WOODE AND CRABBE
 HAVE NEW FLOUR
Will Introduce Mandy Whole
 Wheat Flour At Show

Mandy Whole Wheat Flour-one of the newest manufactured products to be made in Birmingham, will feature the exhibit of the Woode and Crabbe Grain : company in the Housewives Exhibit, which opens at 8 o'clock Monday night in the municipal auditorium. While Mandy whole wheat flour has been on the market here but short time, it has achieved a fast growing popularity with Birmingham housewives. It is made from the finest soft red winter wheat and ground the old fashioned way between stones, the only way in which the full nutritiye value of the wheat berry is retained. Only linn ited amount of the wheat is ground at time at the Wood and Crabbe Grain company's plant at 1881 Avende A, in order that the freshness and purity of the product may be guaranteed. It is pointed out by MT. Wood that the delicate flavor and superior quality of whole wheat products are lost if the flour is kept too long.
 Muffins, biscuits, bread and waffles with that true Mandy flavor, will be served hot at the Mandy booths, Nos. 70 and S3. How to make quality food out of quality products will be demon strated by an old fashioned cook who comprehends the culinary art.
 In addition to Mandy whole wheat flour, Mandy background meal and the famous Winner hominy grits and pearl meal will be on exhibition. Two pound sacks of these food products will be given away free to visitors at the Mandy booths. Recipe books, contain ing a dozen or more recipes for mak- ing waffles, battercakes, mullins and biscuit from Mandy whole wheat flour, will be presented to visitors.
 In appearance, the Wood and Crabbe booths will be among the most attrac- tive in the exhibition hall, an artistic decorative scheme being employed as a background for Mandy products. Visi- tors are invited to call by any time, and taste some of the delicious breads and biscuits made under the tester recipes of Mandy products.

STEEL MERGERS
 AID MARKETS
 DURING LULU
Railroad Combines Also Improve Financial
 Conditions
By EDWARD J. CONDLON

x NEW YORK, Oct. 26.--One of the livest topics in the financial world at present is that of mergers. Many Of the rapid advances in security prices in recent months have been attributed directly to reports, and, in some cases, to actual advance information on con solidations. Just at present, railroad and steel mergers occupy the nmeiight in view of the keener competition and the rising costs of operation. It is an old axiom in manufacturing, that a standardized product can be put out much, more cheaply than dissimilar lines. Much the same is true in the matter of transportation. Smaller roads may be linked with the larger systems and the public given the benefit of the unified control and lower operating costs.
 But as far as the mergers go, there seems to be a tacit understanding among the principals concerned to wait until after election" so that for the time being the majority of the pro- posed mergers are hanging fire. Per haps the most notable exception is that of the public utility consultations. These have gone ahead rapidly as the consumers have quickly learned the benefits to be derived from the elim- ination of duplication.
 Market Affected
 The stock market during the week just completed was especially im- pressed by merger news. And many more mergers in various fields are be- lieved to be lon athe fire" awaiting a favorable time for consumation. A considerable part of the new financ- ing being done is to take care of recent acquisitions by larger corporations.
 There has been, however, much eau tien exercised in expansions and better mer1ts despite the easy money rates pre- vailing. In the agricultural commit mites tue return of prosperity has not been the signal for active buying. On the contrary, farmers have used the in- creases in returns on their crops to liquidate loans and strengthen their own situation financially. The hard times of only a year or so ago have not failed to teach a lesson, so little extravaganza is noted in the nations purchases at this time.
 Buying DesultOry
 With the closing weeks of autumn now at hand it is seen in various lines of business that, while purchasing is being done onsa somewhat broader scale, there is decided inclination on the part of buyers to buy only in a limited way against future require ments. If prices on some lines are materially reduced in the near future, buyers certainly will receive the full benefit, but if prices continue to as- cend these increases will be quickly re- flected in retail prices. However, the buying against future needs is much more general than it was during the summer months, so that the returning faith in the outlook may be gauged by the extent of forward purchasing.

vidual but the big corporation represen- tative as well.
 The display of office furniture in cluding wood and steel filing cabinets, will be among the leading exhibits by the company. In addition there will be a representative line of high class stationery, lithographing, office requi- sites, rubber stamps, ledger leaves and bindery supplies, engraving, embossing, corporation seals, etc. There will be shown samples of lithographing work, including the making of stones and en- graving cuts which are all manufac- tured in the plant of Roberts and Son. Another interesting feature of the ex- hibit will be a demonstration of em- bossing work and the process of card engraving.
 To attempt to describe in detail the full lines carried by Roberts and Son is impossible in the space allotted for this article. But the establishment can easily be described as complete, both from the manufacturing as well as the jobbing standpoint, and friends and visitors to the exhibit will be- cor dially greeted by representatives of the company.

tions by officials of the Birmingham Health department. Inspections of the latter are made weekly. With these safeguards thrown around the product and the barring of all outside milk by the Jefferson Dairy, the management be- lieyes it is the duty of the housewife to make a personal inspection of the ex- hibit, and feels satisfied that all who call at the booth will feel repaid for their time.
