HOT AIR FURNACE AND STOVE PLANTS
 ARE AT CAPACITY
Product Going East and West. Half Year Sales Equal Best Prior Year in
 History
nr n1cHARp F. JoHNsroN

In the midst of summer, when thought of stoves, ranges and hot air furnaces, are furthest from mems thoughts, Birmingham fac tories making these products are on full turn.
 Unit Stove and Furnace company said: we are on full turn of six days a week. We are on full turn, be- cause we have to be on full turn In order to execute the orders on our books and make deliveries at times specified in contracts.
 Among other things. we are turn- Ing out 30 of our hot air furnaces daily. This Is new manufacture here and we did not get sit well started until a few months ago. but we have all we can do in that line. That Is our principal production at this time.
 "Where do we ship these hot air furnaces? Principally Into the east ern and middle western states. We do large business in stoves throughout the south, but our hot air furnaces naturally sell in great est quantities in colder climates. Our stove orders. however, are 50 per cent over what they were at this time last year"
 Strategic situation
 Unit Stove and Range company was established here two years ago by Belleville, Ill.,, stove makers, who discovered that proximity to cheap Birmingham iron, which is especial ly adapted to stove making purposes, enabled manufacture at a cost that would sell the product In the east and middle west in competition with stoves and furnaces made there out of the same Birmingham iron, which had to pay the freight to point of manufacture.
 Best Half Yenr
 The Birmingham Stove and Range company said; We are on a full turn of six days a week. It is by far our biggest half year. To be more exact, we will say that our sales during the first half of this year are fully the equal of the best entire years sales that we have ever en- joyed.
 "We arc realizing the benefit of getting established in the southern trade by. manufacturing a standard article. We are not an old concern and had to build up.
 We are now enlarging our plant by building a 50 by 100 addition to our assembling department, neces- sitated by the increased demand for our product and it's greater produc- tion.
 Local Appreciation
 Birmingham has treated us well. Our best customers are right here. We have no complaint about lack of local appreciation of home product. Birmingham will take the local product if 1t Is right, and you let Birmingham know about it.

Orders From Over Country, and Shipments Are Made

Things are moving along in great shape" said Ed L. Thomas, president of the Thomas Crate Bar company. manufacturers of semi-steel grate 'hars and fire castings.
 'In the past few days we have received some very good orders by mail. These include one for 50,000 pounds for New York, one for san Francisco for 5000 pounds and one for Kentucky of 12.o00 pounds. These were for the purpose of testing out and letting the purchasers have working experience with this metal
 Orders of some volume are expected tc result. MT. Thomas also mentions the following orders sent In by sales men: One of 57,o00 pounds for Ten nessee, one of 30,000 pounds for Mis- sorri, one of 1S,O06 pounds for Wis ccnsin and one of 10000 pounds for Havana, with a goodly sprinkling of smaller orders.
 MT. Thomas will leave in few days for Cuba, where he will follow up an order for the Thomas sepi- steel bars with a view of booking a larger tonnage.
 The bars and fire castings made by this concern are half steel and Ealf cast iron, Do per cent or each' Highest quality of No. 1 steel is mixed with highest quality of Bir- mingham pig iron. MT. Thomas changed from cast iron to semi -steei in the past two years, and now makes the semi-steel product exclusively. it having been found to be of much greater fire-resisting quality, and therefore more lasting.
 Believes in Publicity MT. Thomas came to Birmingham 12 years ago from valdosta, Ga. to get the benefit of lower freight rates to consuming points. and also tho lower prices on pig Iron. His product l Is sold all over the country and IS exported.
 Mr. Thomas is q believer in pub iicity. He says: ''The nice publicity that has been given to ths semi steel grate bars and fire castings is producing some wonderful results"

|N|LLERSTATES
CLOSED CAR IS
To Be POPULAR

That the inclosed motor car Is
destined to be more popular than ever
during the year of 1922 is the opinion
of Charlie Miller, manager of sales
for r. D. Roper company, distributors
Of the good Maxwell.
Judging from the receptions which
the inclosed motor cars received at
the New York National Automobile
Show" states Miller, sedan ana
coupe are to enjoy a popularity this
year of degree unprecedented in the
history of the automotive industry.
The most fastidious tastes in motor
cars can be suited as regards furnish
ings and equipment, while the fact
that the inclL sed type is an all-the-
year-'round car is making for 1t more
friends with every season.
"It Is being realized that coupe and
sedan are not adapted for simply the
winter season, but are suitable for
summer driving as well. In every
state in the country there come GER
tain months when dust clouds are
present on city street and country
Highway. At these times the inclosed
car protects its passengers and at the
same time provides perfect ventila-
ton.
'srhe sedan and coupe Of the new
Maxwell series fill all of the require
ments of American motor car en-
thusiasts. This is due to their hand
some appearance, both interior ana
exterior, together with their mechani-
cal sturdiness Every little detail
