display at the State FAR that will at

tsh agriculturally. The success o.
,'L- efforts last year will IL. rewarded
by the assistance Of M. ]. Mcmahon
G. P A. of the New Orleans Grea,
Northern Railroad. Mr.. Mcmahon
was very favorably impressed with
the creditable showing then made
and will this year make good the
promises he made to do anything in
his power to assist US in making the
fair success this year. The fair
opens on Wednesday, October 20,
which will be made New Orleans
Day, and on which the regular We'd
nesday excursion will be advertised
to secure as many visitors as possible
from New Orleans.
Mr. Mcmahon will be In Covington
within two weeks, when he will bring
In his special car representatives Of
the press and members Of the boost
ers clubs Of New Orleans, when he
will gather material, views of Gov
ington, and the fair grounds and
such information as will be Of use
to him in advertising Covington and
the fair in his proposed campaign
for that purpose. An effort will be
made to have Mayor Behrman and
other prominent citizens of New Or
leans here on New Orleans Day.
A feature that will attract some
attention and that will be made part
of the parish exhibit at the state
Fair will be the display Of the Sal

the largest in the parish. and they

and sand. The high grade Of goods
turned out by this company has Civ
en- them national reputation. and
it is remarkable that their products
have not been assembled for display
1T the State Fair before; hence, their
exhibit at the parish fair, being the
irst they shall have made. will be
an entertaining feature and will at
tract considerable attention.
The Mackie Pine Product Co. will
also make finer display than ever
and will add new products to their
some of which they were not
manufacturing at the time of the fair
last year, although their exhibit at
that time was well worth inspecting
and created favorable comment. Mr..
has patented his own pro-
;esses and machinery, which embody
on old methods that
give distinct advantage In the man
lfacture OF pine products as well as
superiority to them. He has re-
:eived request from Secretary Louis
n Bruegerhoh OF the State Fair to
make an exhibit at Shreveport, and
I Is thought that Mr.. Mackie will

o the proposed parish exhibit at the
state Fair this fall.
