For the Good of
 the Community

SOuguL wanted suitable floor space for few ma chimes and score or more of workmen, ' or girls, and power.
 They failed to get what they wanted and presumably went elsewhere.
 In a number of the cities in the North buildings suitable for small manufactur ing concerns making light wares have been built.
 Each manufacturer can take an entire floor, or so much of it as he may need, much in the same manner office space IS rented in office buildings.
 In building eight or ten stories high, possibly a dozen factories might be To- cated, giving employment to several hun dred persons and diversifying the prod ucts of the city.
 Electric power is used in operating the machinery, thereby avoiding the neces- sity of the manufacturer tieing up large part of his capital in engines and boilers and fuel. It also avoids the smoke and :. soot and dirt that go with steam power.
 If Birmingham had such building, not less than half a dozen small industries would have started here within the last six months probably more than that.
 L f1uf fIoxy ally so called, offer another advantage to the manufacturer of light wares. Located, as they usually are in or near the business district, their occupants are easily acces- sible at all times to the trade, to the mer- chants or brokers who purchase their products and they are close to the banks, the hotels, the postoffice, telegraph, the railroad stations and other utilities they must more or less frequently use.
 Occupying floor or part of floor of building of this kind the manufacturer can use all of his capital in his business. None of it is tied up in real estate, houses and engine rooms and equipment
 In one city in the Middle West there are between ten and fifteen buildings of this character, all within eight blocks of the center of the retail district, and every inch of floor space was leased before the structures were completed. They have from eight to twelve stories each and house manufacturing concerns that em- ploy in the aggregate between 5000 and 10000 men and women.
 Some of the manufacturers have trav- cling salesmen in all parts of the United States, with their sales running into the hundreds of thousands of dollars an nually
 It might be worth while for some Bir- mingham property owners to investigate the possibilities of a manufacturing build ing here. If they pay in other places, why

At this point Senator Smith halted
his speech and called for anyone who
had accused him, any one hostile to
him, to stand up and say something,
if there was any question of the
truth of his assertions about this last
denial. "Let him speak now or for

only silence greeted him. Applause
greeted this challenge.
