has ''made good" at whatever venture
he essayed, not only because of his
natural business acumen and excellent
judgment, but also by reason OF his
answering integrity under any and
all circumstances, and his readiness to
do the right thing by everyone with
whom he may have dealings. He is
a hustler Of the keenest type, an in
defatigable worker, ready at all times
to tackle legitimate business propo-
lsition and push it through to success
by sheer dint of labor and expendi-
ture of energy, but withal is a genial
companion, whole-souled and gener-
Gus, and as he expresses it, 'ready to
do a service for a friend or respond
when called upon at any hour Of the
day or night.
With Mr.. Kahn is associated jovial
Henry We'll, than whom Donaldson
vile has no more popular or generally
esteemed citizen. The Chief doffs its
hat to this wide-awake, up-and-doing
firm. May it's tribe increase!

ITO WHOM HONOR is DUE"
Achievements of Kahn-Weil Company
Call for Commentator.

1t is always a pleasure to the Chief
to recognize, and praise, manlfesta-
lions of enterprise and public splrlt, on
the part of citizens of our community.
In performance of this agreeable duty,
it deyolves upon us to bestow llber-.
al measure Of commentator upon the
progressive firm of Kahn-Weil Com
pany, Ltd, for the substantial I'M
nroyements effected to the stable
property in Mississippi street acqulr-
ed by that concern last February.
The building proper has been removal
ed from top to bottom and slde TO sloe'
extensive additions have been con-
structed, and the entire premises nave
cen thoroughly cleaned up and placed
in apple-pie order. An inspector OF
the State Board of Health who visited
Donaldsonville recently compllmented
Messrs. Kahn & We'll upon having the
cleanest and most sanitary stable N n
Louisiana, and the encomlum was wen
deserved. The site occupied by tne
establishment is perhaps one OF the
largest single pieces of commercial
property in the city, and ITS value
from a tinanclaI viewpoint .ias -
greatly increased as result OF tne
progressive policy pursued by the
present owners. =.
A large portion of the credit fol
this splendid accomplishment Is due

nhonse Kahn, who has charge OF the
active management of the business

himself up by his own efforts an
ability to a position of prominence i

munity, and has attained a measur
of success in all his undertak1n e

being owing to the cold snap, which
rendered it necessary to windrow a
portion of the cane.
