AUTO IS ESSENTIAL
FOR WHOLE FAMILY
Has Become As Necessary As
Bathroom, Telephone, or

The motor car in business Is just
as essential as men and capital. There
Is no argument about that. Every
business man knows 1t.
But there is one place where the
motor car has not completely come
In to its own, and strange as IL may
seem, that Is in the family life OF the
American home, says H. H. Thomas.
Eastern representative. Grant Motor
Car Corporation. To be sure, thou.
sands Of American homes have added
the motor car to their hon excepting
equipment. and wonder as we all did
when the telephone came, how we ever
got along without 1t. ~
The motor car as part Of the home.
keeping equipment is Just as essential
as the telephone, the electric light or
the bathroom. Homes that have motor
cars will agree with that. 1t is posi-
lively true. For these things are
neceslties-and the motor car Is a
necessity. ~E.t.
Safe, rapid. convenient and an ever
ready, ever present method OF trans.
portation Is the right OF every In
dividual. He can find 1t alone in his
motor car. Growing distances be-
tween work and home, the needed
conservation Of time, the increasing
speed In business life, the lure OF the
field, the stream. the woods-all these
have combined to take the motor car
out Of the luxury class and place II
where It rightly belongs, In the class
Of necessities, of modern conYeniences
The most valuable article In home
equipment is something that Is
equally useful and useable by every
member Of the family. The motor car
meets that test. 1t is for father
mother, daughter and son. No article
among the home essentials Is better
investment. It's dividends are con.
venience, better living. health and
happiness, all shared equally by the
entire household.
The short period of financial and
business depression has caused many
people to get along without a car
Just as they felt that they should fore.
20 many other necessities. That period
is rapidly passing, and Will soon be
forgotten. Nornalcy Is on Its way
as can be seen by the steady, upward
ktrend OF both business and finances
The loosening of the purse strings has
Rad much to do with those improved

Board Would Lose.
Indications are that if the public
insists on the work being abandoned,
the dock board will do so, although
it stands to lose quite a tidy sum of
money; but the hope is expressed
that some compromise may be
reached, whereby the board will put
up the shed for temporary use, with
assurances that it will be removed
within two years. This would give
the board about S1S0,00O in wharf
fees and relieve the river-front
situation.
If this arrangement is adopted, the
board would begin work on a hand
some ferry house as soon as possible,
with offices for the board upstairs.
1t would take about two years to
build this, and as soon as it was built,
the Poydras street extension would
be removed. Then Algiers would
have space for increased ferry SER
vice, and the ferry house would fit in
nicely with the city-beautiful plans,
ii is stated.
In the meantime, the dock board
owes $32,400 to the Pensacola Ship
building company for the structural
steel work of the shed. 1t was voted
Thursday night to order this material
to be shipped, to be erected temper
arily, if the people give their con-
sent, or to be held in storage for use
at another part of the wharf front

to add to it and build a shed worth
while.

In Modern Building
DECORATION OF THE INTERIOR
A WORK OF ART.

Transformation of half a dozen
shops into a large banking hall has
been accomplished in remodelling the
old Hennen Building into the new
Canal-Commercial Bank Building.
When the bank officially moved
into it's new executive quarters June
20, it was a great surprise to many
to see their new home, one of the
most modern and artistic banking
houses in the country.
The main foyer leading into the
banking rooms has been entirely re-
built. The elevator front is of niv-
eous marble. Heavy plate glass and
metal doors lead into the bank. In
side are massive polished columns
and a facade to the tellers' booths.
Desks of the banks officers are sur
rounded by a marble counter.
All of the firms offices are now
at the new quarters, and the build
| ing across the street, at Carondelet
and Common, will be given up. The
bank at Camp and Gravier streets
will be retained as brnch. officials
Fannouuce.
A feature Of the new bank is the
arrangement of tellers' booths, with
eight tellers.
| In the center of the main banking
room are some of the official desks
while the president and others have
their desks toward the front of the
building.
In the basement are the safety de-
post vaults and the banks vaults
There are 1926 individual deposit
boxes of various sizes behind mon.
strous ten-ton chilled steel door
equipped with both time and combi-
nation locks. Several burglar alarm
devices have been installed. Directly
outside the vaults are small counting
booths.
In constructing the main room OF
the bank, the second floor of the
building was entirely torn out, leav-
ing high ceiling in the center and
mezzanine floor around the walls.
Here clerks and other employees have
their quarters.
On the first floor, on the other
side of the foyer, is a separate bank
for savings and trust departments.
Furniture in the bank is of the
highest grade and latest pattern.
The directors table is 26 feet long,
and necessitated being brought from
the factory in four sections. The
table is said to be the largest Of its
kind in the South, and is constructed
of solid walnut, handmade, with
leather cushions. There are fifty
massive walnut chairs in the board
room. The suite was built on speci-
fications of the bank.

clothing and it was found much more
comfortable in the water than out.
After several hours of hard work

not be floated. The party then made
for a distant shore wading at least
two miles. They found that they
were on an island and preparations
were at once made to signal the
mainland for help. A large bon

pose of keeping away some of the
mosquitoes, drying their clothing and
warming their bodies.

nothing was heard from the bathers.
