| One would think judging from the volume of business done by the market men before Christmas, that everything ! good had been eaten up by this time. But trip among the retail marketmen and grocers yesterday opened my eyes The displays laid out for Saturday shop pers was fine. A good amount of all l staples was to be seen. with all the side lines and trimmings to set off a Sunday meal.
 l Glance over the list of live wires on this Market Page this morning. You will profit by so doing:

 1 Oh, you Piggly Wiggly! Everybody and their kinfolks are talking about this new innovation, where you wait on yourself and save big per cent on your pur- chase. It's something new in Birmingham but 1t is here to stay. Read over the Piggly Wiggly ad this morning and then go round and wait on yourself. It's more fur than feeding peanuts to the elephant at circus The location is Fourth ave- nue, next to Fowlkes & Myatt. # # F
 My young friend Holzer tells me he enjoyed his full share of the holiday trade. And why not? If you had seen the layout of western meats, dressed ducks, geese and other poultry you would not be surprised at the big business he enjoyed The delicatessen department of this popular market is the best in the south. Arnold Bros goods are handled exclusively. This alone guarantees the best. Read over the Holzer ad very carefully this morning. Note. the listed bargains offered, and then go and see for yourself.
 Newmon & Co. played an important part in feeding Birmingham the past week, and are on deck again today With an entirely new stock of meats poultry and other delcacies that make up the menu of a first-class market. My friend Newmon tries to please everybody, and very few mistakes he makes in the meat line. For if Newmon don't know good stuff when he sees it in the whole sale houses, nobody does. Let this pop ular firm fill your basket today. Just across from the postoffice, you know. # * #
 The Peerless Market and Grocery Go. is with us again this morning with a
 
 down your expense account, take a bas- ket on your arm and drop in and look over the bargains offered today. Read the ad on this page first Competition Of the hottest kind suits my young friend McIntire, and the closer he can cut the better it suits him. Everything is fresh and clean for today's trade and early shoppers will get the pick. You can find in this place both groceries and a general market line of eats < # #
 V. w. Wood Ss Co. sold groceries by the carload for Christmas, but are again stocked up for Sunday and the New Year trade They encourage buying in bulk, as this cuts the cost of living. They deal directly with the farmer and cut out the middlemen's profit. Read over the list and prices they are offering for to- days shoppers. Don't forget the loca- tion--upper Second avenue at Twenty fourth street-outside the high-rent sec ton.
 The Mercantile Supply Co. is not very old when it comes to years in business, but the busy bunch in charge of this general supply store makes up for any thing missing. They are all old heads at the mercantile game. Their stock of goods Is fresh and great deal of their produce is bought from the farmer direct Drop in and try their country syrup country eggs, poultry. hams. etc. Take big basket and buy in bulk; they'll save you money Everybody works in this es- tablishment, even the main boss himself.

 And while strolling around today don't forget my friends the Catanzano Bros They enjoyed a big Christmas business and are in the ring for today's buyers stopped and took look at their many fresh vegetables, poultry, fish and other delicacies yesterday, and I must ac- knowledge. the layout could not be beaten in town If it's an appetite you want to work up, just a glance at their display will sharpen it.
