USING GASOLINE
COACH LAKE WALES BRANCH

The Barlow Record says: "The
much-heralded self-running train came
through Barlow Wednesday evening
for the first time. 1t consists of one
coach with seating capacity of 46,
and will run between Tampa and Lake
Wales on the Seaboard line ON the
usual passenger train schedule. Q 81
a. m. and 6:21 p. m. The coach is run
by gasoline, much like an automobile,
and is consequently much cleaner
than the old steam system. The ac-
commodations are more comfortable
than those of the usual day coach.
and the car seems, on the whole, an
improvement over the former line, al
though it is as yet an experiment
"The express service formerly cared
for by the train coming at 9:31 in
the morning, will now be handled by
the train following at 1850:
THE new coach was made by the
company at its Tampa shops, and is
still decidedly in the experimental
stage. 1t is thought that it will be
ample in accommodating the local pa
irons"

offers the greatest OF golden oppor-

to attain success.
The field is unlimited and depends
entirely on the man behind the real

and now. The salesman Is the sole
arbiter Of his fate: he can do what
others have done, can even exceed
them II he will work as hard. But
in order to do this he must begin
the task whole hearted and whole
souIed: he must concentrate his sf

tesy are absolute essentials, and last
ly, he must ever bear in mind the

Well Known Local Firm Fur niShes Glass Materials in
 Lovely New Home

Among the largest and best known building material dealers in Bir- mingham is the Birmingham Paint and Glass company. For more than s7 years they have furnished Bir- mingham with materials in prac- tically every new building that has been erected in the business section of the city.
 All the paint and glass used in re- modelling the Birmingham Trust and Savings bank and all the paint with the exception of the main lobby decorating was handled through them. In the past they have figured out standingly in nearly every building enterprise begun here, furnishing part or all of the paints and glass used.
 Under the capable management of Mir. l. w. Angel, vice president. who has been very actively connected with them for the past i2 years, the firm has grown considerably and many big contracts have been handled successfully. Materials were bought in carload lots and they state they can fill any contract direct from the store.
 They have always been considered as one of the most reasonable firms in every respect and today it is said to be the largest house of it's kind in Alabama. Paints, glass and all necessary building materials are car ried in large quantities, and they feel that they can fulfill most any demand along this line
