growth and the solidity of its
foundation are best told in
the total resources Of the
Il Bank of Sldell - resources
which reaches the enormous
amount of $478, 1896, and which
makes the Bank of Slidell one of the
foremost banking concerns of the
parish. This splendid bank owes
the eminence which it has reached to
policy which has been founded on
conservatism and yet sufficiently
elastic to meet the demands Of the
community in it's steady march of de-
velopment. The bank has at all
times studied the needs of the COM
mercial interests coming within its
sphere of influence and the aid which
it has uniformly extended is seen on
every hand. The bank has won wide
popularity because Of It's policy OF ex-
tending every courtesy and assistance
to small interests as we'll as larger
ones. The year just ended has been
a most successful one which shown
| in the increased resources. In fact,
1918 has been the most successful
from the start, the business being
doubled in this single year. This
| splendid achievement is due not
alone to capable and efficient man
| agement, but also to the liberal poll
| cy of the bank as we'll. So material
ly has the business grown that 1t is
deemed expedient to enlarge the
| bank and install now equipment.

coupled with the assurance that

is not to be wondered at that the
volume of business soon outgrew the

emily solicited and it is the express
desire of the management to carry in
stock such wares or articles demand
ed by these people. While the quail
ty of merchandise carried by this
concern is unquestionably OF high
character, yet the prices are reason
ably moderate, because they buy in
large quantities taking advantage OF
discounts and do not have high rents
to pay like the larger stores or THIS

the benefit of all of these advantages.

HE STORY of the growth and
development of MadisonVil.e
would be unfinished and in
complete without more than
nassing notice of the splendid
achievements Of the Jahncke
Shipbuilding Corporation, concern
that has had a great and good 1nhu-
ence on the town.
The Jahncke Ship5uilding Corpor-
alton is one OF the largesL concerns
in the South engaged in building
wooden ships. The inception OF the
businesj dates back more than TWEEN
ty years. Starting in modest way
the business has increased steadily
To-day we find one of the most mod
ernly equipped shipyards in the coun-
try right here in Madisonvil!e. Lo-
Gated on the Tchefuncta river, with
access to the Gulf via Lake POnchar-
train. the company has all the ad-
vantages of deep water launching.
The yard is completely fenced in
and every care is taken to provide
safety for the employees, OF which
there are about 1000 engaged in the
various departments. Seven modern
ways have been erected and the work
has progressed beyond all belief.
: This concern was one OF the first
in the country to put its force be-
hind the Government. The last two
ships to be delivered TO the Govern
ment were the Bayou Teche' and
"Balabac," $500 tons, of the most
modern type. The Ferris type ship
built here is the leading one known
to the wooden shipbuilding industry
and is recognized as the highest type
OF wooden ships built. The ships
delivered by this company have, after
careful inspection, been accepted
without as much as a suggestion
which is a reelection of the character
Of skilled workmen employed at this
plant. No where will there be found
q better organization Of high-skilled
artisans than are employed here.
The company has always shown the

with the latest and best machinery
for the fabricating of steel ships and
coincidept with the location in Sill
dell theIplan was developed to en-
ploy skilled foremen in the several
departments and by esta blishing
schools for the training of ship work
ers, with the skilled and experienced
men as teachers, to build UP work
ing force from the local and neigh
boring towns thus doing away with
the handicaps of a migrating corps
of workmen which has been one of
the greatest drawbacks for the yards
on the old plan. In carrying out
this plan better cooperation has
been obtained, as the workmen have
local pride in their work and Mr..
HALEY is given credit for large
share of the esprit d'corp' as he is
firm believer in Slidell and organ
lied effort to make the town an ideal
place to live and do business in.
The standardized ships now being
constructed have a length over all OF
2S7 feet, beam As feet, and depth
of "a feet inches, with $500 tons
dead weight. With shipping world
clamoring for tonnage and so perfect
a building plant and equipment
ready, years of steady and profitable
business should, be the immediate
| future of the Louisiana Shipbuild-
| ing Corporation.
