OTHER SIDE OF THE PICTURE

But whatever falling off in business ana industry may have been occa- stoned by readjustment necessities, nevertheless there seems to be no doubt that the securities market has begun to discount the approval of every great prosperity. When trans actions in securities reach million shares a day, not merely once but in ~ consecutive days. as has been the case, then it is to be presumed that the public is coming in and that pro- fessional trading such as characterized the early months of the year has in great measure ended. If the securities market is to be relied upon, then it is forecasting a wonderful era of pros- perity.

Hu Important Announcement

Offices Just Opened in Birmingham by J. D. Stein hart Co.,. Fiscal Agents as Southern Represents tives of the American Rubber Company, of Chi cago, Which, After Manufacturing Raincoats for Nearly Seven Years Tas recently Brought Out Superior Line of Tires and Tubes for Automobiles and Motor Trucks
The Birmingham age-herald., 1919-05-05

An item of current busniess intelligence which it proper to place permanent record in the columns of this paper is to the effect that J. D. Steinhar Co.,. Fiscal Agents have just opened offices in the American Trust Building Brmng gham, to act Southern representatives of the American Rubber Company of Chicago.
 This is corporation which for nearly seven years has been engaged in the production of the well known B. K. L." raincoats and other rubberlzed clothing, and which has several thousand merchants throughout the entire country handling these goods Recently the company has had it's experts experi- mentng auto tires and tubes and have brought out line thereof which actual tests show to be superior to most other makes on the market, and to jus tify guarantee of 5000 miles. These the company have named the 'MASTERBILT'' tires and tubes
 The company was formerly capitalized at $95,0OO, but realizing the possibilities of it's tire and tube department and with view also to enarging the output of rancOats the capital has been increased to $1O00O00 in shares of the par value of $1O each all common stock, fully paid and on-essessabe. There neither preferred shares nor bonds to take the cream of the earnings. This stock Stenhart & Co. are now dspOsng of in novel and effective ner at par to automobile and truck in this ter rtory That Is to say, every stockholder has issued to him, certificate which enables him to secure discount of B 3 per cent from list prices all pur- chases of "MASTERBHT' tires and tubes. The firm appoints one dealer iii each community, who must be stockholder and who has the exclusive agency for the company's products in his territory making his
 
 is cut out altogether
 As may be supposed, this plan is meeting with great success, and the stock is being taken up rapidly by auto and truck owners who not only get their tires and tubes at great reduction but who will also share in the handsome dividends which the company will undoubtedly well benefiting by the rapid hancement in the value of their shares The history of the tire business shows that tremendous returns have been received by the original investors in the stock of the principal companies, and it would that this company is destined to repeat such successes.
 It should be borne in mind that this is not terprise but well-established concern, with profit able connections all the country In other words this is thoroughly legitimate business pro position not to be confounded for moment with the average stock-selling concern.
 Mr. Steinhart has been resident of this state for long time and is we'll and favorably known.
 It may be added that much of the stock is being taken by investors who not owners of autos or trucks but who can see the great money-making ca pabilties of the undertaking and the practical cer- tainty of handsome dividends to say nothing of the advance in market quotations for the stock"

VICTORY LOAN AND MONEY

week or the Victory Loan did not bring
 results which Secretary Glass, the gov
 ernors of the Federal Reserve banks
 and other financial leaders looked for.
 But whatever the cause, it is not to
 De attributed to lack of funds. The
 savings banks, in New York and. as
 We hear those in other parts of the
 country, are receiving deposits in such amounts as may possibly cause serious
 embarrassment, because surplus must
 be maintained and increased in propor- ton to the deposits. It requires some
 time to build up surplus.
 l Some have thought that the depart ure of so many thousands working
 men who have taken with them to their I native lands across the sea an amount
 of money which in the aggregate is very large must have caused heavy withdrawals from the savings banks
 But the president of one of the largest :, savings banks in New York said this
 morning that although withdrawals were somewhat heavy they were more
 than offset by the steady increase in l deposits.
 l The people have money enough not
 only to indulge in luxuries, but also | to use some portion of their earnings in paying for Victory notes. There is l no doubt that before the time fixed 1 for the floating of the loan is ended popular subscriptions will be made in l proportionately as great amount as l were those which caused the Fourth
 Liberty Loan offering to meet an amaz- 1 ing success.
 SUBSCRIPTIONS NOT REPORTED The authorized statement from Washington of the aggregate subscrip-
 tions in the first week of the Liberty Loan campaign does not contain
 very large volume of subscriptions which have not been reported to the government. Many of the clubs of New York have aided the government in selling these notes but the returns from
 them have not yet Been made public In one day subscriptions for nearly five
 hundred thousands dollars for the Vic tory notes were made by members of one of the oldest of the New York clubs
 So also other subscriptions have not been reported and it is believed that the aggregate of the unreported sub scriptions is very large.
 AFTER THE LOAN CAMPAIGN When the selling campaign for Vic i tory notes has ended and the four bill lions five hundred million dollars is
 in the hands of the government, either in whole or in part through install
 ment subscriptions, then one factor which it was presumed might delay large financing of a kind which indus
 tries require in order to meet new con-
 ditions will be out of the way.
 It is possible to announce at the time
 Secretary Glass informs the public that the Victory Loan has been subscribed.
 and possibly overscbscribed, that the treaty of peace has been signed. with strong presumption that the United States Senate will ratify it. then per- haps the most important factor which has caused delay in the coming of great prosperity win have been removed. Almost invariably the men who have charge of large financing and who have few moments to spare to those who seek them in their offices for informa- tion state that with the Victory Loan out of the way and with peace defi- nitely established there stands almost ! nothing In tho vsy Of the quick de-
