Piggly-Wiggly Store
to Open Here Soon
Bogalusa is to have one of the lat
est and most novel stores in the coun
try—the Piggly Wiggly Stores, which
have attracted great attention in
every city where they have been
opened. Details for the opening of
the store are now being arranged.
If you have never visited a Piggly
Wiggly store you are certain to do
so when it opens here, and after you
once do your shopping there it is be-
lieved that the novelty of the store
and the saving you will make will in-
duce you to become a regular patron.
Each customer waits on himself.
Special fixtures are required; no
clerks are employed, and usually the
stores do not maintain a delivery ser-
vice. The Piggly Wiggly stores han-
dle groceries only.

Here sistet daughter or sweetheart
gather in the gym and girls' clubs
aftér work or school. Here, as well
as all over the world, the Y. W. C. A.
is a veritable "House of Friendli
ness."
A group ,tri girls, had been in every
room of the association club house,
peered in every nook and corner, and
thl# was the verdict: "It's just like
a real home ought to be."
Is it a "small" thing to help sup
ply ideals for real homes?
The Y. W. C. A. is for the people
and of the people, and it ought to be
by the people.
This is the first general appeal the
Y. W. C. A. has ever made for funds.
So, walk up ladies and gentlemen,
the cause is good and just.
Who will be the first to give?
Don't wait to be asked.
Just jump in the band wagon ; we'll
go with a "hip, hurrah," and keep
up that record which has made the
whole nation sit up and take notice
what Bogalusa can do, and always
