Fine Business

Among the progressive. and enter
prising men of Bogalusa, and one
who has, through his own efforts,

A. NJ blanche, who conducts gro
Gerry establishment on Columbia
street, north of Fourth street. This is
among the older concerns of the city
and has been serving the people here
with high-grade merchandise for a
number of years. Mr.. blanche came
to Bogalusa seven or eight years ago
and started in business in modest
way. He has made deep study Of
modern merchandising and has care
fully applied the knowledge gained
in his business. As a result he has
today one of the most important es-
Establishments in Bogalusa and has de-
veloped a growing trade that is by
no means confined to local limits.
The A. M. blanche grocery is head
quarters for everything in the gro
Gerry line and, Notwithstanding the
fact the merchandise is of unques-
tionable high quality, the prices are
reasonably moderate, in fact, much
more so than will be found in gro
Gerry stores in the larger cities. Mr.
blanche buys produce direct from
the farmer, paying the market price,
and in turn offers it to his trade, as
surfing always fresh supply.
Mr.. blanche also has large trade
in the meat department, where meats
of all kinds are sold at reasonable
prices. In connection with the store
he owns and operates a slaughter
house, dressing and preparing the
meats for his trade daily. For this
reason he has built up a very sub
stantial trade, which is steadily grow
ing. Mr.. blanche also conducts a
restaurant and bakery baking daily
a large supply of bread, cakes and
pies. The restaurant is the leading
one in this part of town. Regular
meals are served as we'll as short or
ders at all times. The food is we'll
cooked and handled in very sani-
tary way. All milk served in the
restaurant, as well as that sold at the
store, is served from the. Planche
dairy, as is also the butter and cream
Mr.. blanche is widely known IN
business circles here and has many
friends and acquaintance throughout
the parish. The success he has at
tanned is the result Of his own efforts
and he is in every way entitled to the
confidence and respect Of everyone.
He takes an active interest in every
thing calculated to benefit the town
or community and is recognized as q
business man Of vision and ability.

this section, which is being disposed
of in tracts of from five acres up.
In his effort to develop the country
hereabouts he is making an unusual
offer to farmers, whereby the land
can be had on small payments out of
the earnings. A number of building
lots, 5Ox12O, located within the city
limits, are also being offered at rea-
sonable prices. Mr.. Pierce has I'M

manding position as distributors Of
essentials in the adjoining parishes
and counties of the two states.
E. ]. Domergue is president and
general manager of the organization,
F. w. Watts being manager of the
Bogalusa district. Deliveries are
made within the district by truck or
team, and the warehouse is served by
a private railroad spur for the
prompt handling of in-and-out
freight.
The plan developed by this conf
pany is to locate a wholesale dis
tributing house, easy of access for
the small retailer in each district,
enabling the dealer to replenish his
stock Immediately should he run out
of any article, thus saving annoy
ance and loss of time and money for
both the consumer and the merchant
That the plan has struck responsive
chord is evidenced by the rapid ex-
pansion Of the business.

Cohen Store Has
Very Select Stock

Among the modern and up-be-date
mercantile establishments Of Boga-
lusa is that conducted by s. Cohen
on Columbia street. While the bust
ness has been conducted only a few
years, the exceptional values offered
here have been such as to attract the
trade Of prudent buyers Of BogaIusa,
as well as a select trade among the
people of the rural districts. The
well-stocked store conducted by Mr..
Cohen is the real answer to the north
ern mail-order house, for he has such
a large and well selected line of
household goods that no one visiting
here or looking over this stock would
think of sending their money through

side'' is a typical Beach productlon with all the dramatic possibilities worked out. in a clever and thFllllas manner so that in all the seven p1g parts there is not one dull moment. Handled by an all star cast With Clara Horton, Cullen Landis, Sydney AIns- worth and several other equally fa- nous actors the picture IS really d
 screen classic. A young girl, June Campbell sets out from the states with her father for the gold regions of Alaska. The girl goes on alone, when her father dies from the hard ships, and falls ill with five crooks little suspecting their manner of de.
 irving a living. One of the five, tho Curly Kid, provides the girl Wlt1
 money to start a hotel. June accepts without knowing how the money had
 come into the possession of the Kid.
 The opposition noted, a gambling Jolnt
 is deserted when the new and clean
 quarters of Miss Campbell are opened
 and a. feud starts between the rival
 hotel-keepers The action IS inteose
 right up to the very dramatic climax,
 when the Curly Kid, hopslessly in
 love with June, confesSes his part in
 securing the money and then glVes
 his life for the man June loves It is heart gripping story well acted
 and well photographed. Antonio
 Moreno, star in ''The Invisible Hand,"
 a chapter story of t1e tracking down
 by the Secret Service of a, gang of in-
 ternational crooks under the direc-
 ton of a master criminal, meets with
 a fine reception and it is safe to say
 that judging by the initial instalments
 this is Moreno's greatest serial. Baby
 Osborne, FoA's News and an Outing Chester reel complete a fine screen bill. The Mast Kids, two little tots, are very clever and graceful enter tainers that will please the majority of the audience. The Musical Crys- ties have q, musical offering that ls very good. The "Wop and the Girl is a comedy talking and singing act.

 The American is taken to Europe through foreign influence and while there meets this charming little girl in d quaint old Belgian town. They fall in love Their affection remains firm all through the great struggle, and they are shown after the war, in the days through which we are now passing, /once more reunited and happy.
 TherG is another girl in the pie ture, the daughter of a wealthy Ger man -4tm erican, who falls in love with Jack Randall, the American inventor but the alliance which her father has made with the secret forces of the Menace is sufficient to tear away from her the American and draw in her direction only the questionable at tentions of German officers. She meets death, the victim of her fa- thers duplicity and betrayal of the country in which he made his fortune.
