We have time and again urged upon
the citizens of Opelousas the establish
ment of small factories here, our
locality being specially favored by
nature for such industries. When we
look around us and see what our
neighbors are doing in that respect, the
conclusion forces itself upon our mind
that our citizens certainly must be
blind to their own interests in neglect
ing to do what others all around us are
doing, and with most satisfactory re-
suits. Here, for instance, is "a short
paragraph in the New Iberia Enterprise,
which shows what that town is doing
10 the matter of small manufacturing
industries:
New lberia's small manufacturing industries
are the substantial basis of its prosperity,
and we are always pleased to note their
development. One branch, particularly,
which we observe, is building up gradually,
Is the carriage and wagon factories Mr. A.
M. Bernard, who makes specially. Of large
plantation carts and light wagons, informs
us that he has turned out this year seventy
carts and number of small wagons. Messrs.
Patin Bros, and Mr.. j.. Jacquemoud, whose
speciality are carriages and all styles of ped
ding wagons, are also increasing their bust
ness and our home people are getting to
appreciate the superiority of the work of
these local factories over that of the light
and Himsy concerns placed upon the market
from outside concerns.
