FURNACE MAKING
 RAPID HEADWAY

The Hahn Foreman company are busy installing Weir furnaces in Bir- mingham. This furnace is electrically welded, made of locomotive steel, joint. less and is lined with fire brick They are smoke consuming and abso- lutely air tight, assuring no disagree. able dust to pefmeate the house and make life generally miserable for the housewife. According to Mir. Foreman of the company, the furnace is prov ing a wonderful success and some of the most prominent families of Bir- mingham are having these furnaces in stalled. This is the first season the Weir furnace has been handled in Birmingham by this company.
 The Hahn-Foreman Roofing and Heating company are one of the estab- lished concerns of Birmingham. They make a speciality of sheet metal work and fine roofing. They received the contract for the roofing and sheet metal work on Erskine Ramsay hall at Auburn, $250,000 structure, which was named after the promin- ent Birmingham citizen.
 The Hahn-Foreman company have done work of some kind on many of the major projects in Birmingham, to say nothing of their jobs all over Bir- mingham, where fine residences and apartments are being constructed or where already finished.

iron manufacturers. While the inc quiries, thus far, do not involve large tonnage, Mir. Porter, in a statement. during the week, sees indications of A I revived market. Mir. Porter reported some requests for spot delivery, indicat- ing the need of iron and which is inter. preted as forerunner of a change for better.
 MT. J. W. Whatley, general sales manager for the DeBardeleben Coal Corporation, is quoted as stating that he feels confident turn for the better has set in. Pig iron inquiries are more numerous. Output of coke produc. tion, although quiet, is being intelli- gently regulated by manufacturers.
 A number of Birmingham's smaller industrial plants are operating day and night shifts to care for business of fered. While it is true the payrolls of concerns of this nature are more or less limited, considerable in the aggregate and furnish good livelihood for hun dreds of families.
 The building construction situation in Birmingham is encouraging. Con tractors have been busy throughout the summer, so much. so that Birming- ham, for while trailing Memphis. Tenn, has suddenly jumped into the leadership for the south in a building way. The building program indicates a healthy demand for materials, in cluding particularly cement, lumber and brick.
 Retail demand for coal is improving. according to information to The Age Herald. Many persons are placing their orders for winter suplies. These orders have been coming in a spasmodic way during the summer. With the ap- prOach of winter nearer at hand, orders are increasing.
 Wholesalers and retailers of Birming- ham have cause to feel encouraged. Things have been moving along at least semi-actively. They are preparing for the fall season and it is noticeable that orders are coming in more freely to the wholesalers.
 Of particular encouragement to Ala

GOOD OUTLOOK FOR INDUSTRIAL
 IMPROVEMENT
Numerous Developments In Birmingham Dis
 trict Are Significant

Industrial Birmingham is gradually emerging from a rather depressing summer season. But Birmingham, as quiet as it has been, passed through the summer with it's plants carrying a few scars, but nevertheless in health full condition.
 Birmingham is more fortunate than rival communities. There is so much behind the industries of this city and adjoining communities because they are builded upon a secure foundation. When the nation is passing through periods of depression, we are less af- fected due to the stability of Bir- mingham's concerns, both large and small.
 Numerous developments of the week give cause for optimistism. The na- tional political situation, always a pre- election disturbing factor, today gives reassurances. Large operators of this district are encouraged over the out look.
 No less an authority than Mir. J. W. Porter, of the Alabama company, sees good news in a number of inquiries re- ceived in the Birmingham district by

bama generally is the cotton situation. It seems certain that a large cotton yield is assured MT. Farmer. The boil weevil has been able to do little dam age because of the hot weather and gen orally dry season. This meant a very considerable saving to the farmer in cash outlay for poison chemicals, giv- ing Mir. Grower a margin of profit re- gardless of any break in the market. Labor has been more plentiful and therefore more economical. There has been a steady influx of negroes from congested northern centers, mostly be- cause of depression in industrial plants that curtalied their supply of money.
 Regarding the pig iron situation, in quiries are more numerous. Local au- thorities anticipate need of a large quantity of pig iron during the next four months. This statement is founded upon sales already reported in lots of 1000 tons or more.
 Significant among major deals of the week was the consolidation of the Jag ger Coal company with the Pratt Fuel Corporation. The Pratt Fuel CorpWa- tion holdings embrace over 25,000 acres of coal lands in Walker county. New owners are rejOrted to be planning new openings as well as operation at maxi mum capacity openings of present prop critics.
 Another important announcement of the week came from the Alabama By Products Corporation in the decision to increase that plants outpue to 100 ovens that will coke over 40,500 tons monthly. These ovens will be in op- eration as soon as possible, work be- ginning within 30 days.
 Canadian interests have purchased certain graphite plants in Clay county. These plants were co-called boom" in- dustries of the late war. Dissembling of the plants is expected to continue un- til all of the fl plants built for gra- phite manufacturers are removed. These plants with their high-grade and costly machinery will be utilized for other purposes.
 All things considered, the fall out look for this industrial section, ap- pears, even viewed from a conserva- tive standpoint, to be encouraging. It is not at all unreasonable to expect that the back-to-normal times are approach ing. While this approach may not be as rapid as many would wish, it is, nevertheless, on it's way and will be a reality before so very long.

Plan Big Harvest
on Tourist Crop

Commercial and automobile clubs
in many Minnesota towns and cities
are now laying plans to draw tourist
travel to their localities this year and
gather bigger profits on good roads
and natural attractions.
The Ten Thousand Lakes associa-
ton is working to give national pub
licity to Minnesota's lakes and forests
and the highways which make them
easily and comfortably accessible.
Organizations Of business and profess
sional men in progressive cities are
planning follow-up campaigns to sup
plement the statewide effort, and
make sure of their share of tourist
business.
Newspaper reports this week re-
fleeing local movements include these:
Park Rapids has raised 1924 fund
of $1,000 to draw tourists to that
city and beautiful nearby lakes, and
its neighbors, Nevis is being urged
to help.
Walker Automobile club voted to
issue 3-color booklet on tourist at
fractions of Leech Lake and vicinity.
Caledonia, Hokah and other towns

The Orderly
Country Town

The general appearance of COM
munity is factor IN its business
progress. If a town is kept IN a dis
orderly manner, many people would
be less likely to come there for trade.
They would feel that the appearance
of ineffciency might extend to the
business men of the community, and
make the place less desirable as a
trading center.
But the people who travel around
the country in automobiles so freely
now, looking for good chances to buy
their supplies, are prepossessed in
favor of neat and clean looking
town. They would be inclined to say
that such a place looks like live one
where people work in systematic
and efficient way, and they would be
likely to feel that it would be a good
trading center.
The same thought applies to the
growth of town as residence place.
A neat and pretty town attracts, a
disorderly one repels people. Folks
who contemplate settling in some
place to carry on business are no
doubt somewhat governed by such
considerations. They would dislike to
locate in a slack looking town, as it
would seem to lack prosperity and
ambition. One that was full of the
spirit of Improvement would seem to
be one in which any kind of business
would grow more valuable. SO when
people work to keep their home and
business places looking well, they
create an influence that has a far
reaching effect for business gains.
