and It seemed success was out of
reach, but by persistent efforts and
o firm determination to 60 forward,
the proprietor gained a foothoid and
by courteous attention to every pa
trOn he soon gained a trade that was
second to none in size IN the Mage
City. Applying the idea that a
pleased customer was a steady one
was the means Of gaining many new
patrons. The Marx store soon be-
came the headquarters for the coun-
try trade as well as the prudent buy
ers of town. Each year ended with
an increase in business as well az
customers.
As the business grew, improve
ments were made to take care of the
patrons and more than once it be-
came necessary to enlarge the selling
space. Modern equipment has been
installed and as result we find to-
day a store that would be a credit
to city many times the size of b.
galusa.
The main salesroom Of the Marx
store occupies 5000. square feet Of
floor space and is stocked with
complete line Of hardware Of every
description, building materials, cleo
trical supplies, plumbing SUPPLIES,
farm implements, stoves and ranges,

DREYFUS, INC, ONE OF CITYS
MOST SUBSTANTIAL CONCERNS

The mercantile establishments Of
BDEalusa are such that one would
hardly think of sending their money
through the mails to concerns in dis
tant cities for their supplies. Every
requirement of the people here can
be supplied by the stores Of this city.
Among the larger and more sue
cessful mercantile establishments Of
Bogalusa, and one that has always
adhered to the principles Of modern
merchandising, is the Dreyfus store,
located on Columbia street. This is
cone OF the oldest concerns here and
dates its inception back to the early
history Of Bogalusa, The business
was started some twelve years ago
and has grown to one of the largest
and most successful mercantile
houses in Southeast Louisiana. The
store occupies several thousand
square feet Of floor space and Isl
modern in every respect. The new
building, now the home Of the Drey-
aus Store, was built especially to ac-
commodate the business and is one
.of the most modern brick structures
in the city. 1t was necessary few

plies, wagons and buggies, lumber,
moulding, etc. Everything can be
had here to build house or man
sion, and equip it. This concern has
furnished about 80 per cent of the
building material for the buildings
erected in Bogalusa and vicinity in
the past twelve years. This concern
has had a great and good influence
on the town and its development and
is deserving of much credit for the
splendid city we have today. Besides
the large salesroom, warehouses have
been erected in which to store sup
plies, that materials enough may al
ways be on hand to supply the trade.
The year just ended has been the
most successful one since the bust
ness was established, and it is now
considered necessary to put an addi-
tional story on the main building,
Which, when completed, will double

upon to advance rapidly by this com
pany.
Several months ago the company
purchased about twelve lots facing
Alabama avenue, on which they ex-
pect to erect handsome home with
in the next few years.
Theer is no better citizen, nor a
more enthusiastic booster in this city
than the manager of the Coca Cola
Bottling Company, ]. C. Mills. The
best evidence of appreciation that the
citizens of Bogalusa have for Mr..
Mills was demonstrated in the city
primary last fall when he needed
only votes to receive the largest out
of field of eight. He always finds
time to do a little more than his
share for any civic or patriotic move
ment, and BogGIusa could always
make room for few more such men,
and then the prediction of Mayor
Sullivan that this city would have
$4,000 in ten years, could be reduced
TO five.

Grocery
Fnst-Class Place

With so many first-class groceries
here at home it seems hardly posi-
BILE that the people here could be led
to believe that they could buy their
supplies elsewhere to advantage.
The groceries of Bogalusa are well
stocked with everything that could
be called for and there will be found
prices that cannot be met in the
larger cities.
Among the leading and successful
concerns Of the town that are daily
serving the people in an excellent
manner with first-class merchandise
is the grocery conducted by w. M.
Lumpkin on Columbia street. The
Lumpkin Grocery was established
in August, 1915, and is model store,
well stocked with everything in the
line of groceries, both fancy and sta
pie, flour and feedstuff, drugs, no
tons and soft drinks of all kinds.
In fact, the line is complete in every
respect and is such as will meet the
demands of the best people of the
city. Notwithstanding the high
quality of the merchandise, the
prices are reasonable when consider
ing prices charged by similar con-
Germs in the larger towns and cities.
Mr.. Lumpkin gives person atten-
ton to the trade is winning wide pop
ularity because of the interest he
takes in each and every one of his
customers. He is building up busi-
ness that will, no doubt, rival many
of the larger concerns of the parish.

B. Scott Opens

]. B. Scott, formerly employed by
the Great Southern Lumber Com
pany, but who for the past several
months has been connected with a
st. Louis concern, with headquarters
in Bogalusa, has opened store at
No. II Columbia street, which car
ries one of the finest lines of staple
and fancy groceries to be found in
the city. Fruits and vegetables and
cured meats are also featured.
Mr.. Scott extends a most cordial
invitation to his friends to visit the

cannot be excelled by any store in

quick to realize the advantages of a
larger home. On the completion Cf
the new building about two years
ago the business was moved to the
present location and with the in
creased stock and larger floor space
they are in position to meet the re-
quirements of the trade for every
thing in their line.
The stock embraces everything in

A story of the growth and devei-
opment of BogaIusa would hardly be
complete without more than passing
notice of the well-appointed store
conducted by M. Marx on Columbia
street. The n Marx store, or "The
Million Article Store" as it is bet
ter known, is one of the oldest cs-
Establishments in the town and dates
its inception back to the early history
of Bogalusa.
Starting twelve years or more ago,
Mr.. Marx saw the future Of store
of this kind and set to work to make
this the leading mercantile establish
ment in the city. With only limited
capital and such stock as is usually
found in a small country store Mr.
Marx opened a business that was
later to play an important part III
the growth and development of the
city. At first it was al uphill work

Many Of the most discriminating
people of Bogalusa, as we'll as the
surrounding territory, purchase their
supplies here and have been doing
so for years, because they receive
merchandise of quality at a price
within reason. Every courtesy is ex-
tended to the patrons of this house
which has one price to all. Bogalusa
can well be proud of store of this
character, which is in every way en-
titled to the liberal patronage re-
ceived. The business has been suc-

ended has been a most successful
one, in fact, exceeded in volume that

The splendid business of Uncle
Sans Department Store, located at
SO Columbia street, is worthy of
more than passing notice in this re-
view of the leading concerns of Bo-
galusa. The business was started
several years ago and has grown so
rapidly that it has been necessary
from time to time to make improve
ments and install modern equipment
to take care of the trade.

dent buyers of Bogalusa, as well as

that has always been adhered to and
one that has been the means of gain
ing many new customers is that Of
extending every courtesy and consid-
Grafton to patron, no matter wheth-

This has made the concern very pop

know that by dealing at Uncle Sans
