Every Piece of Furniture in This Mammoth Furniture
Department of Drennen’s to Be Closed Out at Actual
Cost—Sale Starts at 9 o’Clock Monday Morning
This announcement of a closing out sale of every piece of furniture in this magnificently stocked furniture store will come as a surprise—but it had to come. We simply
must have the floor space for our constantly growing department expansion in the Silks, Wash Goods, Ready-to-Wears, Millinery, and so forth, and the Furniture had to
be sacrificed. The space on the third floor will be devoted to this expansion. Our one thought now is to dispose of every piece of craftsmanship in woodwork in
the shortest possible time. There’s just me thing that will produce speed in a case like this, and we know thoroughly well what that is—and so do you—LOW
--rPRICES—and we’re governed accordingly—hence: Every bit of Furniture in this store at actuail cost. That will'

PERKINS AND DENNY
DELIVER STRIKING
ADDRESSES AT BIG
CHAMBER BANQUET
(Continued From Huge One!
pcn\ was the same as breaking up one
or our war vessels into Lio or 30* smaller
ones anil with the same effect, ami that
fhe business men must get together or
g" down together.
One of his last ami strongest appeals
v as centered about the great Titanic dis
aster. which shocked the world a year
ago. "The wireless men had gone to the
government and asked that the wireless
business be put under federal control.'*
In said. “They were refused. The Ti
tanic disaster occurred and the greatest
confusion reigned in every wireless sta
tion along the Atlantic coast. After the
catastrophe was over the wireless men
again asked for government control and
the President and many of the big men
«»•' Congress Immediately threw up their
hands and said of course. And now wire
less telegraphy is controlled by the United
States government.
"Will the business men of America have
to wait for a disaster, titanic in its pro
portions. until they are given government
supervision of the great interstate in
dustrial concerns?"
DENNY ADDRESS SPARKLES
WITH WIT AND ELOQUENCE
Dr. Denny's address sparkled with hu
mor, wit, eloquence and appealed with
telling effect for a better civic spirit
among the business men of Alabama. He
pleaded for better schools, better school
methods, local taxation for school pur
poses, the divorcement of tfie almighty
dollar from the education of the youth
of Alabama, so that education could
stand on its own feet and nor be judged
in dollars and cents.
He was given repeated applause and
as he concluded the entire audience rose
as a man and drank "a toast to Denny.”
Ills masterful presence and flow of Eng
lish were never shown to better advan
tr ge, and his skill In sandwiching serious,
and important facts and appeals between ;
witty and humorous sentences proved as |
delightful as only an address of Dr '
Denny can
Dr. Denny arrived in Birmingham;
yesterday about noon arid was met at
the .station by Secretary \Y. O. Had-1
cllffc of the chamber and the reception
committee especially appointed to take J
care of the two speakers. Tie lunched
yesterday with Secretary Uadcliffe. Mr.
Perkins arrived last night at 7:15
o’clock on the Birmingham Special from
New York, the train being about three
hours late. He was met at the Ter
minal station by President Harding
and the reception committee and in
automobiles the party rushed to the
Hillman, where a suite of rooms had
been engaged for Mr. Perkins. He
hurried into a change of clothes and
tlie banquet began at 8 o’clock.
MR. PERKINS HERE
UNTIL TOMORROW
Mr. Perkins will remain in the city
today and tomorrow, leaving for New
York tomorrow evening. This is his
first visit to the Birmingham district
and he paid many compliments to the
city and the industries of the district,
stating that he had never seen them
but had heard of them for almost as
long as he could remember. Today and
tomorrow Mr. Perkins will be enter
tained by different citizens, and before
he leaves Monday night, will be shown
over the city and the Birmingham dis
trict. He will probably be given two
or three automobile tours, taking in all
parts of the city, visiting and inspect
ing the great industrial plants at lin
ley, Bessemer, Corey and other places.
At the beginning of his address last
night he paid a high tribute to George
Gordon Crawford, president of the Ten
nessee Coal, Tron and Railroad com
pany. He stated that the Steel cor
poration had not only given money and
aid to the T. C. I. in developing the
natural resources of Birmingham, but
that they had “given them Crawford,
and any man who has sat in the coun
cil of the great corporation and hoard
Mr. Crawford tell of local conditions
in Birmingham, and plead for this im
provement in the conditions of the
miners and the development of the
mines and mineral resources as I have
done, could not help but say that lie
is a man who answers the description
of the ideal business man given by the 1
illustrious speaker who lias just pro- ;
cadod me."
The special reception committee named
by President Harding some time ago to
take charge of the reception and enter- j
tainment of the two distinguished guests
is composed of Robert Jemisoh. Sr., chair
man: W. \\. Crawford. T. O. Smith, .T. O.
Thompson end Oscar R. Hundley. This

ELABORATE DECORATIONS
FOR THE BANQUET
The banquet was one of the most sue
>
cessful events of its kind ever held in
' this city. The banquet hall of the Hotel
* Hillman was fitted out with elaborate
decorations. Solon Jacobs, chairman,
and the entertainment committee of the
Chamber of Commerce, had charge of
the arrangements for the dinner, which is
to he made an annual event, this being
the first.
Mr. Perkins address was enter
taining and well delivered and every
one of his hearers gave him closest at
tention throughout. Mr. Perkins is a
very friendly man and a regular good
old fashioned handshaking occurred
after the banquet, the financier dis
playing a smile which, odd but true.
I very much resembled that of the dough
ty colonel, whom he so ably supported
last fall and for whom he is still work
ing.
