FASHION COMPANY EXPANDS
Capital Stock increased and Import
ant Consolidation Effected.

An announcement issued by Ar
maud Bloch and the Fashion Co., Inc,
conveys the interesting information
that a consolidation of the mercantile
interests Of these respective parties
has been effected, dating from Feb
ruary /, and that hereafter the joint
business will be conducted under the
name and title of the Fashion Co.,
Inc. At meeting of the stockhold-
ers of the latter concern held on the
Gath of January, the charter of the
corporation was amended so as to in
crease the capital to 100000, all of
the additional stock being subscribed
for by the present shareowners.
Both the Banner store in Railroad
avenue heretofore conducted by Mr..
Bloch, ana the Fashion store in Mis-
sissippi street owned by the Fashion
Company, will continue in business,
but the two blishments will here
after be under one management.
The company has purchased the fine
two-story brick building at the corner
of Railroad avenue and Mississippi
street, formerly owned and occupied
by the defunct Peoples Bank of Dom
aldsonville, and the Fashion store will
be moved to this location about the
first of August. The property is
splendidly located-being, in fact,
one of the very finest sites in the
principal business district of the city
and after the extensive additions
and improvements contemplated by
the new owners have been completed,
it will be as modern and attractive a
business place as can be found any
where.
The officers of the Fashion Com
pany are: Arnaud Bloch, president;
Leon Bloch, first vice president; Mar
eel Bloch, second vice president; Mar
eel Himmler, secretary treasurer.
These officers, with David Bloch, con-
stitute the membership of the COM
pany.
In congratulating this wide-awake
concern upon it's broadened sphere Of
operations, the Chief takes occasion
to commend the enterprise and pro-
gressiveness it has heretofore dis
played, and to extend best wishes for
continued success and prosperity.

measure the profound grief with
which the sad announcement was re-
seiyed by his multitude of friends
throughout this section. Funeral
services were conducted at the resi-
dence at 9 o'clock Wednesday morn
ins By Ascension Lodge No. 25l, r.
and 4. NJ, after which interment was
made in the Donaldsonyille Catholic

mourners in attendance at the OBJ
seauies gave evidence Of the high es-
TEEN in which Mr.. Montecino was
held. He is survived by his wife, nee
Odaiie Simoneaux: one daughter, Mrs.
Elisee Hebert, Of Belle Rose, and two
brothers, Messrs. Anthony and Louis
Monteeino, Of New Orleans. The
passing of this good citizen has oc-
casioned widespread regret, and I'M
measurable sympathy is extended to
the 1Dvsd oMst who mourn has loss.

ATTORNEYS ARGUE
Admissibility OF Evidence Considered
in United states Court Case


There was little Of public interest
yesterday in United States court where
the suit in equity of Mrs. Leon E. Sim
mons against the Old Bee Hive cor
poration is being tried. Most of the
day was spent in arguments as to
whether certain evidence was admis-
sable. The defence in the $4,000 suit
made 1t plain that a strong argument
would be made to snow that the 200
shares claimed to be held by Mrs. Sim
mons were not part of the 500 shares
OF stock which were legally issued.
Mr.. Billiard said that the defence
would show that while the plaintiff
claimed the stock was given her in
1909 and was a part of the 500 shares,
the defence would show that in 1912
at a meeting of the stockholders, N. E.
Chamberlain voted the stock except
that which had gone to different part
les other than the then Mrs. Chamber
lin. At no time did the stockholders
have any idea that the stock was held
by Mrs. Chamberlin. No transfer was
recorded on the books of the company,
as required by the bylaws. If she re-
ceived the stock why did she keep
quiet about II all these years from
1909 until 1917? The defence proposed
to show just where every one Of the
legally issued 500 shares of stocks now
Is, and to show that II she re ceived
a certificate for 200 shares it was not
legally issued.
