Knight Company Leading Scrap Material Dealers

The Knight Iron and Metal com pany. yards on First avenue, between Twenty seventh and Twenty ninth streets under the viaduct, have been in business in Birmingham since 1915 and. owing to fair dealings with con- sumers of scrap material, have built up large clientele who trade with them regularly. They also operate large scrap yards at Columbus, Ga. which cater to the trade in that sec tion. The local firm employs an av craze of 25 men and it's business has grown from an average of ten cars a month when they first came here to one of approximately 125 cars a month. J. B. Knight. Jr., of Colum- bus, Ga, Is president; J. B. Knight, ST., secretary and treasurer; and J. T. Knight. acting secretary and assist ant manager for the territory in Ala bama and adjacent states. The fla cilities of the firm have so increased that they are now in position to handle 10000 tons per month. The scrap merchant occupies an impor- tant position in the iron and steel manufacturing trades because he furnishes a large amount of the raw material. The reputation for fair ness of the Knight family has brought this firm to the very fore front in the district and other dis tricts served by their Birmingham yards.
