SHEFFIELD HAS HAD MARVELLOUS
 GROWTH PERIOD
City Boasts Wonderful Location For Beautiful
 Home Sites

Bearing the name of England's great steel producing center, the marvellous growth of Sheffield since the date of its founding (1SS4) marks it as a city well worthy of the name. Located in Colbert county, Ala, in the very heart of the Muscle Shoals district; it is a city of unlimited possibilities. Its three large furnaces, stove foundry, oil mills, cot ton compress, brick kilns, lumber plants, railroad shops mad other industries have given it high rank as q manufactur- ing center. Nitrate Plant No. joins the city'ss outhwest boundar..', and Mi trate Plant No. ? is almost within q stone's throw of the northeast city line. With large weekly pay roll and pros porous farming section on all sides, Sheffield possesses those essentials that guarantee the building of one of the great cities of the south. The manu- lecturers of this city are in close prox- imity to the great coal and mineral sec tions of Alabama and Tennessee, and have the benefit of river transportation and rail facilities. The division head quarters of the Southern railway (Memphis to Washington are located at Sheffield. which is also the termini of the Louisville and Nashville railroad from Nashville, and the Northern Ala bama railway from Birmingham. The central location of Sheffield is shown by the distances by rail to large cities, viz to Memphis, 14S miles to Chattanooga, 166 miles: to Birmingham, 128 miles !: to Nashville, 139 miles; to Chicago, 444 miles, and tosW ashington 784 miles. The Jackson highway, the Lee highway and the Muscle Shoals highway all pass through Sheffield.
 The city has the commission form of government, and has the most modern facilities for water, lights, gas and elec- tric lines. The headquarters of the Sheffield company are located here and from this point the company operates an interurban system to Tuscumbia and Florence. Bitulithic pavement and mac adam streets add to the city's beauty. Natural parks, well-kept playgrounds, winding paths along the high cliffs and river drives are all assets of which any city would be proud to boast.
 No city in America possesses a more perfect setting for a beautiful home. The Palisades of the Hudson are not so en- trancing as the wondrous limestone cliffs oyerhanging the Tennessee river on its southern side. It is said that Andrew Jackson remarked that this would be the ideal spot for the national capitol. The river drive section of Sheffield with it's beautiful homes is a treat for the soul that loves beauty. The winding river, the golden sunsets, the lovely pastures and the distant mountains are open scenes from Shef- fields residential district. With a splendid type of citizenship, a thorough

The plant reser- vation also contains a sewage dis posal plnat and water filtration plant to serve apopulation of 10000, 19 miles of peFEaanent road, and four miles of trolley 6nf.
 The gigahtic power house for Wilson Dam, Nitrat& Plant Nos 1 and are all located in Colbert county, on the south side of the Tennessee river, and can be reached by few minutes drive from the union station in Sheffield, Ala, which is on the main line of the Southern Railway from Memphis to Chattanooga, the termini of the Louis vile and Nashville from Nashville to Sheffield, and the Northern Alabama from Birmingham to Sheffield. Shef- field and Florence, Ala, also have ad- vantages of transportation facilities connecting with the Mississippi, Miss ouri and the Ohio river systems.
 The advantageous central location, the completion of Wilson Dam the two great nitrate plants. the splendid health record, and the close proximity of minerals such as coal, iron, cement rock, limestone, kaolin, bauxite, and chert and gravel have marked out the Muscle Shoals district as the great in- dustrial center of the future.
