Who's Who in Birmingham Among the Newcomers

fell to my lot to establish agen- cies for the Art Metal Construc- tion company of Jamestown. N. Y. But one day 1t came to me that there was an opening in Birming- ham for an exclusive office out fitting company and having saved up some money l made up my mind to try it out and rented store and put in a stock, and l have never regretted doing so. for the business has grown steadily from the start.
 Believed in Birmingham
 When I opened here there were only possibly a half dozen exelu- sive office outfitting stores in the country, but believing in the growth of Birmingham I felt that it was sufficiently large and pro- gressive to support one, and 1t has. l began with a force of three and now have 12 men on the pay roll. I say this to emphasize the fact that every encouragement ought to be given by the Cham Der of Commerce and other civic bodies to the little fellow, for, once in business, if he has the sense and the push and the sup port of his home people, he is bound to succeed. N
 At present my corporation is in a position to handle big con tracts and it makes speciality of courthouse, industrial plants, banks, department stores, and yet Is ready to serve the needs of the smaller buyers We only handle office stuff in the strict sense of the word. and therefore consider that we are in position to give the best service on account of specializing"

will go back to the old job ''of dock eting them as they arrtve9"
 pr. F. B. sutton has been appoint ed to the warden's office.
 Dick Francis will be clerk of the police court at Ensley.
 S. W. Roberts has been retained as desk sergeant at Ensley also Q. c. Quinn.
 Henry J. Martin has been retained as recorder of police court.
 w. c. Cunningham has been re- tained Ss clerk of police court.
 The appointments, as announced thus far, will take effect on Tues dayf November IS. Other changes are to be expected from time to time as the necessity arises according to the announcement.
 Changes that may arise in the women's department have been the subject of considerable discussion around police headquarters. Rumor has it that Mrs. Huldah Newsome will be deposed. It has also been said that the department will be done away with. Nothing official has beenI stated as yet by any of the heads of the police departments.
 The changes as enumerated above indicate the dropping from the police service of Capt. D. C. Simmons nd Capt. P. A. Cochran. Captain Coch- ran was the senior captain in the Ensley district. With the appoint nient of Burkett as a sergeant, if the present plans of the police depart ment are continued, it will necessi- tate the release of a sergeant. There is a great deal of speculation as to the sergeant to be dropped
 Commissioner Cloe announced yes- terday that under the new regime courtesy would be. one of the pre- requisites for remaining on the force. Every police officer will be equipped with a small book giving in detail the shortest and easiest routes to any part of the city. This will .n- able an officer to assist strangers in finding streets and buildings in all parts of Birmingham. These booklets will give minute instructions for the easy locating of any of the streets either by walking or by troll ley MT. Cloe expects to have the. books ready to issue to all of the police officers within d short time.
 All police will stand rigid inspec- tion before going on duty. It will be the endeavor of the present admin istration to turn out ones of the finest police departments insthe coun- try. Birmingham has already become, well known for her detective ce- partment.

 IT stores. restaurants and mar kets have to be fitted with proper equipment in order to look at- tractive and make it possible to give good service on account of conveniences, 1t is equally as necessary that offices should un- dergo a similar treatment.
 Many businesses are judged by the fixtures and the keeping of the stock. just as many offices are rated by their neatness. Say what you please. 1t is as hard tor store or an office to get by with out paying attention to appear ances as it is for an individual.
 And just because first impress sions of businesses, like those of persons, have much to do with success, the up to- date men of af- fairs are paying attention to the showing they make on their GUS toners by seeing to 1t that when they come to buy or visit they shall be looking their best so far as outward show Is concerned. This story tells how one man capitalized on 1t and. made good.

Many Checks for Odd Fellows Home Received By Grand
 Master Jacobs

There is great activity among the Odd Fellows of the state of Alabama, as is attested by the checks being received by the grand master. c. O.. Jacobs. Part of the money received for limitations and reinstatements is paid into the fund for the improve ment of the home at Cullman, and these checks pass through the office of the grand master.
 In addition to this. letters are being received quite frequently for the re- instatement of. lodges that have been dormant for some time and all indi- cations point to great increase in membership during this grand lodge year.
 Carbon Hill lodge No. 123 that put through class of 40 during October. is getting another large class for December and as the applications are now coming in, 1t looks as though they will have as large class for this initiation.
 Star Lodge No. 2SS of Birmingham, having put through two classes are now working on the third one, and this promises to be larger than either of the other two. In addition to these two lodges that are getting large classes quite number of the lodges are putting through five or more each month.
 As the board of trustees of the Alabama odd Fellows home held a meeting at the home Monday. Novem- her [, the grand master had arranged with Cullman lodge No. S4 to have special meeting at night. This was an enjoyable affair. as there was large attendance and a class of five received the initiatory de- gree In a splendid style. A feature of the meeting was the presence of five past grand masters and three grand lodge officersF something that rarely happens. even on special oc- casions.
 There are Il lodges in the city proper and all have been busy on degree work during the past month and have continued the good work this month.
