Mail order shipments of finished
product from the plant OF the Boland
Soap Works in this city have in
creased 80 per cent over the same
period last year. according to a re-
port just made by Carter D. Boland,
president of the company. and this
ratio of general increase Is believed
to prevail as far as 1t relates to IL
pipe foundries, half dozen cotton
mills, miscellaneous industries and
other production concerns IN the city
of Admission.
Railroad reports for the first four
months of 1923 show conclusively that
production of finished products from
the local plants Is getting larger
every year. one Of the chief obstruc-
lions which have been noted in recent
months being inability of the An
niston manufacturing plants to secure
promptly as their business demanded.
Relief has com, though, during tn
past few weeks, and with the railroad
companies making better show IN
furnishing cars and making prompt
deliveries both ways the peak of pro-
ductton is now being attained.
One Of the most prominent OF the
increases In business in Admission IS
shown in the lumber and building
material centers, the extraordinary
demand for building material having
been stimulated by general cam
paign which will eventually relieve
the house shortage as far as Annis-
ton Is concerned.
Lumber Mills Busy.
Sawmill men, planning mill oper-
ators and lumber dealers are In the
midst now Of shipping and pro-
ducing season which has caused
favorable attention toward this line
of business endeavor, and mountain
sections where lumber Is availaple
are being cleared rapidly of the tim
Der which is large enough Tor use
at sawmills.
In this line of business Admission
has become a shipping center OF cor
siderable Importance during the f1rst
part of the present year, dealers load
ing here from mills situated as far
as 10 or IL miles away.
The Country club section OF tne
city is now dotted with new and
modern bungalows and cottages and
PEOPLE who have been away from the
city for period of five years would
have difficulty in recognizing thst
section of the city. Just below the
Country club and golf links the sun
set Land company, which was re-
Gently organized in Admission, is com :
pleting the work of paving streets
and sidew ails. installing sewer and
water main lines.
The sunset company has recently
bought several hundred other acres
of land on top of the mountain east
of the city and the promoters expect
to make that section of the city to
Admission what the South Highlands
section is to Birmingham.
O o O
Paving Under Why
Before the coming of another win
ter season Wilmer, Quintard and
leighton avenues from end to end
at least a dozen of the more cross
streets on the east side of town and
all of the sidewalks which are not
now already equipped with cement
walks will have been finished.
With all of the manufacturing
plants in the city operating at full
tilt and several other large industries
In immediate prospect. this city. is
properly in the class Of thoroughly
prosperous cities and the feeling of
optimism which com with the era
Of prosperity occasioned by plenty
of work, plenty Of money and a will
ingness to keep things humming
from years end to years end, the
business people Of. the city declare
that they expect 1928 to end with
the record of being the best year for
Admission since before the war.
