DAVIS-WOOD LUMBER COMPANY,
LACOMBE, La.
MYTH a large mill at Lacombe,
~ started about twenty years

MYTH large mill at Lacombe,
w started about twenty years
ago, the Davis-Wood Lumber
Company has become one of the best
known of southern lumber producers.
The company maintains it's principal
office and yard in New Orleans at
609 North Hagen Avenue where the
retail and wholesale trade are sup
piled.
During the period of the war the
business was exclusively for war pur-
poses, but is now returning to former
lines, and with the enormous market
developing, the full capacity output
of rough and dressed lumber in all
standard dimensions will be readily
disposed Of. Both Mr.. w. H. Davis,
president Of the company, and Mr..
Robert NJ. Wood, the secretary-treas-
urer, are Louisiana men. They OPP
crate a sixty acre diversified farm,
practically for demonstration pur-
poses, and own about twenty-five
hundred acres of cut-over land which
can be purchased in tracts of any
size, at reasonable prices and on
terms that will prove convenient to
the buyer. st. Tammany parish cut
over lands are attracting attention
far and wide for their agricultural
possibilities and the Davis-Wood
Lumber Company is in a position to
give practical advice on the subject.

GRIFFIN's BAKERY, MANDE-
WILLIE.

A BOUT nine years ago Mr.. VIM.
~ Griffin established the well
known bakery which has ex-
tended its business throughout the
parish contiguous to Vaudeville
The beginning was modept one,
but the excellence of the bread, pies,
and cakes carried their own recon-
mendation and the volume of trade
grew steadily until mum bering prac-
tically every one in the town and
vicinity among the list of patrons.
Mr.. Griffin is the proprietor and
manager, giving his undivided atten-
ton to the business, being himself
an expert and practical baker and
always keen to take advantage of
new and improved methods in pro-
ducing, handling, delivering and
shipping. Regular delivery rontes
are conducted and your telephone
order is given as carefunl attention
as the counter trade. A property
holder and taxpayer, Mr.. Griffin is
naturally interested in whatever will
benefit the community.

xWYHBN man succeeds in building
" up a profitable general mer-
" chandise business in a small
town, we are apt to view the result
as a matter of course, without ap
preciating the genuine gift for mer-
chandizing displayed in plotting the
craft into the calm waters of success.
Mr.. A. J. Bockenhagen has during
the past ten years, from a modest be-
ginning established a general store
which to-day carries very complete
stock of staple and fancy groceries,
dry goods, clothing, notions, shoes,
hats, gloves, queensware and crock
cry, hardware, tools, also fresh and
cured meats and a line Of candies,
cigars, cigarettes, tobaccos, etc.
Possessing a thorough knowledge
of the needs both of the town and
neighborhood, Mr.. Bockenhagen has
been able to anticipate the demand
and provide merchandise to satisfy
the requirements and to suit the
tastes Of all. Right prices, an I'M
failing courtesy and determination to
have only pleased customers have
been important factors in attaining
the strong position now occupied.
The year 1913 has proven the best in
point of trade volume, as it has been
a prosperous year for residents Of
this section of the parish and the
hope is expressed that 1919 may be
even better for all.

THE CRESCENT DRUG STORE,
SLIDELL.

~HE "Rexall Store" of Slidell is
the Crescent Drug Store located
! corner of Cousin and Carey
streets, and of which Mr.. Joseph =.
Langston is proprietor and manager
devoting his undivided attention 10
the business. From small begin
ming in 1903 the volume of patron
age increased so fast that the original
quarters were soon outgroWn until,
in order to take care Of the trade, the
present large two-story building was
required.
Here will be found not only full
stock of the famous "Rexall Rene
dies" but an attractive display OF
toilet articles, kodaks and supplies,
as we'll as a complete line of drugs,
patent medicines and sundries. An
excellent soda fountain has been in
stalled and is in charge of experience
ed attendants. Several popular as
sortments of candies and chocolates
will be found here, including Guth's.
Liggetts' and Elmer's. The stock OF
cigars, cigarettes and tobaccos is sec
ond to none the city.
The prescription department Is
especially deserving of mention as it
receives the very careful and prompt
attention of expert pharmacists with
particular emphasis put on the fact
that no substituting is permitted
when compromising an order. Fol-
lowing the maxim that every Gus
toner must be a pleased customer"
there is little wonder that the bust
ness has grown from year to year,
with the last far and away the best
of all.

~ many been identified with that
of the Covington Bank & Trust Com
pany during the past twenty years
or so, it would seem well nigh I'M
possible to give a financial survey OF
the one without including the other.
From an initial beginning OF about
fifteen thousand dollars in resources
to over one million as shown in the
last statement, is the record IN hg-
ures for the oldest and largest imam
cial institution in the parlsn-the
bank that has been tested by the
whole gamut of the financial trials OF
two decades: good times, hard times,
war, panic, and fire. To the man
with experience in business only
hint as a reminder would be neceS-
sary to the reviewing OF the caretul
attention and judgment which was
required to accomplish this result
safeguard the interests Of deposltors
and investors, encourage and advise
the local merchant or manufacturer,
acting as a safety valve and balance
wheel for the entire community
a story requiring too much space In
the telling.
The counting room is situated on
the first floor of it's fine brick build
ing on corner of Columbia and Bos-
ton streets, doing a general banking
and trust business with savings de-
partment showing almost three hun
dred and forty thousand dollars de-
posts in this department alone.
The Board Of Directors is compos-
ed of fifteen of the representative
business men of Covington and the
parish. The officers are, E. G. Davis,
president; S. D. Bulloch, vice-presi-
dent; T. E. Brewster, vice-presldent;
Warren Thomas, vice-president; II.
H. Dutsch, cashier.
The enviable position attained by
this institution is due not only TO the
long record Of conservative and sue
cessful banking but to the Individual
and collective financial power as rep
resented by the list of officers ana
directors, as we'll as the courtesy and
accommodation shown all patrons, be
their transactions large or small
The fact stockholders are paid regu-
lar and large dividends with demand
for the stock at high premium and
rarely any sales, is conclusive proof
of the regard in which the bank IS
held and the suTest guarantee for the
depOSitors.
