is on account of the excellent Woman's De- partment it has.
