Birmingham Paper Company

The Birmingham Paper Company was a manufacturer of paper goods. It marketed the "Nifty" brand of writing tablets and other school supplies emblazoned with the image of a drum major.

The company's main building at 2105–2107 Morris Avenue collapsed during a pre-dawn fire on July 3, 1905. Firefighters Gip Spruiell and E. B. Huffman were killed in the incident, becoming the first members of the Birmingham Fire Department to die in the line of duty.

By 1915 the company had moved into a new office at 2101 5th Avenue South, adjoined by a separate warehouse. The site was later redeveloped for the Kirklin Clinic Parking Deck and the Whitaker Building.

The company was acquired by the St Regis Paper Company of New York in the 1950s and became the Nifty Manufacturing Co. division of that company.
