Wants to Know All
OF His Customers

Bogalusa has better markets than
any city it's size in the South, and
none are more popular or sanitary
than that of w. L. Bates of North
BOgalusa, who conducts a market,
while not the largest in the city, is
one where the very best meats and
vegetables and fruit are kept.
81 never want a market so big
that l cannot kno7 each and every
customer, their likes and dislikes,"
said Mr.. Bates.
He does a big business, but makes
it point to see that all of his Gus
toners are well taken care of before
soliciting new business. In this man
ner he has kept the same customers
for years, except for a year when he
decided to try farming. When he
reOpened his business it was not a
week before all of his old customers
were again trading with him. His
patrons know they get honest weight,
prompt and dependable deliveries,
the choicest meats, vegetables and
fruits.
Recently the patrons of Mr.. Bates
insisted that he carry a select line OF
groceries, and he has found this q
great convenience for his customers
even though Of little profit to him.
self.
Making money is not everything
in life" said Mr.. Bates, "and a mar
who gives fair treatment and makes
a good living, and has good friends
/ is all that any man in life could
want"
If you should happen. not to know
Mr.. Bates, and there are few on the
North or Northwest Side who do not
YOU should make his acquaintance
( because he is a man who believes il
treating everyone square and alwayJ
willing to do his part in any goOC
cause.

Starns & Williams
To Increase Stock

There is a firm located on Column
bia street which began business last
March and promises to be one of the
best known firms in the city in the
course of a few years. The store is
owned by Starns and Williams, and
at present they are supplying the best
groceries at the lowest prices.
eve believe in keeping the cost of
living down, and by economy have
been able to sell better groceries for
less money than any store in Boga-
lusa. Our business has grown, which
shows that it pays to deal fair with

To properly visualize and get
clearly in your mind the enormous
load that is thrown upon this belt
and under which it must run day and
night, you must first realize the
enormous size of the belt. The belt
is not only II inches in width, of
three thicknesses of leather, but is
equal in length, 238 feet, to any two
otner extremely wide belts and it is
/ well known fact that all of these
extremely wide belts will be found
running on open drives under ideal
conditions.
This 72-inch 3-ply belt drives 1890
horsepower at STA feet per minute,
and at times it is called on to carry
very much of an overload, while the
slightly wider belts that are in use
n various parts of the country, re-
ferred to above as being installed on
open drives, are very seldom called
on to transmit more than 1000 horse
power, whereas this belt, as stated,
carries 1890 horsepower. There
fore, you will readily see that this
Great Southern Lumber Company's)
oelt is the only big belt in the world
running under such adverse condi-
lions.
Belt Made From $40 Butts
1t took the choicest portion of
leather centers from the back of $40
steers to make this belt and $50
pounds of cement was used to stick
The leather together. These belt
ried, finished and stretched in the
centers were of pure oak-bark South
9rn tannage and they were also cur
South.
Belt Inspected Daily
In addition to the leath inspection
referred to, the belt itself is carefully
inspected once in every ZHhours dur
ing it's operating lifetime, for while
properly tanned leather carries with
it a big overload capacity, the con-
slant starting Of the belt, plus the re-
verse and adverse strain On the ac-
ton of the leather fiber, is bound to
point out sooner or later such in
herent defects as must be developed
in natures material taken from the
backs of a multiplicity of animals.
With thousands of hides to select
from. we can, of course, secure from
the tanners a uniform product, but
the weak locations are born and bred
in the hide and are bound to show up
when under such a terrific strain, as
in this particular case.
This care and inspection necessar-
ilv eliminates the possibility of these
inherent weaknesses growing into
that serious trouble which results
from the neglect OF such important
details of manufacture. The way tC
prevent troubles is to never let then
start.
The Great Southern Lumber Com
pany has two of these large belts, one
driving the mill, while the other, the
auxiliary, is held in readiness to bt
installed at moments notice should
an unforeseen accident befall thu
belt in operation.
Speaking of the adverse strain un
der which this belt operates, it is o.
course easy enough to make a mar
row single or a two-ply leather bel
stand up under the strain of con
stantly bending back and forth, frs

Much Of the detail and direction
of the Washington Bank & Trust
Company devolves on the three very
able cashiers, o. B. Magee, cashier
in charge at Bogalusa; w. /. Daniel,
cashier in charge at Angie, La, and
w. S. Burris, cashier in charge at
Franklinton.
The resources of the Washington
Bank & Trust Company are very near
a million dollars, the mark which Mr..
Lindsey aimed at when he opened
the bank six ears ago. The bank
makes a speciality of farm loans and
is known throughout the community
as the Farmers Friend" but at the
same time offers every advantage to
the business men aid those who have
savings accounts.

The belt was made by e. A. Usina
of New Orleans, who is recognized
throughout the South as the best ex-
pHT4 on belts in the country. Mr..
Usma Is the sole manufacturer of
TTiBle-P Proof Leather Betting, which
is said to be the best made. Triple
Proof Cement is also his product, and
is waterproof and steamproof. Many
mills and large manufacturing plants
Of this section of Louisiana and Mis-
sissippi have ended all their belt trou-
bles by having Mr.. Usina take charge
of them. One would think that with
ms reputation that prices would make
no difference in order to get such
service, but Mr.. Usina states that his
eqnNtatiOns must be lower, as his costs
are under his keenest competitor, and
he tells each customer that if for
any reason whatsoever they are dis
satisfied with any article purchased
from him, they are expected to re-
turn il at his expense. But to get
back to the big belt in Bogalusa, here
are aulne interesting facts you should
RIlOw. ,
Tbe greatest test for a three-ply
leather belt is when the application
Is such that both the top and bottom
niles Of the belt come in contact with
The puleys, particularly when run
ming at the highest possible speed
"a hours a day, pressed down witt
-idlers so as to get the greatest pos
.sibIe rap or pully contact. This i
exactly how the main drive belt II

her Company, described in this artl
Gle. has to operate.

Der company was required. Mr.. Linds-
ley vas chosen for the position, which
offered an exception opportunity to
become familiar with the details of
one of the great industries of the
South.
His success in handling the affairs
of the Fort Fare Lumber Co. is a
matter of record, bringing him in
souch with prominent men in the
business and later turning his atten-
ton to the banking poss bilities of
he center of the lumber manufacture

1ended upon to cooperate in anv

If you could see $40 fine large
steers being driven down the street
and were told that it would take the
hide of every steer in the lot to make
one belt the size of the one in use at
the Great Southern Lumber Com
pany, you would be amazed. Yes,
YOU would think that was a "whop-
per-" but this is absolutely the truth
and it is the largest leather belt in
the world.
