There has already been aroused among manufacturers the liveliest interest in this event. facts regarding It having leaked out through official channels in New York. Contest board representa- tives met some time ago to consider the proposal to run the event, and sanction was isued only after the board had con- sidered the matter at length. Since that time Charles F. Root, contest board rep resentative, 2204 Michigan avenue, Chi cago, has been at work upon the general outlines of the route, the rules for the contest, entry blanks and other matters requiring attention. Applications for en- tries are already in hand with F. Ed Spooner, promotional manager, 420 Book building, Detroit.
 In the district to be covered by the great touring event, truck sales have in- creased amazingly with the coming of the pneumatic tire. which has placed the motor truck squarely on its feet in a district where roads have not been fav- orable to the truck with solid tires.

BOGALUSA STORES CO. KEEPS MAIL
ORDER HOUSES FROM BUSINESS

That modern and thoroughly
equipped store, stocked with the most
attractive and best goods in every
department, such as the Bogalusa
Stores Company, located opposite the
administration building of the Great
Southern Lumber company ON the
South Side, is one of the remarkable
shopping features of this city, yet it
is in keeping with the spirit of those
who have made Bogalusa the syno-
nym for the best in all lines of en-
deavor. Such an establishment would
be a source of local pride in cities
many times the size of this, for here
will be found attractive displays of
goods of the highest quality and run
ming nearly the whole gannut of hu-
man requirements. Groceries, sta
pie and fancy; fruits, vegetables,
meats and the greatest variety of ia
BILE delicacies, clothing for the en-
tire family, hats, saoes, ladies and
mems furnishings, millinery and the
many special articles for the more
discriminating buyers, as well as
hardware, tools, athletic and sporting
goods in fact any line found in the
metropolitan department stores.
The meat market is the finest in
this part of the state, where cleanIi-
ness and the most sanitary methods
of handling are the watchwords. This
department specializes in the best
of packing house products, the meats
the best the markets supply and are
served by experts in this line who
know just how to secure the cuts the
most exacting buyer may require.
In every section the same cour-
teous and liberal treatment is ex-
tend patrons and the management
having established a reputation for
handling only the most reliable
goods, a large shade of the business
is that of orders received by phone
or messenger, with the certainty that
the articles wanted will be Just as
ordered and the delivery anywhere in
the city promptly made.
The "Candy Kitchen" or soft
drink department is a popular sec

main salesroom. Here are served all
the popular and palatable soft drinks,
ice cream, light lunches, candies and

cites and tobaccos. Few, indeed, vis-
it the big store without dropping in

Kitchen"
A most complete drug store, with a
flrst-olass prescription department,
in charge of registered pharmacist,
is an especial feature of the big
store. Prescriptions are most care
fully and accurately compounded,
with a guarantee that only the pur-
est ingredients are used. The deliv-
cry system covers the city and is
prompt and reliable. Anything found
In the largest up-to-date drug stores
is carried here and includes all drugs,
patent medicines, toilet requisites,
etc.. together with cigars and to-
baccos, as well as stationery and
magazines.
The establishing and maintaining
of store such as the Bogalusa
Stores Company, is the best answer
to the mail-order catalogue house,
and is undoubtedly one reason why
these concerns receive comparatively
little patronage from this city-ro
one would consider a thousand-mile-
away purchase when the highest
quality goods at the most reasonable
prices can be examined and pur-
chased right at home. It is patent
that so exceptional selection of
stock and thoroughly systematic bust
ness must reflect the untiring efforts
of those in charge of the several de-
partments, and close study of the
best and most up-to-date methods of
merchandising.
The Manager, Max Wilson, and his
assistant, N. D. OFT, are credited with
bringing the organization to its high
est plane of achievement and their
counsel and supervision keep the en-
tire personnel, from lowest to high
est, keyed to the effort to make each
succeeding months business an adj
vance on the one preceding.

in a hundred miles of this city,, to
give attention to the growing of

The most striking feature distin-
gushing the operation Of all details
in the manufacture of lumber by the
Great Southern Lumber Company,
from that of the many other mills in
the South, is its remarkably success
full application of every principal Of
scientific conservation, both of ma
terial and energy. In keeping with
this policy, the management arranged
a few years ago with the kell known
firm of chemical engineers, Arthur
D. Little, Inc, to make a thorough
survey of the entire property and
advise as to the best utilization of
the unavoidable waste incident to the
operations at the mills and in the
woods. After careful consideration
of the subject, the installation of a
paper mill, among other enterprises,
was the unhesitating recommends
ton. This was the inception Of the
Bogalusa Paper Company, Inc, the
two-million-dollar plant recently
completed, the first dirt for which
was thrown Friday, October 10,
1915. This plant goes a long way
toward saving every marketable part
of the waste material, both from the
mill and in the woods, as it has ca
pacity of sixty tons of wood pulp per
day, which, mixed with waste paper,
ETC., will supply about one hundred
and fifty tons of finished product.
