DECORATORS SHOW
 DISTINCTIVE ART
Carroll, Andrews And Company Achieve Splendid Reputation

Artistic ability is in evidence all over the large shop of the Carroll, Andrews and company, 2702 Avenue F, Birming- ham. They specialize in interior and exterior decorations. They will not make your home beautiful, but they can transform your furniture. This is es pecially true of antique patterns.
 Carroll, Andrews and company spe. decorators. They are not only we'll es- tablished, but for years have enjoyed patronage of many of the most promi- nent families in Birmingham and Alabama.
 Tt is a pleasure for us to make sat isfied customers" said MT. Carroll. "To make satisfied customers, however, you must show merit in production. We believe that we have achieved a reputa tion in our particular work That is because our work is fascinating to us, so much so that we try to fascinate, and often times succeed, not only in satisfying but in fascinating our pat ronS."
 Carroll, Andrews and company have completed decorations for Mrs. T. c. Thompson at Siluria the H. K. Milner home, the H. N. Bowdry home in Nor wood; breakfast room decoration in the John l.. Raul residence, Altamont road, as we'll as number of other homes in Birmingham.
 J. s. Carroll is president of the com pany; J. F. Andrews, vice president i; J. l.. Carroll, secretary and treasurer, and Walter Newman is business man. ager of the wall paper department.

s5, revealing that quotations are firmer.
 Briefly stated conditions in this dis trict are as follows:
 Indications of early speeding up of production.
 Possibility of further advance in prices of pig iron. There is an ln- dication of $22 No. ? Foundry within a few weeks.
 Blowing in of three more blast fur ances early in January.
 Indications of heavy demand for pig iron during the second quarter of the new year.
 Producers are not to permit an ex- tended lay off among their men during the approaching holidays. The period for celebration in most cases win be from 24 to AS hours.
 Cast iron pipe plants will require considerable pig iron from now on. Plants which manufacture both large and small sized pipe face stimulated activity with the new years approach. . Cement plants continue their capac- ity output. Shipments are going out steadily.
 Retail merchants of Birmingham are now doing good business. Unsea- sonable temperature since the advent of fall and winter worked serious hard ship upon retailers because there was no protracted demand for winter cloth ing. What business was done came ln spurts. Recent cold weather has improved the situation which was brought about simply because many de- layed winter purchases until they felt the need.
 Christmas shoppers are congesting the retail district. All during the week Bir- mingham's department and other es- tablishments enjoyed splendid patron age. Buying will increase until Christ mas arrives for 1924.
 Improvement in business conditions has been so pronunced in every line there is full assurance of a demand for the entire output of the district.

MOST REPORTS
 INDICATE BOOM
 FOR BUSINESS
No Let Up After First Of Year Foreseen By
 Authorities
By TODD w. WRIGHT.

NEW YORK, Dec. 14.-Allowing fol the Hull that always prevails in some lines during the holiday season, the past week saw no check to the advance in business.
 To the contrary, continued progress is shown by most reports, which indi cate there will be no letup in the new year, after the dullness of the holiday season is passed. The most substantial recoveries are occurring in the big man. ufacturing industries, where they are most marked after the previous de pressed conditions.
 Average Is Doubled
 From a low point of about 10 per steel mill operations has risen to nearly 80 per cent, and textile plants are steadily enlarging their outputs. Con- servative business interests are anxious to prevent any over-production that might lead to reaction, however, and commitments in nearly all branches are being kept within the limits of safety.
 Although increases in building per mits were reported by a number of the larger cities, including Boston, Phila- delphia, Pittsburgh, Baltimore, Chicago Cincinnati, Detroit and San Francisco, the figure for the entire country is about 12 per cent less for November than for the same month last year, most of which loss, however, occurred in New York City.
 No Reflection On Prosperity
 This decrease came after II months of unusually large totals and does not mark an unnatural development for this time of the year and cannot be construed as reflecting on the general prosperity of the country.
 The continued increase in bank clear ings adds to the cheerfulness. Accord ing to Dunn's, the bank clearings re- ported by leading cities of the country are POT per cent more for last week than for the same period last year. The most pronounced improvement oc- cured at Dallas, Minneapolis and Bos ton. while the largest decrease was one of 6.7 per cent at New Orleans.

THOMAS CRATE BAR
 PLANT BUSY PLACE
One Of Birmingham's Many Sue.
 cessful Industries

A representative of The Age-Herald inspected one of the most interesting industries in Birmingham during the week when he called at the plant of the Thomas Crate Bar company.
 The Thomas Crate Bar company is one of Birmingham's many successful industries. It's value to the community and general usefulness to the industrial world, in fact, cannot be appreciated until one enjoys the privilege of visiting the offices and plant.
 The company specializes in the cast Ing Of grate bars, grate equipment and methods of firing that leads to increased boiler efficiency and conservation of fuel.
 The company decided upon a grate bar designed along scientific lines, made Of the very best material that could be obta ned to withstand higher tempera- lures and give long life in lieu of cheap scrap metal so commonly used by the average foundry. Thomas Ellip- tic grate bars are designed for all types ot 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 grate bars and true semi-steel castings to some of the high est steam trade in the country, includ- ing the [. $. government, and their shipments are going into all sections, from Texas to Maine and from Minne- sota to Florida. In addition to this national market that has been developed for their high quality products, they are also used locally and by most of the large interests of the Birmingham dis. trict, which reflects the highest evidence of quality and service.
