Birmingham may have in her midst at an early date a large tractor and truck manufacturing concern.
 Albert Bernstein, who resigned the first of last month as sales manager of the Southern Motor Manufacturing Association of Houston, Texas, so as 10 be able to promote his own organi- eaton, Is in Birmingham with the ex- Iectatlon of selecting a site for thc- plant in the next day or SC.
 Il. $. Saltzman, former chies design ing engineer or the International liar vester Company, is in Birmingham with Mr. Bernstein, and they are look Ing forward to a meeting with the officials of the Chamber or Commerce who have promised to help them make the selection of site for the location of the plant
 Plans and specifications of both the tractor and the truck have already been drawn up by MT. Saltzman, and he says that if the proper location begin turning out complete tractors anu trucks in the next four or five months.
 Many people will want to know, no -doubt, why we have selected Birming ham the proper location for our new rlant in preference to the other cities in the south. We'll it's just this way: Birmingham is the best city in tae south," said Mr. SaltZman.
 Everyone here knows that, of course. But what l mean by Birming ham being the best city, is that it Is the best located for anything in the manufacturing line Take our business for instance. We are going to manufac- ture trucks and tractors. Ninety nina per cent of the materials that go into the manufacture of these two products is iron and steel. These commodities are made here and are cheaper than if we had located in another state, for. the reason we will save the freight charges, and all that will go towards putting the trucks and tractors on the market at a cheaper price"
