The history of Bagolusa reads like
a page from the Arabian Nights. A
little over six years ago this now thriv-
ing city was covered with a mighty
forest of yellow pine. Today it is a
modern city in every respect, with a
population of over $500 people, and it
is growing daily.
AS a striking example of what can
be accomplished by giant modern in
dustries in creation of appropriated
centers, Bogalusa, with it's rapidly
growing population, presents a unique
instance. Just imagine a wilderness
in the very heart of a dense forest,
transformed in six years into as mod
ern city as there is to be found any
where in America.
Bogalusa is a beautifully laid out
city, with modern sewerage system,
electric light plant, artesian water
supply, cement sidewalks, fire protec-
ton service, beautiful modern homes,
as modern a hotel as there is in the
whole Southland, large stores, public
schools and dozen or more industries
that are second to none In Importance
in the whole United States. Those
who have never visited Bogalusa can
hardly grasp the significance of the
above statement, but to those who
have visited Bogalusa, as well as those
who have shared in its wonderful pros
perity, the beauties and opportunities
unfolded here will come as a pleasant
revelation.
Every day sees Bogalusa becoming a
more and more prosperous community,
and already the town is expanding to
the north in the form of new center,
known as North Bogalusa, which is de-
veloping into a business and home
seekers center Lots for building pur-
poses are being offered for sale here,
and the opportunities for business are
still in their infancy. Real estate in
this section is rapidly advancing in
value, and before long lots promise to
be selling at high figures. .

PINE TREE INN.

The Pine Tree Inn is one of the fea

of the beautiful Bogalusa river and
stands in the center of spacious
grounds, beautifully laid out by skilled
gardeners. The hotel is so construct
ed as to afford exposure on all sides,
thus giving all rooms the benefit of
the healthy ozone air of the piney
woods. The rooms are elegantly fur
nished, and the hotel is electric lighted
and steam heated.

That's the Bogalusa slogan, and it is
literally true, and there's a reason.
Lumber can be purchased from near
by sawmill at guaranteed wholesale
prices, which is at least 80 per cent
lower than the home builder would
have to pay elsewhere. And fine
quality of building sand is free to all.

TIMBER ENOUGH FOR SO YEARS.

In spite of the fact that this great
sawmill saws such an enormous guam
tity of timber, the company conserva-
lively estimates that it has a standing
supply sufficient to operate their mill
day and night for at least fifty years.
Thus the investor can see that Bog
alusa is not a town to be abandoned to-
morrow, but 1t has been built on broad,
comprehensive lines of permanency
and because of its superior location,
in the richest agricultural section of
Louisiana, its continued prosperity
and growth is assured long after the
timber, to which it owes its present
prosperity, has become a memory of
yesterday. This giant sawmill has
been in continuous operation day and
night since it was first started In 1907.
