"The rapid and phenomenal adj
vance of the south's textile indus
try, while it overshadows in ex-
tent and dramatic interest other
phases of her activity, represents
after all but one of several mighty
weapons with which she is fight
ing her way to an assured position
as one of the wealthiest and most
prosperous sections of the earth.
Second only in Importance, and
with conceivably even greater pos
sibilities for the future, comes the
development of her vast coal, iron
and other mineral wealth. The
coal area Of the southern states is
twice as great as that Of all Eur
ope, including Russia, and in
close proximity lie huge deposits
of iron ores, which, for al lprac-
tical purposes, are unlimited in ex-
tent. The United States Geologi-
cal Society after surveying the
territory reported that 1.-THE Ala
bama fields were greater in ex-
tent and richer in possibilities than
tboee If tha lannon's Pittsburgh
district.
1.-THE centre of the giant indus
try is birmingham, the Magic
CITY of the south Thirty years
ago Birmingham was little strug-
Cling country town Of about 5000
population. Today she is a great
city of close to 100000 population,
a metropolis of stately buildings,
broad thoroughfares, magnificent
stores and beautiful homes. Sc
cure in the knowledge Of the inn
measurable wealth which lies IN
the mountains that surround her
and in the ability of her sons to
wrest that wealth from Mother
Earth. she is pressing on with sure
step to her destiny as one OF the
worlds greatest and richest cities
"The third big item in the tally
sheet of the south's inexhaustible
natural wealth is lumber. A huge
norton of her territory IS still
covered with virgin forest, form
ing the last great timber reserve
Of the nation. Under such condl-
t;ons it was inevitable that sooner
~ later the furniture industry
should find one of its principle
homes below the Mason and Dixon
linz and the inevitable has already
happened in High Point, N. Co. the
second greatest furniture manu-
featuring city in the country.
"As in the cotton goods situa-
+;or detractors of the south pre-
Acted that southern mills could
never produce anything but cheap
soft wood furniture. Skilled fur
,niture workers were as rare IN the
south thirty-hve years ago as WEI" e,
S sD;,iod textile operators, but the
men who started the furniture
industry were of the same nreet
ns The men who fathered the cot,
ton to- goods industry, and they 4 mac
tho tho faith and vision to undertake al
tine tine training train and educating Of the
tne MS " needed, confident that they
had had the right material to work S,; ON,
T 1aa t result is that today High
me me ;s turning out as beautiful
and artistic furniture as IS PRIV
dmcsd anywhere in America
