fëoldt Paper Mill
Made Trial Run
Thursday evening a trial run
made by The Charles Boldt
Paper Mill in this City and one
of the large nine-ton digestors j
was disgorged of its rice straw,
which had been cooked to the
point of being converted into a
finished product. A sample of
the paper was brought to ■ our
office, for our inspection by one
of our citizens who happened to
be in the mill at the time the
trial ran was made. Later on
daring the evening we had
pteasure again in visiting thejb
Plant, but when we reached
there all of the pulp had al-.
ready been converted _ into
paper and we failed to witness :
the machinery in motion._ Two
other digestors were busily re- '
volving under an immense
steam pressure, which takes |
about seven hours, so we were i
informed, and from now on Mr. j

to keep the

The mill will be an exact
duplicate of the present one

the same number of men. It
will utilize the remaining by
product of the Great Southern

Grounds Broken for
High School Building
i
Ground was broken and the
excavation begun this week by
Caldwell Bros, of Abbeville on
the elegant new High School
structure to be erected in this
City for the patrons of the pub
lie schools of this Parish. The
contract was awarded loss than
three weeks ago and material is
now being brought to the site
where this magnificent modern
seat of education will be erected,
A spur railroad track from
spur
the corner of Pershing, is also
under course of erection by the
Frisco Lines in order to facili
tate in the movement of the
brick and other material direct
fro, m the cars to the ground.
This will not only save a great
deal of time and money in
transportation cost, but facili
tate the contractors in making
progress with the work. Ac
cording to the contract and
specifications the successful bid
ders pledged themselves to
have the building ready for the
classes during the latter part of
August 1922, and unless incle
ment weather or other inter
ferences ensue, we feel certain
the School Board will not be
disappointed.
During the early part of the
week Supt. Lloyd Porter re
ceived several samples of
pressed brick from the factories,
TRAVELERS ON S. P. TO
VIEW ELECTRIC SIGN.
For several years the senti
ment of a few business men of
New Iberia were that a nice
electric sign, indicating the J
name of the City should be erec-i
ted near the Sou i hern Pacific
Depot, so that persons traveling
East and West could get an
idea that New Iberia was not
only on the map, but up and do
ing and appreciated the value
of advertising. Recently Hon.
Albert Estorge again called the
attention of the directorship to
the needs of the electrically il
luminated display, pointing out
its advantages as an advertising
medium. He appointed on the
committee to map out a plan
of action, Messrs. C/ A. Barnes,
Alphonse Davis and L. L. Ber
trand. These gentlemen soon
got together and closed with
Mr. R. M. Reeves, for a sign to
be erected in between the
freight and passenger depot, at
a cost of $300.00, and within a
few weeks that section of New
Iberia will be ornamented ac
cordingly. We understand the
electric letters will be fully two
feet, containing the name "New
Iberia." Directly underneath
in nicely painted letters, so that
it can be easily read will be the
following inscription: "Queen
City of the Teche." "Three of
the Largest Rock Salt Mines in
the World." "The Only Rice
Straw Paper Mill in the U. S."
and "New Industrial Plants Ex
empted from Local Taxation."
This should prove effective ad
vertising and the cost is a mere
bagatelle to the benefit we will
derive from it. At night while
the trains are now passing
through, travelers have to in
quire what City this is, because
i| is almost impossible for them
to see the sign on the top of the
S. P. depot An electric sign
can be read from long distances
and will make an
upon every stranger
it. While penning this story, it

for the inspection of the School
( Board and on Wednesday a
number of our citizens who are
interested in the building, were
] invited to meet with the mem
bers to suggest just what color
j would be the most appropriate
for the facing of the bunding,
( Cream and colored brick were
piled upon one another, just as t
though cemented to give the
full effect. After a general dis
cussion it was the
unammous
decision of the committee pres
ent that the colored brick with
white mortar was preferable
as it will create a rustic appear
ance. In fact it was com
mented upon that within the
past five years, many public
buildings were built with cream
brick and for that reason we
should give the colored the
preference. The brick were
tested and found durable, in
fact they are impervious to
water and aside from that are
artistic and pleasing to the eye,
and even cost a few dollars a
thousand less than the cream
building material.
The members of the School
Board deserve a great deal of
credit for getting this building
under course of erection and the
patrons and citizens generally
look forward to its early com
pletion.

had we disembarked, of course
we would have returned to our

we remained there, we wouldn't
have erected a Chas.Boldt Paper

what some capitalist may drop
off to look around and then re

of real estate, or in building a
