The joke is on Manager E. K.
Eastman of the Bennett Stores
this time. Generally when he hands
IN page ad to the newspaper he
has so much to tell his patrons of
the good things he has in his two
stores that it is a problem to crowd
the matter in the requisitioned space.
The printer lets off a mighty groan
and then goes to work. This time,
however, the printer was fooled for
the matter occupying the page ad
of the Bennett Stores in this issue
of the Starr Progress is very brief
indeed and in the nature of a SIM
pie greeting to the many friends and
patrons of this big mercantile es-
tablishment. Originally founded by
Bennett many years ago, about
three years ago the business was
incorporated under its present name
and since then, as before, has en-
joyed an immense patronage and is
steadily gaining every day. Some
time back a branch store, with P.
Tankel in charge, was opened at
Eunice and this branch, like the
main store, is keeping pace with the
development of the country and the
times. Manager Eastman devotes all
his time to the business and with his
corps Of able helpers is selling first
class goods at comparatively low
prices, both wholesale and retail.

in hardware and implements are

of tractors for they are wise enough
to see that end of the trade has
wonderful possibilities in the near

The Opelousas firm of Jos. Borde-
lon and Son, long established and
with a splendid reputation as one of
its chief assets, recently secured
the local agency of the Waterloo
Boy tractor and they are busily
engaged in pushing this wonderful
little machine in their territory. 1t

and is easily handled and economic
ally operated and is just the thing
for farm work, particularly in the
rice fields where it will prove in
valuable. With one man, it can east

many acres in a day. Then it can
handle big disk and then a seeder
and later on pull the plow that
puts the required levees to hold the
water for irrigating the crop. When
harvest time comes around it will
draw the binder easier than team
