ENSLEY BUREAU l
 THE AGE-HERALD ! Ensleg, AlaN Sept, 20 1


 The business section of Ensley. will present changed appearance when building now under construc- tion in the business area are finished next month. Announcement was made Saturday by Holley X Davis, contractors, that the progress on the four a ldings on Nineteenth street and the building being erected for the Saniel Furniture company on Avenue E was nearly completed. These buildings are being rushed to the finish in order to permit the tenants to get settled in them be- fore the holidays
 Aside from these the stores being erected on Avenue c and Nineteenth street are being completed rapidly and have all been leased 1t is stated. Dur ing the past few months there has been started and completed-in Ems ley the greatest array of business houses and homes that were ever under construction here at the same time in the history of Ensley. There seems to have been an epidemic on construction that has not faltered and has included the most modest of homes to the buildings to be occu- pied by large mercantile companies
 This construction and that of the Tennesse Coal Iron and Railroad company, which has been large, has helped Ensley perhaps as much as the tremendous operations that are going forward at the local plants No man of Ensley can recall when the industrial operation were ever so gratifying with so much work ahead as is the case at this time From the moment northern plants were slowing down, there seems to have been revived energy displayed in this section and every day the volume has grown more Teassuring. The result has been rapid liquida. ton of accounts and the largest volume of business experienced in Ensley for years. The material work here has not exceeded the happy business cooperation that has grown to pleasing proportions during the past 12 months. The feeling that each business man here is depend- ent one upon the other has been fostered by the Associated Business Mems association, which had it's cre- ation at small meeting held in the offices of simon Goldstein several months ago. There is at this time a large and enthusiastic association, which has cultivated a fine trade territory and has brought about a feeling of help and mutual depend- ence of excessive value to this com munitY.
