SEWALL RECALLS
YOUTH OF CITY
Real Estate Man Was Resident
Here 80 Years Ago

N. H. Sewall, a citizen of Birming-
ham shortly before the last meeting of
the metallurgical engineers 3G years ago,
and now a prominent real estate dealer
of Gadsden, is in birmingham disposing
of several pieces of property in which
he is interested.
Mr.. Sewall recalls wildly the days of
Birmingham's first growth and exhibits
a letter opener made of the first soft
steel mined in Birmingham. Even
though he is a frequent visitor to the
city he always notes many changes and
improvements and declares Birmingham
is yet destined for remarkable and sub
stantial growth. He is immensely in
terested in the meeting here of the
metallurgical engineers.
Mr.. Sewan declares he erected the
firststeFe in Bessemer, at Il cost of $120
on lot for which ne paid 1000. This
same lot, he says, was purchased for So
by party from whom he bought it.
He says real estate in Gadsden has
shown a satisfactory market and that
the outlook for fall business is good.
