The Three Mills Taken Over Have a
Total Output of 100000 Pounds
a Year Which Means
a Large Business.

New Orleans took another step for
ward in its development as a manufac-
turing center when the announcement
was made that organization of the
Magnolia Textile Corporation, a
$3,O0O,0O0 enterprise, has been com
pleted here.
The company will take over cotton
mills at New Orleans, Magnolia, Miss,
and Moorehead, Miss, and has laid
comprehensive plans not only for the
development of it's own business but
for the building up of New Orleans
as textile market, both domestic and
export

Florscheim of Chicago, president of
the Florscheim Shoe Company, vice
president; w, Loeber Landau Of New
Orleans, vice-president and executive
head of the business; H. X Strauss Of

artillery, who has been manager Of the
Manufacturers BuSeau of the Associa-
ton of Commerce since his return

nections with the association, and will
become the sales manager Of the new
company.
The mills taken over by the new
company are those which have been
operated by w. Loeber Landau and his
brother, A. K. Landau. They are
among the most modern factories, both
as to buildings and equipment, in the
country. One Of them, the Orleans
Cotton Mills, is situated in New Or
leans; the second, the Magnolia Cotton
Mills, is at Magnolia, Miss; and the
third, the Moorehead Cotton Mills, is
at Moorehead, Miss. The three mills
have total output of about 6,000,00(
pounds a year which, at the average
market price of the products manufac
tured, means yearly business O
about 100000 for the new compan!
as starter The output for months
to come already has been sold.
Headquarters OF the new compan!
will be at 1924 st. Thomas street, the
present plant and offices of the Or

DO NOT BUY EXPEN-
SIVE FOOD DRIERS

The purchase of expensive factory
made driers for fruits and vegetables
often calls for an expenditure of sew
eral times the amount necessary to Sc
cure good drier of either the home
made or factory-made type, according
to the United States Department of
Agriculture, which has made study
of the best types of driers for home
use. Tit department has had its att
tention called to one drier now on the
market selling at price about five
times what it would cost to construct
a satisfactory substitute at home.
While the interest which gardeners are
everywhers manifesting in increased
food production should result in IN
creased use Of driers. the department
believes that large money expendi-
tune for such equipment ordinarily is
not necessary.
For the benefit of those who prefer
to make their own driers, the depart
ment has published for free distribu-
ton pamphlets containing detailed IN
formation on the subject. One Of the
driers recommended is metal covered,
and Is designed to stand on a cook
stove or small furnace. A less expen-
siye eookstoye drier, also recommend
ed, is made Of lath, wire screen. ar
! canvas or heavy unbleached musli

The announcement of the purchase
of the Tucson Pharmacy by the coop

prise, not only to the public but to the
members of the cooperative society al
so, the deal being contaminated quiet
" by the board Of directors.
The progress of the cooperative
store since it opened, less than year
ago, has been phenomenal. Many pre-
/ dictions were made by the enemies of
/ labor and Others that the venture was
fore-doomed to failure.-that it could
not succeed; but it appears to date
that nothing has failed but the predic-
tons of the doubling Thomases.
