RAREST BARGAINS

of the bargain hunter. A leather
valise sold in Paris or London for
$50 may be had here for $6.

sell for $50 while the seller swore
by his fathers memory that he

bread.

in worth SO or $40. Silver table
ware sells for five to ten cents per
ounce.
A foreigner settling here for
business reasons may rent a house
for $50 a year. and possibly buy
an indefinite lease on it for $500.
The furniture, excepting the table
dishes. may be had for another
5000; but if there are any repairs
he must pay western European
wages for labor.
The reasons for these low prices
of articles are that many of them
were stolen, that there isn't much
trade and the original owners are
selling off all their home treas
ures for food.
To keep alive a family of five it
takes 100000 rubles, or 81 day
ard the prices of food jump as the
ruble drops in value.
Trade has not been so brisk here
as in Moscow, as there are fewer
strangers to buy. Fewer Russians
can get into the citv because of
the trains which run only a few
times a month owing to lack of
fuel. At that shops are opening
daily. as the new economic policy
of the Moscow government is ap-
piled. Diamonds and objects of
value are coyertly shown to pros
pective purchasers in these shops.

the old laws against speculation

Thing for Bogalusa IN the Near Future

Announcement was made in a dis
patch under a Detroit date line last
week that twelve concerns manufac-
turing wire-bOund boxes and other
types of containers had consolidated
and, according to a statement made
by John A. Grier, an officer of the
consolidated company, production ard
and distribution costs will be mate
rally reduced.
The Bogalusa Veneer Company is
one of the plants which will be af-
fected by the consolidation, but w.
c. Ames, the local manager, states he
has received no notice that the con-
consolidation has been made, except
through newspaper dispatches. How
ever, he believes the consolidation
will be one of the best things for the
country and particularly for Boga-

wood near Bogalusa, box factory
the production of which can be dou-
bled or trebled in sixty days, an
abundance of labor, in fact every
thing to make production and distri-
button lower will most likely result
in Bogalusa being the location Of one
of the largest box factories in the
country.
The fact that the local plant is one
of the few box factories now in OPP
Grafton proves that conditions here
are better than elsewhere. Mr.. Ames
believes there will be no enlarge

are much improved and just how long
before that takes place no one can
say. He said the necessary changes
could be made in a shore time to in
crease the capacity of the plant.
