Holland Money Into Alabama Coal
Fields.
The Georgia and Alabama Indus¬
trial Index, published at Columbus,
Ga., says in its regular weekly issue:
“Perhaps no land sale of the past
week in the two states was more in¬
teresting than the transfer of 10,000
acres of coal lands in Cullman county,
Ala., to a company, said to be com¬
posed largely 7 of Hollanders. This
company, in which European capital
is known to be heavily interested, has
been acquiring holdings from time to
time in that section of Alabama, and
it is said will now build a railroad
from Cullman to the coal fields and
develop them. Cullman, it will be re¬
called, is the famous German town of
Alabama, and it does not seem strange
that European capital should follow
the colonists, especially in view of the
successful maimer in which they have
developed their town and section.
“New banks were chartered during
the week at Atlanta, Birmingham,
Byron and Cleveland, Ga. Twenty
one new corporations were formed,
with a capital of $577,500, and the ac¬
tivity in real estate is reflected by the
fact that five of them are realty cor¬
porations, located, respectively, at
Birmingham, Ala., Brunswick, Ga.,
Douglasville, Ga.. Fitzgerald, Ga.,
Savannah, Ga.
“A company was incorporated at
Americus, Ga., to engage in the cul¬
ture and marketing of pecans.
Among the land sales was that of a
farm near Winder, Ga,, for $40,000,
and the plantation will be divided
into small farms of 100 acres each.
Illinois people will build a $10,000
club house in Dougherty county, Ga.”

Hour
Its Gasoline Engine Power
It has supplanted hand-power, wind-power, horse-power and water
power on all up-to-date, well managed farms.
No other kind of power is to be considered for farm use or gen¬
eral use.
It so far surpasses any other available power that it is only a ques¬
tion of time when it will be in general use.
It is less expensive, less troublesome and less dangerous than steam
power; so much so, in fact, that gasoline engines are rapidly replacing
the steam engine everywhere.
THE I. H. C. GASOLINE ENGINE is the most practical engine for
farm or general use, because it is designed by experts who know the
requirements of a power for this purpose. It has few working parts,
which insures its being easily understood.
If you are a power user and are in the market for a gasoline engine,
call and let us demonstrate to you the many advantages of owning an
I. H. C. engine.
