ing Januarys into a cooked hat in the mat ter of new money invested in new con- cerns and successfully going ones in Bir- mingham The record is this:
 January, 1918 S474,OOO.
 January, 1919-S1, ,230,400
 January, 192O-S761, ,000
 January, 1921-$3, ,155,000
 Total of the three Januarys preceding that of 1921-$2, ,465, ,000.
 Increase of January 1921, over the total of the three preceding Januarys- S690,000.
 That can certainly be called fair start and happy augury for the year. But February is to present total as large or larger The Alabama Home Building and Loan association alone is to increase capital stock by S3,000,000 this month.
 Therefore it is already apparent that. the first two months of 1921 shall see an influx of new money going into new cor porate enterprise and that which is going and successful the equivalent of the total investment in that line either in 1918 or in 1919.
 There is the record of $16,000,000 in 1920 to beat, but year that shows be- tween $6,00O,OOO and $7,OOO,OOO when only two months old may be relied on to develop considerable stature before the other ten have rolled around.
 At the rate of $3,OOO,OOO per month the total for the year would be 36,000,- 900. We are not counting chickens be- fore they are matched, but one cannot help passing expectations on the excellent start that has been made.
 Among the increases in capital stock is prominently listed the Southeastern Ex- press company which has been organized to cater especially to the wants of the southern people and whose operations will evolve about Birmingham as a center
 The Jemison company, a pronounced success in the real estate and develop ment field, is another of the concerns adding to it's investment capital in field that has proven a good one.
 The Standard Casket Manufacturing company has found Birmingham such a good place in which to do business that it has added $298,000 to it's investment fund.
 The Birmingham Water Works has in- creased it's capital by $700,000 so as to enlarge it's facilities in keeping with the growth of the city it has served forty years.
 The R. D. Burnett Cigar company has waxed big on it's operations in Birming- ham and is expanding to the extent of more than S1O0,000.
 The Kilby Frog and Switch company pronounced success in the manufactur- ing field, has added $150,000 to it's cap ital at the beck and call of the expansion which reputation for it's product de mands.
 The Alabama Casket company has also found Birmingham profitable and enlarged it's capacity to do business by taking on more capital
 The new money is sinews of commerce and confidence in Birmingham brought it here. A record January is to befollowed by record February. Who can tell how many records the months of 1921 shall bring about.
