GOOD WOOD PLACE A
BEAUTIFUL SUBURB

People on pleasure or business bent
who travel on Jefferson Highway or
what is locally known as the Model
Road, seldom fail to check up autos
or teams, as the case may be, when
opposite the very latest suburb most
appropriately named Good Wood
Place, to admire what will soon be the
most beautiful and desirable Of SUBJ
urbs.
A home seeker may there find open
lawns or deep, shaded dells as his
fancy leads him without being con-
fined to lots of ground such as are
commonly laid off in an average sub
division. A lover Of grove and trees
may indulge in either to his hearts
content by selecting a plot upon
which will be found grand old trees
of growth Of centuries.
When the plans Of the promoters
of this lovely suburb are carried to
completion, and the fact that Mess1s.
Babin & Brown, realtors are the pro-
jectors is an evidence that no long
delays will occur, Good Wood Place
will for beauty rival Victory Park OF
which Baton Rougeans are so justly
proud. So impressed was represent
ative of Woman's Enterprise with the
location that she at once applied to
Messrs. Babin & Brown for full par
ticulars and thus gained the follow
ing: :,
The Good Wood Place is exclusively
residential section, is located abou'
one and a half miles east Of Bato1
Rouge and has one mile and a hal:
frontage on both jefferson Highwa!
and Benton Ferry road. To beautif.
the suburb and to supervise the lay
ing out of streets, parks, homestead
and miniature lake the owner
have employed the American Par
Builders Of Chicago, known through
out the Union as a leading firm in ar
chitectural and landscape planning
: while Mr.. A. G. Leifried who planne
Victory Park and Roselawn Cemeter
is engaged in laying out the street
and directing landscape effect
Among the several streets is one cal

A LONG FELT NEED REALIZED.

For many years the people Of Bat
on Rouge and those Of the parishes
contiguous to Baton Rouge yearned
for the day when they would be able
to boast of real hospital. Much to
their surprise, thanks to the ability OF
Father Gassler for doing big things
and doing them well, the word was
passed around some months ago that
the Franciscan Sisters of Calais,
France had been secured, and they
were going to erect hospital in Bat
on Rouge, that would be second to
none in the South. The news was re-
ceived gladly, but the majority of the
laity and professional men seemed
not to put much credence in the re:
port. They wished it to be true, and
hoped that the dream would become a
reality. Dreams do come true some
time, as this dream Of so many years
of anxiety has. :,
Ground will be broken this week
for the laying Of the foundations o.
"Our Lady of the Lake Hospital
As the name would suggest, the Hos
pital will be situated on a great prom
inence gently sloping for three hun
dred feet into the University Lake

as Babin & Brown do not build houses
for renting purposes Good Wood Place

homes where families may enjoy all
the comforts and conveniences OF rur-
al and urban life combined.
Perhaps there are not in Louisiana
a firm Of realtors Of more or even
equal experience in developing SUBJ
urbs than Messrs. Babin & Brown
pioneers in that direction. They have
converted untidy and uninviting tracts
into handsome suburbs, changed for
ests into residential sections, have
energy, intelligence, experience and
capital to carry out any plan under
taken while they deal with patrons on
most liberal terms. ,
It is beyond our ability to furnish
a full and understandable description
Of Good Wood Place but visitors may
rest assured that surprise await:
them when they note the active worE
Of converting a forest into a beaut!

~ Ration Rouge and the surrounding

Of Ration Rouge and the surrounding
country In all the hospital will &C.
cupv seven acres Of land with the
University Lake bounding it on 1ne
north and south. The location is
very advantageous one, for the HOS
nita] will be within convenient reach
Of the largest industrial plants OF
Baton Rouge, as also close to the
train transport, where patients COM
ing from far distances may save mucn
time in getting to the hospital.
When the sisters first agreed to
come to Baton Rouge, they proposed
to erect a building that would not
cost more than 100000 with furnish
ings and all equipment included: When
the Mother Superior of the Monroe
Hospital came to Baton Rouge and
saw the possibilities and the dire need
for a real up to date institution, she
Immediately changed her plans ana
began to figure in the hundreds OF
thousands Of dollars.
On the 1st of October the contract
was let for the building Of the hos
pital at the initial cost of $500 600,
exclusive of equipment and furnish"
ings The entire building will not be
completed at once but only what is
necessary for the immediate needs
Of the community. When the first
unit is completed it will have a ca
pacity of one hundred patients ;, inc
plan is 50 arranged that the building
may be enlarged to meet all future
demands. When completed the Hos
pital will have cost s500,0oO.

THE HOUSE OF KORNMEYER.

The demolition of the building of
the Kornmeyer Furniture Company to
make way for the construction OF a
handsome two story brick calls to
mind that this firm is numbered
among the very few that were known
to Baton Rouge previous to the Civil
War. 1t was established by Mr.. Jacob
Kornmeyer who came here during the
early "ffties' and not long after
wards commenced business in the
building now occupied by Lehman's
Seed Store and who by industry,
thrift and close attention to business
soon became one Of our principal mer-
chants.
Succeeding marvelously and finding
his business had grown to dimensions
requiring more space about thirty
years ago he purchased the property
now about to have its general ap-
lpearance changed, demolished the on
lly residence thereon and had con-
structed the building about to be re-
moved. In this connection It might
be of historical interest to state that
1.-The dwelling on the property in ques-
ton was that in which General Phile-
. mon Thomas who commanded tho
citizen body that captured the fort
land expelled the Spanish troops from
Baton Rouge resided and in which he
ldied.
The Kornmeyer Furniture Company
has never been out of the family as
. upon the death Of its founder his SON.
Iin-law, Mr.. julius Bahlinger, conduct
led its affairs ably and well until re-
= nved in a great measure by his
bright young sons, who are among
:, Jour most progressive young mer-
}, chants. Nevertheless Daddy" has not
- been altogether superseded as he may
= be seen during all business hours as

way is to have a frontage on St
y Ferdinand of 106 feet by a depth o:
1923 feet along America street, is to b.

r. The success which has attended tn
as House Of Kornmeyer is reward 0
to honesty, integrity, industry and Thrift
for which its proprietors from grand
. father down have been noted.

THE LIBRARY.

Since the library is located up

Church and Florida Streets II mas
neat and we'll ventilated quarters.
Tho number of "desk readers" how
evar. have fallen off slightly. This is
due perhaps because since the move
the library is upstairs and it is not as
convenient for folks who have only a
short while to read to get up there
and because also that a number Il
those who read around the tables are
strangers and don't know that the H.
brarv is on a second floor.
Borrowers Of books are as numerous
AZ ever and there is an increase IN the
number of juvenile readers since
school opened.
The committee is taking renewals
Of subscriptions for the library. This
system must be used another year as
tho city can not yet take care OF a
library alone. There is a proposition
to be put before the peoples however
and when bond issue will be soor
voted upon for other municipal
improvements a library will be IN
cluded.
To meet present needs, however, thf
committee must 60 out for subscrlp
