Who's s Who in Birmingham Among the Newcomers

 "The Markstein brothers started in modest way. occupying at first what in New York would be called a loft in one of the downtown stores, The business grew, and they got courage to rent two floors As trade increased they took over what is known as the old Seals Piano build ing on First avenue. The stock has grown from mere handful to where it now takes a double store with three floors.
 The Markstein brothers did their own work at the beginning, but now the force has grown to 35, and thei trade territory of the firm covers practically the entire south They were the first to start an exclusive wholesale millinery house in Bir- mingham, and their foresight and energy has made them manufacturers as well as jobbers, and some of the brands handled have a wide vogue. The factory end Is constantly being enlarged.
 q am glad to have my part in ths Markstein Bros. Millinery company. I believe in Birmingham as a whole sale center, and am glad that at last our people are beginning to pull to- gether to extend its trade territory. The dollar spent at home has a round trip, while the dollar sent out of town travels on a one-way ticket. and nine times out of ten never comes back again. I am married, and so Is D.
