Bogalusa enterprise and American. (Bogalusa, La.) 1918-19??, 1919-02-27

Foreseing the rapid. development
which the plans for this city assured
from the start, the Levert brothers
Il. E and Paul L. started, in 1907,
a laundry business, with the deter
mination to add equipment and the
most modern systems as fast as re-
quired, until today they operate a
plant second to none in this part of
the state.
The main building of the property
owned by the Bogalusa Steam Laun-
dry Company is about 45x70 feet
and houses the latest machinery for
the rapid and most effective handling
of the work in every department,

partment for ladies' and mems gar
ments is maintained, Hoffman press

work for this, as well as the laundry
department, will be called for and
delivered, three motor trucks being
employed for this purpose, which call
regularly at the numerous branch Of

and respond to special telephone or
ders.

four years, since the business was
established, it has made material
progress and advancement and with
the modern improvements made, it is
one of the finest stores to be found
anywhere in this section of Louisi-

and some Of the larger ones have been
picking up the small lots offered from
depleted so that the replenishment has
come mono to soon.
Wholesalers continue to find It diff
ficult to secure adequate supplies Of
gloves, shoes, trunks and fancy leather
goods. Although some shipments Of
French gloves are being received regu-
larly the demand for Imported gloves
is so great that they fail to meet the
orders on hand. Many of the large
glove concerns are advising their Gus
toners to order their spring gloves
now so as to be sure and receive ship
ments on time for the seasonal de-
mands.
Foreign buyers are reported to be
visiting all the large shoe markets Of
the United States. A good demand is
coming from France, Great Britain,
Mexico, Spain and the Scandinavian
countries. These orders are not con-
fined to the styles worn in those coun-
tries, but large part of them to shoes
of the American pattern.

Finished cotton goods Of all varie-
ties continued in strong demand last
week, with prices showing an upward
tendency, but purchases of gray or un-
finished goods by converters and print
ers were less than the week before
Prices Of gray goods remained firm and
gained slightly over the previous week.
The standard print cloth. known as
64-Go, 3S}a inches wide, sold freely at
1SA cents yard during the middle OF
the week. 1t closed last week at 10
cents.
Converters took good quantities of
week to finish large orders they have
on hand. Sateens are largely used for
Innings, and much Of the twill goes into
work clothing.
0inghams and fine voiles, organd!es
and other fabrics suitable for women's
and children's dresses and waists were
freely sought by garment manufactur-
ers and retailers for spring use. JOB
bers advanced prices in keeping with
this strong demand.
Silks
A shift in the source aof demand for
silk goods was noticeable last week
Retailers, who had been active in the
market for several weeks. eased up in
their buying, partly because they had
filled their spring requirements fairly
we'll and partly because Of the ex-
tremely high prices, but manufacturers
of women's apparel came back into the
market to get more goods for spring
Most of the garment manufacturers
placed some orders when the mills
first showed spring samples, but the
goods on order are not of sufficient

Urge
Action TO Correct
Trade Balance
Association Suggests Stimu-
lation of Imports and
Limiting Of Exports to
Europe 20 E Essential S
Limiting American export to the bare

Limiting American export to the bare
essentials and raw materials, an IN
creased importation of European goods,
saving by the general public in TINS
country to provide sufficient funds TO
extend credit to European countries, in
crease of production here and the i'm
provement in productive and domestic
sales methods are urged by the Amer
lean Manufacturers Export Association
as the chief remedies for the reduc-
ton of our trade balance, which is
causing great concern in banking and
commercial circles.
According to figures contained in a
statement issued by the association
three billion dollars for goods. The
exchange value of European currency
into American dollars continues 70
fall.
at is the opinion of the American
Manufacturers Export Association"
says the statement that for the best
interests of the future foreign trade
OF this country this export balance
must be decreased. We are at the peak.
A world endeavoring to get back on a
peace basis has drawn very heavily
upon America for its first demands. The
turn of the wheel has come and our
national safety and prosperity and our
international obligation make it neces-
sary for us to help Europe by supplying
her necessities only, and only those
necessities for which she can paw, or
for which credits can be arranged. 1t
is clear that we cannot continue to
pyramid our export balance"
Under the most favorable conditions,
Dwight Morrow, of j. p. Morgan 6: Co.,
told the recent international Trade
Conference in Atlantic City, Europe
win owe us at least $4,000 900 900 next
summer, to be paid either in gold or
the extension of credits. Europe has
little gold to send us. The extension
of credit to Europe depends on the
amount of capital our investors can
supply and on the confidence we have
IN Europe's ability or willingness to
'ay us back ultimately.
From this premise the association
reasons as follows
III We were TO depend upon ordinary
avenues for this capital we should feel
pesslmistc about the ability OF sur
nation to extend this huge credit. But
the lesson of enforced saving learned
by the war, applied during our Liberty
and Victory Loan campaigns and which
to some extent has counteracted the
wars economic loss and wastage. mas
taught our people to save. 1t is from
our savings of this year that we must
finance this credit, from our ability
to produce more and to consume less
that banker, manu- acturer and toler
alike must, as Americans, cooperate to
provide this great fund"

Question: have $4,000 to invest and
desire to purchase a couple of bonds
that will give an interest return of
about & per cent. l desire that they
be readily salable. Would you sug-
gest some such bonds and also advise
II bonds bearing above interest rate
and STABILITY include reasonable safe
ty of principal &c. H. B.
Answer-Two very fair bonds yield
ing per cent and slightly over are
Wilson & Co. first 6 per cents and In
ternational Mercantile Marine per
cents. They have the qualities you
seek.
Question-Any information you can
give me regarding earnings, dividend
policy, etc, of Cluett, Peabody & Co.,
Inc, will be greatly appreciated.-G. B.
Answer-After paying per cent on
$7,000,000 cumulative preferred stock
and 6 per cent on $18.OOO,O 900 common
stock, Cluett, Peabody & Co. showed
surplus of $30l,169 for 1918, against
surplus Of $887,145 In 1917. On July 3,
1919, company announced general
advance in prices of collars, and gross
sales are said to be running ahead of
1918.
Question: have about $4,000 to in
vest, and thought of buying ten shares
OF each of the following: American
Sme!tlng preferred, American Zinc and
Lead preferred, Atchison preferred,
Baltimore & Ohio preferred. General
Motors per cent debenture, National
Aniline preferred, Norfolk & Western
preferred What do you think of these
as reasonably safe investments return
ing about per cent? Can you suggest
a better assortment,-D. P. B.
Answer-Your list Of preferred stocks
appears to be good for one returning
7 per cent.
Question-Kindly inform me if you
consider the following railroad stocks
safe investments in view of the facts
that they all have long dividend rec
ords and are now Mt practically their
lowest prices: Baltimore & Ohio
preferred, Great Northern Railroad
preferred, Delaware & Hudson Com
pany.-H. J. II.
Answer-We believe railroads will
be placed before long in position
where their greatest troubles will be
behind them. The stocks you mention
should all maintain their present diyi-
dends.
Question-Kindly give me your opin-
q ION OF Delaware & Hudson, paying
9 per cent, bought at 101, and United
States Industrial Alcohol, paying 16
per cent, bought at 1903. Both stocks
were purchased as Investments
H. 4. T.
Answer-Delaware & Hudson, like
most other railroad stocks, has shown
effects of proposed legislation regard
ing limiting of dividends. Coal inter
ests of Delaware & Hudson arc large,
and this might put stock in a slightly
different class. But railroad situation
ia SO clouded with uncertainty that it
is difficult to forecast outcome We do
not believe, however, that any legisla-
ton will be enacted which will hurt
the carriers of this country to the ex-
tent of robbinC them of their earning
power. Industrial Alcohol is specula-
tive, and there Is no assurance that
dividends will be maintained. Indeed,
it has been intimated that under new
capitalization rates may be halved.

Republican Legislators
Are W armed by Anderson
He Tells Them to Divorce Their
Party From the Liquor
Interests

William H. Anderson, state super
intendent of the Anti-Saloon League,
wrote yesterday to Republican legis-
lators at Albany warning them to
divorce the Republican party from tire
liquor interests or the Saloon
League would do it for them. In his
letter he SAID:
"Wherever the Republican party lead
ers in this state honestly and fully repre-
sent the intelligence and conscience of
the party, which is overwhelmingly for
prohibition, and even stronger for up
holding the Constitution, the Anti
Saloon League win gladly fade out of

Anti-Saloon League, whether they like
it or not. Responsibility for extreme
measures or party disaster will rest
upon those brewer. serving politicians
who apparently would rather see the
party defeated than have it decent.
And the meaner the league IS treated
by the professional politicians, whom
the people distrust anyhow, the
stronger it will be with the public.
The only way to weaken the Anti
Saloon League is to do what its con-
stituency want and what the people are
determined to accomplish through it
and thus eliminate the need for it,"
The Association Opposed to National
Prohibitions reiterated yesterday its
charges that discomfort and Bolshevism
in this country could be traced to
prohibition. 1t asserted, moreover,
that white mule" sold in the West
is a beverage which would make a
bomb-thrower out Of parlor Bolshe-
