To Speed Up On Sale Of
Canning Factory Stock

Subscriptions for stock in the new
canning factory failed to come in as
strong last week as they did the pre-
vious week, due to the fact that the
soliciting committee slowed up. How
ever, DR.. Slaughter, chairman Of the
committee, announces that today and
tomorrow he will get into harness and
canvass the Northeast and Northwest
sections Of Bogalusa.
The farmers Of this section are
vitality interested in the building Of
a canning factory and with prospects
for raising great crops of strawber-
ries looming on the horizon, the
Chamber of Commerce expects to
take a big leap forward in making
Bogalusa a real farmers town.
The merchants of the city realize
that more money for the farmer
means more sales for them, and are
going heartily into the project. With
fine canning factory here where
the farmers can market their pro-
duce, and several carloads of berries
leaving the city daily, Bogalusa viii
have something along with paper to
fall back on when the timber is all
cut and the sawmill shuts down.

and will assume charge Of the bust
ness personally, handling three or

Mr.. Wainwright adds to his ability
to run a music house the ability to
tune pianos, build pipe organs, reed
#organs and string instruments or felt
and repair any sort Of a musical in
strument. In fact, he plans to open
in Bogalusa music shop, and not
merely an agency for music and i'm
struments.
The fact that Mr.. Wainwright has
chosen Bogalusa is fortunate for Bo-
galusa. For fifteen years he oper-
ated pipe organ factory in South
America and has built some Of the
largest organs in South America. He
is now representative Of some of

no where in the South a place where

will have the distinction Of having the
first pipe organ in the South and

dents some of the best musical talent
