GOOD GOOBER CANDY

been cracked or broken off on this good
 old southern product. We'll the Jo-Peanut
 Products company, 23B Third avenue, has
 been making an extra grade of this sweet
 for over three years. M L. Falk, man.
 ager, informs me they also make peanut
 butter sandwiches on sale at all soda
 fountains, salted peanuts, peanut candy
 and other outputs of the ground pea"
 as some of the negroes call them. The
 peanut industry has reached enormous proportions in Alabama, and as they are
 healthful, we should all help consume
 the products made from them in Bir-
 mingham
 Let's drop off to coffee. At 25ol Second
 avenue is located the plant of the Batter
 ton Coffee company, manufacturers of some famous blends of both tea and cof-
 fec Robert A. Schneider, manager, says
 they put up the famous Royal Cup"
 coffee and tea; also the "Garlandi' and
 Challenge" brands of coffee, cocoa and
 spices. Their registered brand is
 the Garland" Another great favorite with the housewives is ''Battertons S
 Lemon. Chocolate, Cherry and Cream Pie
 Filler which can be had at the cash and-carry stores in half-pound packages.
 In the way of cornmeal, we are all fa-
 miliar with the Mandy brand of old style rock ground. This is the output of
 the WoodCrabbe Grain company. They make bo1ted meal called the
 "Winner' brand. This company also puts
 up good dairy feed called the Win
 ner, a great deal of which is consumed
 in this district. They also ship to all
 parts of the state.
 MACARONI AND SPAGHETTI
 Back to human food, I might mention
 Eagle Brand" macaroni and spaghetti.
 This is a local product made by the Bir- mingham Macaroni company, Avenue D and Fourteenth street. This concern sells to jobbers only, and their output is be- tween 20,000 and ,0O0 cases per month. This article of food decorates most shelves in Birmingham. So if you want to boost Birmingham, eat Eagle Brand spaghetti and macaroni.
 We have seen many advertisements telf- ing of "Velvet Joe," the old man who got a "velvety" taste from a certain
 brand of smoking tobacco But this taste
 is not one-two-three when you place a spoonful of Frozenpure ice cream in your
 mouth. This is home product, made
 before your eyes at Avenue G and Eigh-
 teenth street. The public is always cor
 dially invited to visit this plant and see how this delicious cream is made from
 pure milk. It's all quality, and the mof> you eat the more you want. Most all retailers sell it. so you don't have to visit the plant to try it out
 AnOln0r lOCdi HTfn lndl puts up anu manufactures good things is the Donovan Provision company, 21G7 Morris avenue. Red Diamond' is their trade mark, and when you buy spices, extracts, coffees, teas, etc., bearing this familiar name you know it was made in Birmingham. This Morris avenue concern also rOastS and branches peanuts for peanut butter Inanu- facturers, and shells peanuts for the candy trade. The Red Diamond" eggs are a candled product of this local establish ment. w. F. Donovan is the manager. FOR THE TRUCKMAN Another home mixture is "yacide." But this is not for table use. My friend G. B. McVay, the well-known seedman, has been working for a number of years on tomato blight mixture, which would help to head off the spread of this in- creasing curse. He now claims to have conquered the blight, and as a result has put "Vacide" on the market at 2125 Sec ond avenue.
 Besides being a seedman for B years, Mac is a graduated chemist and drug gist, and what he don't know about bug killing mixtures and blight cures amounts to very little. Ask him, he knows And he tells the people about it through The Age-Herald columns every week. He says he. likes the Thursday Farm Page for results.
 l This is not all the things made in Bir- mineham, which should be used in pref erence to others, but I simply mention ] these few things to show what is being done here at home.
 I Let's boost this old town. We all ndake living here so why not help build it up and let the world know we are be- hind its products.
