1 Industries with a total investment
 of over a half million dollars are soon 1 to begin operations in Birmingham. i The Linde Air Products company has built substantial plant near Nor-
 wood. With the machinery more than s20o,0o0 is invested in the plant, which
 tubes and other rare air products that
 are used in welding steel. The William c. Robinson 6s Son Com pany or Baltimore has just finished its plant at North Birmingham, where it will engage in supplying Birmingham with oils, gasoline and other products. The investment represented is $150.000. The Concrete Steel company, which will specialize in manufacturing steel for re- inforced concrete work, is building plant on lower First avenue. About s75,- 900 is represented in the venture The Williams & Voris Lumber company of Chattanooga has started work on it's hardwood lumber mill at Avondale. The mill will specialize in hardwood. A mod ern plant. costing more than $50O0o, will be finished within a few weeks. Birmingham's newest small industry. a hosiery mill, will begin opertions Monday, giving employment to 150 girls. It will be known as Buster Brown Mill No. of the United Hosiery Mills corporation.
 OTHER SMALL INDUSTRIES
 Other small industries are now in course of construction. At the meeting of the Chamber of Commerce Friday it was de- termined that a canning factory should be built in Birmingham This will be completed within the next six months.
 The possibilities of the Birmingham dis Itrict during the present year are un- bounded, from an industrial angle.
 The Stockham Pipe and Fittings com- pany has announced that it will bu,ld during 1917 a new unit near Gate City. More than s300,00o will be invested in this plant.
 The United States Steel corporation has promised to spend more than $10,000, LOO, provided it is allowed to retain owner- ship of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company. Within the next few weeks the supreme court is expected to hand down it's decision in regard to the matter.
 E. H. Gary. chairman of the United States Steel corporation, wrote on Feb ruary l:
 We are and have continually been making extensive Improvements at Br- mingham, to take care of immediate nec-
 essities and it is our intention to mak

cial and this has served as a setback to any plans.
 Industrial progress has always been marked in Birmingham. The last census of manufacturers in the United States was made in 1915 by the government au- thorities. While the figures were com piled in 1915, they were for business of the preceding year. These reports showed the number of establishments located in the city; capital invested money paid for services, cost of raw materials, value of manufactured products and the value add ed by manufacture.
 The compilations showed that Brming- ham ranked second among all cities hav- ing a population of 100000 or more.
 Birmingham showed 7S.S per cent in- crease in the value of manufactured prod ucts. Toledo was first with S7.9. Att lanta ranked sixteenth with an increased percentage of 25.2. This was the increase shown over the report made in 1910.
 The increase for the entire United States was F per cent
 But, if the present plans are carried to consummation, it is likely that Bir- mingham will make better record in 1920 than in 1915.

| just as the lawyer is paid for his opinion
 as to the title of the property. 1. The promotion of business between
 the agents, on the ground that it Is bet
 ter and more profitable for all parties concerned to divide a commission than
 to knock each others game and prob ably both agents lose out. Birmingham leads all the exchanges in the country, it is said, in it's weekly real estate lunches. They meet every week except Thanksgiv- ing and Christmas,
 In short, the real estate organizations, as a whole, are working on the broad
 minded principle that their selfish inter- ests can be best promoted by increasing the prosperity and happiness of their
 customers-the public.

THE ADVERTISING MANS VIEWPOINT |OF LOCAL REAL ESTATE SITUATION

There are .unquestionably opportuni- ties in both of these fields. Those who have the acumen to forecast the di- rection in which our business district will most consistently expand and the points where future industries of mag nitude must necessarily be located will be handsomely repaid for the faith which they express by their dollars.
 What the real estate market needs as well as the entire city, is spirit that will minimize the things which discourage and take a healthy satis- faction in the growth of our city which is wonderful to all who can look back for even few years and contrast the Birmingham of today with the Birmingham of yesterday Bir- mingham, like all cities, has to beat the burden of a pessimistic element in her community, but I am glad to say that this element is decreasing and a spirit of sane optimism is beginning to leaven our city. Birmingham de- serves our confidence and shouli have it.

their customers. For themselves and their own more or less selfish interests, they are trying to work out the follow ing problems:
 l. Cutting down the frightful expense of doing business, particularly in the mat ter of joy riding prospects who have no idea of buying or renting.
 ?. Running out the "curbstone' broker who pays no license, pays no office rent, and leads a parasitic existence on the efforts of the legitimate agents and brokers.
 3. Systematic appraising in the valua- tion of real estate and the charging of a reasonable compensation therefor. If the real estate mans opinion as to value is worth anything. it is worth paying for,

secretary or the NRttonai Association
 of Real Estate Boards
 One of the most notewor- thy features of American real estate during the past few years has bee the de- velopment of the real estate organizations.
 In the cities we have the real estate exchanges and boards. Most of the states are perfecting state organiza- tions, and as a head of the whole system, there has been developed the National Association of Real Estate Boards.
 The real estate associations are pri- marily trade or vocational organiza- tions, for more or less selfish purposes, just as the bankers, the hardware men, the lawyers, and the various labor organ isations are banded together to promote their own particular interests.
 It is generally agreed. however, that the real estate organizations are broader In their scope and are less selfish than any of the other trade organizations, because real estate men cannot be suc- cessful1 unless their customers are suc- cessfu Real estate is the last com modty to feel the effects of good times, so it must be a ceaseless job with the real estate organizations to try to better general conditions so that their own par ticular business may be benefited.
 For this reason the real estate men in nearly every city will be found at the forefront of nearly every civic enterprise which is for the upbuilding of their com munities, and it has well been said that they give of their time and money for civic enterprises far more in proportion than any other trade or calling.

estate have subsided leaving value to rest upon an absolutely stable foundation.
 I believe that Birmingham real es- tate is a much more desirable invest ment now than it ever has been, be- cause it's appreciation from this time forward will be natural and steady. l never expect to see another boom here but I am just as confident that pe- riod of marked activity is due in the near future and it may come much sooner than the most optimistic of us anticipate. It is my opinion that we will have comparatively little subdi- vision development for sometime to come. as subdivisions already avail able offer home builders of all classes everything they can reasonably eX- pect both in location and prices.
 I believe that the most attractive form of real estate investment in this city at present is what is known as near" business property and property located near sites that are available for large manufacturing enterprises.

My connection with the real estate market Of Birmingham has been as an advertising man and not as a deal CT CT operator
 The first advertisement ever wrote was for the Birmingham Realty com pany Is years ago and since that time l have seen some very remarkable changes in the real estate situation in Birmingham.
 It is a far cry now from the day when mass of hot air pumped into the columns of newspaper would sell subdivision lots in any old place around here faster than the gentle manly clerk in the office could take the applications. The present time real estate advertisement depends upon fact instead of fable. I prefer the sit- nation today to what it was in the old speculative times. It means the "fever' and the water" in local real

 S. The promotion of ethical dealing as between the agent and the customer and between the agents themselves. This idea is carried out in the motto of the Birmingham Real Estate exchange, which

STANDARD OIL POWER

Topeka. Kan, Oct. 25.-The Kansas
Supreme court has been asked to in
crease the power of the Standard Oil Co.
of Kansas. For many years this and the
other Standard companies in the state
have been under the supervision of the
supreme Court In all their dealings with
each other, the public and the oil men Of
the state. The supreme court has had
authority TO oust the companies. To fine
them or imprison their officers. to name
a receiver TO operate the properties, If
the companies were caught in any vio-
lations Of the Kansas antitrust laws or
the Unfair Practices Act.
The Standard oil Company of Kansas
h3s been limited tn the refining end of
the oil business. IL could produce no oil
and could not buy none except from the
Prairie oil q Gas company. II could
sell no refined products except to the
Standard of Indiana. The business of
the three companies was limited In the
state. The Prairie could only produce
and transport; the Standard OF Indiana
could do only n selling business.
The other companies do not desire a

Company only desires To be permitted to
produce oil on its own lands and buy OIL
