ATLAS TIRE COMPANY
HAS BIC BUSINESS
E. c. Mcdonald, the Local
Branch Manager, Talks
About Prospects

The Atlas Tire company, 4& South
Twentieth street, dealers In what is COM
mercially known as seconds in the tire
market, have had an unusual week, in
sofar as tire sales are concerned.
e. C. Mcdonald, local branch manager,
in speaking of the success of the latest
branch of the Atlas company said: Dir
mingham has clearly demonstrated that it
is willing to patronize concern that is
capable of producing the right sort of
goods at the right prices.
1.-THE local branch of the Atlas company
is the tenth in the United States. We
are the largest buyers of seconds in
1.-THE country. The tires that we purchase
are not the sort that are guaranteed by
the makers. We do not wish to sail I'M
der false colors, nor do we want to de-
4 ceive the public. We sell the standard
makes of tires that are not quite up to
the standard on account of some trifiing
defect.
1T very often occurs that tire that
is defective according to the official in
spector of a large factory is capable of
going the guaranteed distance. We do
not guarantee these seconds but we do
sell them at such a greatly reduced price
that it pays the purchaser to do business
with u.s.

LOCAL BATTERIES
MAKE FINE SHOWING

Douglas, Ariz., November 4-(Speclal }
Saturday finished up very brilliant
week for the Alabama artillery on the
Mexican border Batteries A and C have
gone forward during this past week with
a rapidity and thoroughness that mas
been surprising and very satisfying to
Instructor Captain Hammond.
The men of both batteries have gone
into the work full of energy They are
trying hard to make faster progress than
any other battery during their stay on
the border, and Captain Hammond thinks
well of the ambition and chances. Both
batteries have reached battery drill at a
trot. Battery C was carried about a mile
from camp on Friday morning and were
left while the battery commander and
his escort rode away The order came
back and the battery went forward at
trot across the plains. Signals and
orders were flying fast and the order
for action was given. At the command
the battery executed the movement IN a
manner that was very creditable. 1t was
the first taste of what action under fire
would be like, and the men were over
joyed at their work
Saturday morning saw the regular
weekly inspection mounted and under
heavy marching order. The inspection
was made by Captain Hammond, who
passed high compliments ON Battery Z.
in saying that their stables, gun park
and battery street was better than any
militia batteries that had been stationed
here. Monday morning the batteries will
be inspected, and Captain Hammond has
promised that the battery making the
best showing will go first to sub-caliber
practice. This has created a friendly
rivalry between the two batteries, and
each is hoping to win the honors.

All things being equal, Birmingham is
the best automobile town in the south.
There is no getting around the fact that
this city has live bunch of automobile
men.
The best part about the whole PROPOSE
ton is that there are few cities that boast
of the caliber of men that are employed
moguls, otherwise known as the dealers,
are pretty crafty lot themselves. but
it is we'll known fact that the smartest
dealer in Christendom cannot make car
"go" unless he has live crowd Of ag-
gressive statesmen that are willing to go
cut and fight for the business.
The crowd that is at present in the
ranks in Birmingham is the type that
tends to make one brag about what we
have in Birmingham. The most pessl-
inistic dealer cannot get away from the
fact that there are more real automobile
statesmen that possess brains plus In Bir-
mignham than any other city in tho
south. 1t takes >brains to sell cars--it
does not matter what inscription the
name plate bears-it takes brains and mer-
it, from a salesmanship standpoint. to put
them over. They do it here every week,
every day, and they are real crowd OF
ZEAL fellows.
Whether or not the dealers of this city
know 1t, the fact remains that If Biz
mngham did not have the sort of crowd
it has at present in the automobile game
there would u less than half the number
of gasoline buggies on the streets today.
Alabama won the game and from all
that could be heard and listened to, most
of the bubble busters were on the right
side. All of which means gerat fountains
of joy and quantities of oil and gasoline
will be expended within the next week.
There is a real fellow in town named
Dunning. He is the southern represen-
tative for the Anderson Six. 1t is q real
car and capable, of performing stunts
that will make the most casual observer
sit up and take notice. Two statesmen
of ability have taken the Anderson in
charge, they are! Carr and Conner. these
names speak for;themselves.

to attend the meeting November 20 his
secretary, Claude Williford, will come to
Birmingham before the date of the meet
ing, bringing with him maps showing the
natural resources as related to prepared
ness in time of peace and war.
These maps were prepared under the

Plans for the meeting will be started
Immediately, according to Dr. finder, and
no stone will be left unturned to make
it a success.
First of ALL said DR.. finder, 1--WE
want to get the people interested in this
work. To my mind it will be the great
est thing that has ever happened for the
south. In the Tennessee river $4,000
horsepower can be harnessed; the gov
eminent can by means of this wonder
full power supply our country with cheap
fertilizer that will solve to large ex-
tent our agricultural difficulties. In adj
dition we will be prepared for war, and
the state will be supplied with electric
power.
I'm addition to the $20,0O0.0O0 appropri-
ated for the nitrate provision of
the military bill to cover the building of
a dam, power house development and
nitrate acid plant there will be expended
about s25,000,0O0 for q fertilizer factory,
which will consume in times of peace the
power developed.
