THE COMPRESS
Will do a Large Business This
Year-lndicatiOns Point to
a Busy Season.

The Lafayette Compress and
Storage Company has begun the
season with the determination to do
a large business. A thoroughly
modern gin enables the company to
offer exceptional inducements to the
farmer this year. A representative
of this paper visited the compress
this week and found everything in
readiness for the increase of bust
ness which is expected From all &C
counts there will be good crop of
cotton and the compress people are
fully prepared for it. Efficient men
under the direction of the president
of the company, Mr.. r N. Coron
ma, and all the modern facilities to
handle a large amount Of cotton,
insurcs a splendid service to the
patrons of the company. The gin,
under the management Of Mr.. J. f..
Martin, Is thoroughly equipped to
handle cotton at terms most favor
able to the farmer. The gin is up
anteed to give satisfaction. The
following gentlemen have charge of
the gin: J. +. Martin, manager;
Joseph Falcon, engineer; Ain,ar
Guidry, fireman, and Alfred Peck,
Waterman.
The comp, ess building is situa: ed
few acres from the gin. The
same men who ran it so successfully
last year will operate 1t this season.
+. II. Bower is the manager, J. w.
Chambers engineer, w. NJ. Sturgcs
receiving clerk and Lem Cuisine
weigher Owing to the limited
crop last year onlv 5000 bales
were compressed. Considering the
s'nallness of the crop it was a fair
season. From all appearances the
humber of compressed bales Will
reach $4,000 this year. At one
time last year there were over
5000 bales stored in the compress.
On some Of the cotton. advances
had been made to the farmers by
the company. In this way the
farmer is enabled to wait for better
prices. The compress employs a
large force Of men VINO earn good
salaries.
the Lafayette Compress and
Storage Company and Lehman,
Stern & Co. are not the same firm
as some people believe. Mr. Co.
roma, who is president Of the
former company, is manager at this
place for the latter. Lehman,
Stern & Co. are cotton buyers.
Their Representatives here are: B.
N. Corona, manager; ID. Schwartz,
cashier and book keeper, Jas. r.
Taylor, Classer; l.. Cuisine, buyer;
Charles Martin, office boy; Miss
Cora Martin, type writer. H.
Hawkins, colored man, is sa m
pier and maker. The firm has
buyers stationed at over twenty
places. Its office is In d very neat
compress. The office, which is also
used by the compress company,
has communication with three
telephone lnes--the Cumberland,
Hoggsett and a private line. \
large amount of business, inv Olvin Z
great sums Of money, is transacted
in thi, office the books of which
are in charge of MIR. Schwartz, an
excellent book keeper.
The Gazette could say much
more about this great enterprise
and of the good it has done to La
fayette, but it has not the space at
its disposal to do so this week.
