The Oakley Planting Companys
smooth-running Oakley factory at Az
oca. Assumption parish, launched the

Tls@ term t'snaooth-running is used
advisedly, since Louis Dill, one OF
the members of the Oakley company,
is in charge of the engine-reorn, and
accidents of amy kind TO the mechan-
ical equipment of the plant have
been so rare during his term OF SER
vice as almost to escape notice Leo
Gaudin, of Darrow, who has starred
as leading proof-stick pEestIdigltatof
for many years, will again reign as
sucrier en- chef. which is tantanount
to saying that the Oakley output will
Grade 'sA1" in every respect and
command the top OF the market.
