The soft drink industry is growing at leaps and bounds. New records are be- ing made every season. Just think of what Sid Lee has done in a short time with his famous drink, Buffalo Rock Ginger Ale"
 l recently went through his big plant on First avenue and was astonished at it's size, and it's up-to-date equipment. The very latest machinery is in use and everything that makes for cleanliness is employed. No one drinking a bottle Of Buffalo Rock Ginger Ale need have any fear that anything was left undone to make it absolutely pure and clean. To a visitor it seems they are bit too par tcular.

his wife told me to look around and let the place speak for itself. And it did.
 Everything was arranged in a neat
 manner The oranges, apples and lemons were run up in piles like cannon balls on the battlefield.
 And the way this place is run makes one feel good. A customer hardly gets time to light before a clerk has a bag in his hand, and asks, What is it., please" If it's service and quality you want, here it is This hustling young man also handles fish, oysters and all kinds of fresh vegetables. This is a san- itary market; otherwise it would not be ir front of the Hozer store.
 USE FRONT DISPLAY One door further up the street is the produce store of Catanzano Bros This market tries to always have on hand a little of everything that the market af- fords. They keep a nice front display, but never allow anything to look old and uninviting. A cold storage plant in the rear takes care of all surplus they have, and just enough is displayed in front to give an idea of the good things in the rear.
 If the housewife wants tempting article that cant be found at any other market, the chances are that telephone call to Catanzano Bros. will bring the article to her door, Poultry, fish, berries and vegetables are the specialties carried by these brothers.
 BUSY PLACE
 Going from here to Tanner Bros I was kept waiting some time before T. B. | Tanner, the advertising member of the firm could be approached. These brothers all work and attend strictly to business. Hence the delay in getting in a word with my friend, "T. B." MT. Tanner is general manager of the new Birmng- ham Canning and Marketing company. and so busy is he with this new and growing institution that it is hard to get a line on him at any time. How ever, he took time to tell me business was the best--it pays to advertise in other words All the meat cutters were busy, the vegetable department was crowded and the delicatessen department busy slicing up prepared meats, sausages. salads and other prepared deicacies. If your appetite is failing, drop in at this delieatessen department of Tanner Bros, and tell them to fix you up a Dutch lunch Sit right down at the table there and eat. And if you don't feel so good that you will order one sent out to your mother-in-law, well-Ill pay for the meal. that's all.
 And the best part of it is that this de- partment is open Sunday where the tired mother or wife may get something for Sundays dinner or supper
 These Tanner brothers are on the job every day of the week. They oversee their

UPPER SECOND AVENUE

I went to upper Second avenue the avenue that Beuhler Bros. made famous when they opened the popular meat mar ket here a few years ago. Before that time upper Second avenue was dead as far as markets were concerned. But it's OF the map now And to Buehler Bros. goes the credit for it. Well do I remem- Der the day this market opened. The waiting line extended out as far as the curbstone. The firm spent money in ad- vertising their cut-price market. and if anyone doubts that it pays to advertise, they should have seen the results that opening day. But say. that's several years ago, and Buehler's is as popular now as then. The crowd was two-deep along the counters, and the choicest of cuts were spread before them.
 Harry Rich, the genial manager of this popular house. stood by with a pleased looked on his face evidently content with the amount of cash passing over the desk.
 Anything in the meat poultry. fish. oys- ter or vegetables line can always be found at Ruehler BrOS

TEA AND COFFEE STORE

Coming back down Second avenue T en- tered the c. D. Kenny Co., tea and cof- fee house. A hearty handshake by H. s. Brumback, the manager, made me feel at home.
 Think of anything to say2" I asked MT Brumback. Most too busy to think was the answer However you might say we are the largest sugar deal- CTS in the United States, handling a car load day here in Birmingham. We have about 100 branch stores scattered over the country. Our Special Blend coffee at 2 cents per pound is the best on the mar ket. And then there is Cheyon tea. After you use it once, you'll come back to Kennys. Our head rice four pounds for 25 cents, is a drawing card.

OAKS FROM ACORNS

Everyone has heard the tale of the giant oak sprnging from the little acorn. Well, this is the way the Hill Grocery company has spread out. Only instead of one giant concern, it has developed into 10 high-class grocery stores, scattered all over Greater Birmingham. And if the service, quality and prices given by this enterprising concern were not bargains, this big and quick growth would not have taken place. Leading off the ad of the Hill Grocery company in Saturdays Age-Herald was the sentence, Where quality is highest and prices are lowest" This is long story cut down to one sentence full of meaning.
 The one noticeable feature in these 10 stores is the courteous treatment of the many clerks. Nothing is too good for the patrons And they deliver the goods as promised-on the minute. No time lost here
 It makes no difference whether you are rich or poor-the same price for all at Hills. The secret of Mir. Hills success lies in his close buying and close selling, thus turning over his money often and giving his customers the benefit of cash buying.
 I believe it will pay the many Age Her aid readers to get in touch with this | themselves with the prices.
 The success of the Hill Grocery com pany can be traced to two things-fair business dealings to all and advertising. That's why MT. Hill placed the many cut prices in the big ad in Saturdays Age- Herald. He wanted the large trade he enjoyed as the result.
 DID WISE THING
 Fowlkes & Myatt did a wise thing when they took space on the market page yes- terday. Many readers did not know this firm specialized in delicatessen. Every body knew that their store was one of the handsomest in the south, and that anything to be found in a high-class grocery store could be found here, but 1t rays to use printers ink occasionally and spring something new.
 "Our line embraces beef liver, goose liver, frankfurter, salami, landjaeger sausages corned beef halibut, smoked tongue baked ham and other good things"
 And all these good things come by ex- press from Milwaukee, that town made famous by-but I might violate the prohi- bition law if I finsh this sentence. Drop into Fowlkes & Myatt Co.,, 2014 Fourth avenue, and sharpen up your appetite.
 Does it pay to advertise on this satur- day market page? Ask the merchants who use space. Don't take my word.

 "We carry only the best grades of meat" said MT. Tanner. We find it's the cheapest in the long run. Besides we sell so close that it is easy to compete with markets that handle seconds I was so busy organizing branch canning plants this week that I almost overlooked the ad for Saturdays paper. But it was in alright and we are satisfied with the re- suits. Excuse me. but I'm losing money while talking. Look around and make yourself at home"

ON TWENTIETH STREET

Down opposite the l.. & N. depot at 5 North Twentieth street. is located one Of the cleanest and most up-to-date mar kets in the city-the Noue-Such Market company. This is an ideal little place. Nicely arrayed were the meats and poul- try, and each employe was clothed in white aprons and caps.
 On the other side of the store was the fish and oyster department. The display here was one of the best to be seen. the Spanish mackerel being especially tempt ing. Don't forget this loca ton-just across from the l.. x N. depot on Twen- tieth street

She was wise enough to know that the Saturday advertisers marked their stuff down so as to draw trade and new GUS toners. And she took advantage of it, tco.
 So I thought there was a good Sunday morning story in that aforesaid page and self. The crowds encountered verified any offhand claims that might be made.
 COLD RECEPTION
 The coldest reception handed me was at IIolzers Spotless Market. The handshake of my friend, A. Holzer, was alright, but when he ushered me into that enormous cold-storage plant of his, the whole thing looked like a frost to me. At any rate. we came out alive, and my only re- gret was that it was not the middle of July, so the pleasure would have been greater. This spotless market is a model in cleanliness, So is the inside of the cold storage plant. Everything was white and nothing touched the floor. Every thing was covered and the sawdust on the floor looked as it does at the saw mill-tresh and sweet
 MT. Holzer did not have much to say up to this time. q want this market to Go it's own taking" said he Most every Dercnant likes to toOt his own horn. But my hobby is cleanliness, and think my customers will agree with me that go the limit in trying to make it invit- ing.
 Come over into the Delicatessen de- partment. Take a look on the inside of of our cooling plant here. Each variety Of meat, sausage and cheese has a com- partment of it's own, thus keeping the scent away from other stuff We carry about 50 varieties of sausages and pre- pared meats in this department. It is the output of the famous Arnold Bros. of Chicago, who l claim to be pastmas- ters in their line. Look around and see what that ad in this mornings paper did for me" And the crowd was there The paper with the pull had made good
 Holzer was called away to attend to some business, and turned around and faced my friend Sig Levy, who is in charge of the delicatessen department. Sig has one of those smiles that never comes off. and with his white cap cooked on one side, he is ever ready to serve. He don't have much trouble in selling, for he has everything mentioned in the encyclo- redia to offer to his customers.

The Eureka Land & Live Stock
Company lost its corrals, platforms
and shearing pens at Oak Station
again last Saturday afternoon when
the whole outfit was destroyed by
fire. Assessor w. j. Hooper and his
son, Richard, were coming up the
valley and saw the blaze soon after
it started. They made a quick run
with their auto in the hope of being
able to put the fire out or save some
of the property. but found that it
had gained too much Roadway and
nothing could be done. This COM
pany lost some $50. 900 worth of
wool a few years ago by fire at Oak
Station, but fortunately the wool had
been shipped away this year and the
only damage done was to the shear

May Weather

The Weather Bureau of the U. S.
Department of Agriculture. Nevada
Section, reports in its general sum-
mary that May was the eighth con-
secutive month with the mean tenn
perature below normal in Nevada,
and there have been only three cold
err Mays in the last 20 years. Killing
frosts we're general on the 10Th, ex-
cept in the extreme south portion
where no frosts occurred during the
month. The precipitation was heavy
in practically all sections of the State,
and averaged slightly more than
double the normal.
The greatest fall during May was
at Lamoille, Elko County, where
$40 inches fell during the month;
Eureka comes next with a precipita-
ton of 5.73 inches; the least was 0.05
inch at Oasis Ranch.
While the persistence of cool wealth
er caused all vegetation to be back
ward, this unfavorable condition was
offset to some extent by the benefi-
cial showers which fell at frequent
intervals and put the soil in excel
lent condition for growing crops. At
the close of the month Winter wheat,
Spring grains. alfalfa. early potatoes.
sugar-beets, fruit and garden truck
were in a thriving condition, al
though they were reported to be
about three weeks later than usual.
There was an increased acreage of
all important crops. Ranges. pas
lures. and meadows were in excellent
condition. Stock was improving in
all sections, and with the exception
of a few localities. cattle and sheep
were reported to be in good condi-
ton at the end of the month. There
will be an ample supply of water

THE LYNN BIG SIX
New Milling Plant in Northern Eureka
County Working Most Successfully

Salt Lake Mining Review: N. j..
Nelson of Riverton, Utah. one Of
the big stockholders of the Lynn Big
Six Mining Company operating
at Goldville, Eureka County,
Nevada, who returned the first OF
the month from a visit of inspection
to the company's property, reports
that he is much pleased with the
operation of the mine and mill. and
that he is fully satisfied as to the ul-
innate success of this enterprise.
Mr.. Nelson states that the new
milling plant, which at the time of
his visit had been in commission for
a period of two weeks. was working
most satisfactorily with a high ex-
traction of values being recorded.
The mill is now running on ore going
from SIS to $50 in gold to the ton.
This is termed low grade. and ore
averaging as high as $50 to the ton
will be u through the mill.
This ore comes from an 8-foot
ledge, from which values as high as
1920 to the ton are being taken. At
the present time an 18-inch streak in
the vein is averaging $3.50 in gold,
the balance of the lode being an ex-
cellent milling product. Fred Buick
is mill superintendent and is securing
most gratifying results.
At the present time Mine Superin-
tendent w. w. Ruby is giving en-
ployment to a force of ten men and,
by the time the next issue of The
Mining Review goes to press a night
shift will be put on.
A number of prominent Salt Lake
people are interested in the Lynn
Big Six, and they are highly elated
over the favorable reports being re-
ceived from the company's property.

ing Aqueduct Near Hamilton

INK <AQuCouCk ANCdh
White Pine News: John Signo-
relli. a pioneer resident of Hamilton,
was held to await the action of the
district court last Monday. the speci-
fic charge against the d~efendent be-
ing the destruction of an aqueduct
used to convey water for mining
purposes in the immediate vicinity of
the old mining camp.
The accused was arrested on COM
plant of John Russell. The pipe had
been twisted out of the ground.
Suspicion was at once directed at
Signorelli, as tracks lead from that
neighborhood to his cabin.
When the taking of testimony was
concluded, Justice Collins decided
that sufficient evidence had been in
PRODUCED to hold the defendant to
the district court. Bond was fixed
at $500 in default of which Signo-
relli was remanded to the custody of
the sheriff.
Signorelli testified at the prelim-
mary hearing. He stated that he
had broken the pipe for a purpose,
claiming that the aqueduct was on q
portion of his mining claims.
Attorney Charles A. Walker also
testified. He declared that he had
never given any individual the right
to use any portion of the water.
