by the era of construction work which obtains throughout the south.
 The South side continued to be the center of attraction in realty circles. Building plans already announced were more than sufficient to create trade impetus. Many a building or lot has been viewed by prospective purchasers, perhaps unknown to the owner. A South Side business man, renter by the way, said that his place had been visited numerous times, strangers view ing the property from the outside and several of them making a close in spection of the interior of the build ing. Rumors of contemplated improve ments by the Frisco, the interesting of the northern capital in South Side prop erty and other reports were more than sufficient to inspire sales and keep up rapid fire speculation. The big clean up in South Side property came to those on the inside" enormous profits in realty resulting from mere placing of earnest money.
 That Birmingham has attracted at tention of many persons residing in other cities is attested by the appear ance of many new real estate and kindred firms here within the last three months. Talk with any of tfe new corners and you will find that they are firmly "sold'' on Birmingham, believ- ing that Birmingham is destined to be- come in due time the leading city of the south. Resources of the district and independence of Birmingham to great intent upon crop conditions are cited as principal factors that will bring about biger Birmingham.
 Continued warm weather still handi- caps the district. Retail coal dealers are complaining of poor business. Ac- cording to representative of a large roofing concern in Birmingham, a de- cided squirt in roofing business is an- ticipated with the coming of railN;. He said that roofs are cracking badly as a result of the long dry spell, and when rain comes roofing dealers are going to be kept busy for some time to come so great will be the calls upon repair forces.

MONCRIEF FURNACE
 C. 4. BANS HOBBY
Veteran Birmingham Agent Is
 Reminiscent About It

Every furnace man has his hobby. c. A. Bain, First avenue and Seven teenth street, is no exception to the rule. The hobby of Mir. Bains is the Mon crief furnace. He is the exclusive agent for Moncrief in Birmingham.
 Talking to representative of The Age-Herald Saturday, MT. Bain said: You know I have seen many furnaces invade the Birmingham field Some of them are still here, others have long since disappeared from this zone of keen competition.
 What pleases me particularly is the fact that the Moncrief furnace has stood the test of times. l have handled the Moncrief for many years. I have seen them replaced by other furnaces and have replaced other furnaces with the Moncrief. What gratifies me, however. is the many patrons of mine, who, after trying other manufacturers have come back to me for Moncriefs. That, consider, is the real test of any prod uct.
 "1t is a custom of my firm to make free examinations of furnaces. There is no obligation imposed for this serv- ice. We give our honest criticism after examination. If it is really neces- sary to replace furnace, all we ask is the opportunity to present the ecits of the new Moncrief."
 c. A. Bain also specializes in r5ofing and sheet metal work. The firm has prospered for over 20 years and sum bers it's Customers by the hundreds.
 MT. Bain had the contract to place a handsome Buckingham slate roof on the Mccoy Memorial Sunday school at Graymont. He also was awarded a contract for a variegated slate roof on the Leroy Percy home. He put a red Spanish tile roof on the Eugene Jacobs residence, new granite tile roof on the Aldridge home on Mountain Terrace and a new tile roof on the w. B. Me Kewin residence, Forest Park.

BETTER PRICES
 ALL IS NEEDED OVER DISTRICT
Over Half Of Blast Fur naces Of District Now
 In Blast

When the demand for products of in dustrial Birmingham reaches the heavy volume expected in the near future producers will be ready.
 On every hand there is evidence of preparedness accompanied by an un- dercurrent of optimism.
 A large producer of coke and coal re- marked Saturday that his company was doing heavy volume of business, but the prices procured were unsatisfactory. Another coal operator sized up the sit uation with this remark: We are only getting low grade prices for high grade coal"
 District mines are operating on the general average of five days. This means the production is already con siderable. Exports of coal continue fairly good. An encouring outlook is a tendency towards higher prices.
 Both manufacturing and fabricating steel plants are ready to increase pro- duction. Leaders are confident of in creased business and consequently bet ter prices with the result that mills are in shape to supply the demand.
 Pig iron prices remained practically unchanged during the week. The out put can immediately be increased to approximately 1000 tons a day. Two blast furnaces are in shape now for resumption of operation and repairs are being taken up at two others. There are fourteen furnaces in blast and thir- teen in idleness.
 Pipe manufacturers reported normal inquiry. There was no marked price changes recorded during the week.
 Demand for slag continues good. Bir- mingham slag concerns are passing through very satisfactory period of activity which has been brought about

BUTTERNUT BRAND
 IS MODERN PRODUCT
Banner Baking Go. Continues Its
 Popular Growth

Daily output of the Banner Baking company, E. E. Essing, president, ha. reached a total of 6S,000 loaves of bread and approximate tely 15.OOO cakes. The 'Butternut' brand is already very popular in Birmingham.
 The Banner plant is purely a Bir- mingham institution. What it has at tained in growth has been due to it's years of operation under sanitary con- ditions. The management has always been willing to invest in any modern machine that would enable it to turn out an improved product from the com pany's ovens.
 l. Thep rocess of the Banner plant is interesting.
 First, the flour is sifted and dropped in large hopper. When the required number of pounds is reached the hop per stops the sitter automatically, and dumps its load into a large mixer, where the other ingredients are added in the right proportion for the best bread.
 The mixer then thoroughly mixes all ingredients and dumps into long steel vats from which the dough is trans ferred to the cutter, which weighs each loaf before it enters the long glass-en- cased tube for raising. The trays, with their many loaves, are placed in kind of steam oven, where they remain until the proper fermentation is secured
 From this the bread goes to the larger sanitary ovens, where it is baked until the rich brown crust appears. The loaves, after being taken from the baking ovens, are wrapped by a high ly perfected wrapping machine, ma chine that will drap and seal about 1 400 loaves per hour.
 The output of the bakery is about 6S,OOO loaves of bread per day, besides about 15,O00 cakes, rolls, etc.

GRAPICO DRINK
 MORE POPULAR
Birmingham Factory Now Operating In Fifth
 Year

The bottling establishment of the Grapico company, 1881 Eleventh ave nue, north. completely equipped to maintain its inviable reputation of this high class beverage, is an inspira- ton to the visitor Every unit of ma chinery in the plant is modern, even to the fleet of big automotive trucks that distribute the sparkling drink to dealers throughout the Birmingham dis rrict.
 The Grapico plant began opera tio1 about five years ago.'The management firmly decided that none but the high est class and purest ingredients from which Grapico is manufactured should be used. One of the cardinal rules was the use of genuine grape juice. The drink has been kept free from sac charine, salicylic acid, benzoic soda or other artificial sweetening agent or preservative. This policy has resulted in an absolutely pure as well as nourish ing beverage, delicious and refreshing, that may be given to the little child as well as the adult, without fear of harmful consequences.
 So Grapico today attained position of favortism with the public. It is in demand everywhere. Its reputation is made. .,s
 Raymond R. Rochell, president of the Grapico company, is among the widely known citizens of Birmingham. Suc- cess of the Grapico product has really been q hobby with Mir. Rochell. He has brough up sales of Grapico to a point where there is 365 day year of health demand for the industrys product. And while the total sales volume may not be the leader in soft drinks. it is nevertheless among the leaders. Policy of the company has been to create steady increase in keeping with sane, intelligent marketing system for Grapico.

Fire Interrupts Business Of Lo-

Announcement was made Saturday by H. M. Woodruff, president of the One Mint Cereal corporation, incorporated, that he hopes to have his factory in op- eration within the next three weeks. The plant was recently destroyed by fire, necessitating curtailment in the companys operation.
 The One-Minit Cereal corporation specializes in ''One- Minute" food prod ucts. The name resulted from the fact that the factory's product enables the housewife to prepare breakfast for the busy hubby within one minutes time.

SEATTLE FUR EXCHANGE

This organization of over fifty of that city's business men to create a ready market for Alaska furs, is meeting with great success. To make itself more useful, it is help ing in the fight to abrogate the ex- elusive contract with the government held by the Foucke Fur Company of St. Louis. It contends that the furs from the Pribilof Islands should be sold in salted form and that if this plan had been used in 1921, the furs would have netted the govern ment $412, ,184.5O in contrast to the $67,716 which was actually received.
 MT. Joseph E. Agnew, treasurer and general manager of the Fix change, seeks the development of this market at Seattle, the nearest Am erican port to Alaska. Raw furs could be shipped there for sale, or

Several attorneys were talking about an old man who dearly loved a fight. The old gent had just won a case in the justice court, when the loser, in a very cumulative frame of mind, said, "Ill law you to the CT cult court"

 Loser-"I'll law you to the Su- preme court

owners or agents could go at very small expense of time and money and supervise their sales personally.
 This organization is also in favor of giving large part of the pro- ceeds from the sale of furs back to Alaska. Such a use of this money for schools and the like public inter- ests in Alaska should command the support of all good citizens.
 In 1923, the governments profit on the seal skins from Pribilof Islands amounted to $1.79 per skin, while the sale of 23,555 skins in 1922 crc- ated an actual loss of $181.00. This is due to the fact that the St. Louis concern charges $15.41 per skin on the average for dyeing. It often happens that the sale of the finished skin brings in a price lower than the cost for dyeing it.

Generally speaking, those ac- quainted with governmental processes believe the law ought to be disregarded. It is understood that the Democrats will ignore the law" Juneau Empire.
 From the above, citizens will get a true insight into the political phil osophy of John w. Troy, editor of the Empire.
 Troy practices just what he preach es. He advises that the law permit ting the people of Alaska to express their preference for governor to be disregarded. A man of his type is worse than any "red shirt," "I. w. w." or anarchist. These latter would destroy government directly; while Troy would undermine government by advising citizens to disregard any law obnoxious to them.

 The Heading spirits of Juneau" passed the hat to get $1,5O0 to send corporation lawyer Robertson east to promote the division of this Ter ritory, but for some reason they didn't get the money so easily. Then they said, "Why not take the money out of the city treasury That was easy. They did, and Robertson started on his way rejoicing that the city of Juneau would pay for his trip to Washington.
 This simple fact shows just what the primary has done for Alaska. Under the convention system, cor poration lawyer Robertson would probably be our delegate to Con- gress, and there he would serve the big mines and canneries, just as he does now. The fee would not be in dollars, but it will bc paid just the same.
 Under the primary system, we have Dan Sutherland. These men are as unlike in methods, ideas and person ality as night is from day. Dan is always For the People.
