 Out of curiosity last Saturday I took stroll by the stores and places of busi- ness of the advertisers who use this Sat urday market page to see what was do- ing" in a business way.
 Some business! That sums up the whole bunch. All hands were on deck busy as bees. It evidently pays this lot of live wire merchants to advertise. Consum- CTS are beginning to see the value of newspaper ink on Saturday morning. It's a saving to them in several ways-time, money, shoe leather, and last but not least worry. Oh. the worry that rest day dinner used to cause! But no more
 We have all heard of that famous church in New York city where many good and down and out actor has the :, last sacred words read over his body the Little Church Around the Corner" It was made famous by the actors of the country using this little edifice for their own But this has nothing to do with the little Pure Food Grocery Go. around the corner at 102 North Twenty-second street You will receive just as kind and con- l siderate attention here as the actors do at the little church. This store is not large in size, but creates a big noise In the way of cheap prices. Rent is cheap here, thus allowing small profits and quick sales Drop in and give them trial and be convinced.
 West End was taken with the Market Page fever last week and has not re- covered yet This is the cause of J. w. McKelvey having another word to the consuming public in the way of an ad this morning. And we don't think MT! Mo- Kevey will be sorry he started his trial ad on this market page The prices he offered last week took his competitors by storm He has a comeback this week, and his telephone-West End A. will be tingling all day today recording orders from the hundreds of readers of The parts of Birmingham, for that matter, as they did last week. Two hundred dol lars in new cash business was his re- ward from the first ad. Look at his spe- ciaIs today.
 The top O the mornin' to the Peerless us. They ought to be every week. The large stock of groceries and meats they carry should be known to every house. wife. Did you ever pass this cut-price market on Saturday and Saturday night? Well, if. you didn't, and want to see a crowd fighting at the counter to be waited on, just go round and join it. The prices are what does the trick. My young friend McIntire, who operates this up-to-the minute place, is a genial fellow-always has a smile and greeting for his GUS toners, no difference whether they buy dimes worth of "winnies'' or 75-cent cut of steak
 F1yless! That's the most pleasing thing | you can say to my young friend Holzer
 
 And the choice and best cuts of meats is still another hobby of. this young busi- ness man. Everything runs like clock work at this market The same has been the case for years and years. knew his father well--bought good meat from, him when first I started keeping house In Birmingham l5 years ago. This young i,, l.s fa ft><, ,s<, footsteps-strctly business, and clean business at that. The housewife must | see this market to appreciate cleanliness It's worth trip to look through it, even if you don't spend any money. But you will once you get inside.
 Talk about hustler! This young fell | low James A. Norriss is surely one. His | place of business is in front of the Holzer [ market. If he didn't run first-class | fruit and vegetable stand he couldn't stay | in front of the Holzer place. The | flies would be bad And if you want a | choice display to select from just ride up | -or walk-in front of his place and look | over his display. He buys great deal of his stuff direct thus cutting out the | middleman and giving the public the | benefit of cheap prices. His fish depart | ment is inviting also. What Norriss hasn't | on sale is not in the market-that's all.
 Just tell the good people we are the busiest brothers in Birmingham all the week. and on Saturday. we'll hate to
