The greater part of these decorations already have been made and will be placed Saturday night and Sunday before the festival opens on Monday morning, October 29.
 Our finance committee has com pieted it's work and has met with fine success," MT Lawson stated. "Money matters are no worry for the festival committees due to the spIen- did cooperation on the part of prac- tically every business man in Bir- mingham, including not only manu- faeturers and merchants who VIII have displays. but the wholesalers as well have rallied to the cause.
 Just what this festival will mean to business men Is hard to estimate in dollars and cents. The enthusi astic reception accorded the first in- dustrial exhibit will certainly mean that the Birmingham fall festival and industrial exhibit will become a permanent annual affair, to be made bigger and better each succeeding year. I am sure the entire state is glad of an opportunity such as this is to visit the metropolis of Alabama. We are looking for them by the thou sands" MT. Lawson said.
