NEW INDUSTRY
ENTERS FIELD
Sivley-Abel Company Have A
Large Ornamental Wire Works

Birmingham has another ornamental
iron industry which promises to play
sn important part in the local field.
It is the Sivley-Abel Iron and Wire
Works. Their plant is located at 1927
and 1920 First avenue, north. The firm
consists of W. F. Sivley and G. e.
Abel, Jr.
This firm, although new in Birming-
ham, is well equipped in experience.
This city was selected because of the
great ia tn in continued development of
the Birmingham district.
The Sivley-Abel Iron and Wire Works
are installing one of the most modernly
equipped plants for their particular bust
ness to be found in the south. They not
only are in position to undertake any
contract, large or small, but are pre-
pared to give contractors and architects
expert service.
Mr.. Sivley has had 10 years expert
ence in his particular trade during
which time he has served as foreman as
well as in other capacities in larger
establishments of the north and south.
He has personally supervised installa-
ton of large contracts in many of the
larger cities. The stairway in the old
Age-Herald building on Fifth avenue
was erected by Mr.. Sivley. Large jobs
III Dallas, Memphis, Jacksonville and
elsewhere also are monuments to his
genius.
He was with the Price-Evan Foun-
dry company, Chattanooga, for several
years; the Chattanooga Roofing and
Foundry company two years; Decatur

HEAVY TRADING
HARDLY TAPPED
SURPLUS WEALTH
Observers Believe Big
Stock Sale Will Con-
tinue Till Spring
BY EDWARD j. CONDLON
LEASED Wire to The Age Herald)

NEW YORK. Nov. 23.-That the
vast reservoir of surplus wealth in this
country has hardly been tapped in the
tremendous buying that has character
lied the sixteen trading sessions on the
stock exchange since election day, is the
belief held by those observers of things
financial who look upon million-share
days, or even two-million share sessions
as the rule, and not the exception until
next spring, at least.
A professional trader in stocks can
make just MS much money in declining
market as in rising one, but as far as
the general public is concerned, rising
prices only, furnish the incentive for
purchasing. The shadow line between
investment and speculation where prices
ascend in rocket-like fashion has not
been reached. in the opinion of the finan-
cial communityA Money is still CHEAP
for stock market purposes and credit
is adequate for the seasonal expansion
of business and trade.
Talk on an increase in the rediscount
rate of the federal reserve banks of New
York may be expected from week to
week, but until the borrowings of men,
Der banks from the regional institutions
are greatly increased from their pres
emit levels, no such wet-blanket effect
will dampen enthusiasm in stocks. Ii
trade expansion falls short of the mark
indicated by present security prices, the
advantage in stock prices will be auto
materially checked and we may expect a
sharp reaction, but at present the out
look is brighter than it has been~in many
c season.
The present market is a stock market
and in no sense a bond market. The
turnover has been increased somewhat
but the increase is scarcely comparable
with huge gains in transactions in
stocks. Large holdings of Liberty Bonds
have been liquidated. and aside from
special buying of certain railroad and
industrial issues. these two groups have
been barely able to hold their own.
Foreign loans have sbeen irregular,
though rising foreign exchange rates
since election day have greatly strength
ened the undertone in bonds.
The investment bond market will be
given a real test on Monday with the
offering of the $1OO.OOO,O00 French
loans on a I-53 per cent basis by the
Morgan Syndicate. New bond offer
ings during the past two weeks have
not aggregated this sum. However, the
large orders already received by mem
bers of the underwriting syndicate would
seem to indicate that the loan will be
readily oversubscribed, and furnish just
another proof of soundness of the pres
ent financial situation where investors,
large and small, have set the pace and
not professional traders.

Further advance in prices of pig iron,
continued orders for steel producers,
prospects of satisfactory business for
Birmingham industries through railroad
orders for new equipment, rising spirit
of good feeling over the future outlook
will undoubtedly make THANKSGIVING
Day all the more significant to business
interests as well as the general public
in this district.
1t is true that there are some plants
in Birmingham district, even among
the larger industries, that have insuffi-
cient orders to warrant full time opera
ton. There are some blast furnaces out
of operation. Coal operators are pro-
ducing heavy tonnage in the face of I'M
satisfactory prices. There are other
evidences of a hangover from recent
depression. But in the face of all this,
there is a spirit of optimism for suffi-
cient improvement in conditions has been
noted to warrant the predtion that Bir-
mingham is coming into one of the best
of recent years.
Coal, coke and pig iron producers are
already having better demand for their
products Steel manufacturers and
ia bricating industries face continued ac-
tivity. Other products of this industrial
district are also lin greater demand

Railroads of the country, according
to press reports from authoritative
sources, authorized total expenditure

thorized expenditures for 1925 will likely
exceed this years outlay. Birmingham,
of course, will get its share of this bust

ness because of this districts importance
as a productive center.
Numerous small industries are locat-
ing in Birmingham. They will provide
employment for many persons. Every
man who wants employment should be
able to find work in Birmingham in
1925, because the demand will undoubt-
eddy be found here.
So there is sufficient evidence at hand
to Indicate great prosperity for 1925
in the Birmingham district. We, there
fore. have much to be thankful for.
Sales of pig iron continued active.
Prices are ranging from $1S to $40 per
ton with 500 per ton in prospect by the
first of the year. There is decidedly
strong tone to the market.
There is improvement in the steel de-
mand. Plants producing cotton ties,
nails, wire and other small shapes are
steadily engaged in their output.
Outlook for both coal and coke is
bright. Demand for Stag will be main
tanned because of the heavy construc-
ton program now existing over the
south, both jim highways as well as in
erection of buildings, to say nothing of
the need of Stag for various other uses.
Crisp, cool weather, the 1lfSc BIZ

past sixty days, have stimulated retail
trade. Retail coal dealers are also re-
ceiving more orders.
Realty trades continue active. New
plants and larger structures are fire.

everything happening to warrant the be-
lief that this district is face to face
with a period of prolonged prosperity.

Birmingham Industry Spreading
Out In Its Line

That this is a day of specializing
has been truly stated and proven, not
only in the many professions and spe-
cialists of the day, but this extends
equally to the diversified lines of man
ufacture and articles in daily use.
Some fifteen or twenty years ago the
average man of the business world
looking around for something to spe-
cialiZe on would have hesita ted to Sc
lect such an article as crate bar, be-
cause it was commonly regarded as
Merely something to hold up euel."
The Thomas Crate Bar company,
however, did pick out CRATE bars and
CRATE equipment for they realized the
vast field open for improvement in
such equipment also methods of firing
that would lead to increased boiler eff
f1ciency and conservation of fuels con-
sumed
The company decided upon a CRATE
bar designed along scientific lines,
made of the very best material that
could be obtained to withstand higher
temperatures and give long life in
lieu OF cheap scrap metal so commonly
used by the average foundry. Thomas
Elliptic crate bars are designed for all
types of fireboxes and furnaces and for
all classes Of fuel in other words, the
Thomas Crate Bar company are
"grate bar specialists
Today they are supplying their
Thomas Elliptic CRATE bars and true
scmi-steel castings to some of the high
est steam trade in the country, includ-
ing the U. S. government, and their
shipments are going into all sections
from Texas to Maine and from Mime
sofa to Florida. In addition to this
national market that has been devel-
oped for their high quality products,
they are also used locally and by most
OF the large interests of the Birming-
nam district, which reflects the highest
evidence of quality and service.

LOCAL men SHOT
AT WALNUT RIlGE

One Pocahontas man is dead and
another is in Jonesboro hospital
with serious injuries as result of a
shooting at Walnut Ridge last Friday
night. The dead man is Tom Scott,
who was employed in the state road
/ work here and the injured man is
Keith Wike, also with the state road
crew.
The two men. in company with Mel
vim Paul and Earl SeamOns were pass
ing through Walnut Ridge in their
ear, en- route to their home here after
a visit at HOXie. As they mOtored up
West Second street in Walnut Ridge
vOlley of shots rang out from the
vicinity of n nearby house. Scott, who
was driving, and Wike, who was in
the front seat with him, were riddled
with buckshot Scott never regained
consciousness. one of his sides being
paralyzed and both eyes shot out.
( Wilkes body. from the waist up, is
spotted with shot, many of them pierre
ing deep into the body. Both men
were taken to JonesborO, where Scott
died few hours later. Wike is in a
dangerous condition but physicians re-
port that his youth is much in ms
favor for recovery.
Officers made an investigation at
the scene of the shooting and as re-
suit have a number of people under ar
rest. The shooting occurred near the
home of Seymour Christie, prominent
Walnut Ridge contractor, and a num-
Der of shotgun shells were found after
the shooting near Christie's porch
The shells were of different make and
the indenture of the plunger showed
that they had been fired from two diff
ferent guns. Officers found a shotgun
in Christie's home and some shells
similar to one set Of those that had
been fired
Mr. and Mrs. Shirey Farmer, MT
and Mrs. Tom Atkins and Christie
were arrested charged with the shoot
ing and their trial is to be held at
Walnut Ridge today. The women are
daughters of Christie and they, with
their husbands, disclaim any know
ledge of the shooting. Officers are
working on the theory that two of the
men are guilty and that all who were
arrested know the details Of the shoot
ing.
The officers are also investigating a
whipping. said to have been administer
ed recently by Atkins and Farmer to
two Hoxie youths, who they believed
had made improper advances to their
wives. 1t is the belief of local officers
that the parties guilty of the shooting
were lying in ambush waiting for GER
tain men and that they mistook the
Pocahontas party for the ones they
wanted.
