--s'- City Broom Works Can Supply Demand

One of Birmingham's big factories which contributes in a large measure to the cleanliness of this and other southern cities is the Magic City Broom Works.
 Broom manufacture is a business proposition. Most people are of the opinion that broomstraw. is cut by the roadside anywhere outside of Birmng- ham city limits. The growth and cul- tivation of broom straw is an indus. try in itself. Alabama Arkansas and other midwestern states are ideal both in climate and in soil conditions for the growth of broomstraw. The supply of straw of the Magic City Broom Works comes from those states
 The broom sticks are made from the best timber obtainable to insure strong and lasting handles.
 Broom manufacture is developed in four, steps First. the roughstraw is carded, only the fine long straws be- ing retained for use in the broom Next, experienced workmen fasten the straw firmly to the stick. winding it round and round with strong wire.
 The third step is the shaping of the straw and the sewing to insure spring. mess and longevity. This is done by a complicated machine in the care of a competent machinist.
 The final step is the trimming oe the rough edges by a machine saw and a pair of shears. Young men and bows do this work.
 Products of the Magic City Broom Works are found in every store h Birmingham. They are also manufac- t''rers of doll, hearth and whisll brooms

Liberty Storage Co.
 Ready for Service

Most people think the battery is just one of the inside workings of an auto mobile, but an interview with either of the proprietors of the Liberty Storage Battery Company will convince them>efiat it is otherwise
 The storage battery is the most vital part Of the car, and at the same time one of the most neglected. People allow their batteries to run out of water, sometimes seriously damaging the delicate plates that cause the currents which run the lighting and starting systems. The Liberty Storage Battery Company whose service station is at 2106 Avenue B. south. give service at all times. They invite motorists to call for. distilled water to keep the battery always full and pow erfu They repair and reeharge every kind of battery.
 The Columbia Storage Battery is their speciality. This battery by it's service and consistent performance has created for itself 8 reputation of being one of the best batteries on the market today. "E,x- pert Columbia Service" could be the
 slogan of the Liberty Storage Battery
 Company if they did not choose to extend
 their battery work to all makes.

Harris Will Make
 Walls Smile Again

Make the home walls smile again." is the motto of the management of the George W. Harris & Sons Wall Paper Company. who says that during the fpresent area of builC .ng and construc- ton that their staff of export hangers have had their hands full.
 One of the most important things to be considered when a person has in mind the idea of building a house that will really be a home is getting the proper wallpaper on the different rooms
 Wallpaper can be bought through a catalogue from supply house in an other city several hundred miles away. It may be wallpaper, that is, of cer- tain grade, and it may even be ah- ceDt cheaper per dozen rolls But in the opinion of hundreds of satisfied customers it won't be the kind of wallpaper that can be bought from the George W. Harris X Sons Wallpaper Company. and it won't have the help of the experts in that line. or the money back guarantee if you are not satisfied that comes with every order that goes forth from the house of this old reliable concern

Charles Allen Will
 Build Your House

Any persons planning to erect resi- dence or business house could not take
 more judicious step than to employ Charles NJ. Allen and Son as the con- tractors. This company, which Is To- cated at III Twenty-first street. north, is composed of Charles M. and Charles T. Allen.
 An examination of the building per , mts at the inspectors office in the city hall will show that the Allen Contracting l Company do as much work as any other | individuals in the city.
 A job never gets too complicated; too detailed; too small, or large but that | what the work will be done by these two men at a reasonable profit for them- 1 selves. Their motto for method is i shown by the fact that they have made customers out of the most fastidious persons. Their hobby is to take fancy
 and difficult work.

with all my perfect facilities, to find
life wonderful. He whose eyes are
sightless is teaching me to see; he
whose body is frail is upholding me;

me into new light"
He had slipped his arm further
within hers now and was walking
gently along the edge of the pond. His
unconscious abandon to her care, his
footsteps ready to follow where she
would lead had a marvellous effect on
Avis. That piercing grief over self
melted out of her brain and left a
wonderful desire to live and live
worthily. The gentleness Of the blind
stranger and his quiet submission to
tragedy, or perhaps his complete sur
render to a power beyond the physical
swept Avis into state that bofdered
very nearly the domain Of great
love.
She knew, that a mysterious lieht
was even then casting its first pale
rays across their path, that out under

the weird loneliness of the lily pond
she and the blind boy had found a
world of happiness undreamed until
