A commercial club composed of
prominent business men of this town
was recently organized with the pur
pose of putting Tarrant City on the
map, and to encourage foreign con
cerns to locate there. During the past
few months, eight new stores, two
new churches, and 40 new residences
have been built, and the foundations
for many homes have been laid, ac*
cording to Dr. F. I. Tarrant of the
company.
During the past year more than
600 lots have been sold through the
Tarrant Land company. Owing to the
location on the Birmingham-Mt. Pin
son paved highway, Tarrant City
is an ideal location for the subur
ban hopie, having all the facilities of
the city home, including schools,
paved streest and churches.
“We have no doubt but that Tar
rant City will be one of the most
hustling suburbs around Birmingham
within the next few years,” said Dr.
Tarrant. ‘‘Many people are beginning
to appreciate the suburban home,
where they can be away from the
smoke and dirt of city life, and the
constant noise of traffic.”
