About This Item
[N.p., likely near Bogalusa, La, 1914. Very good.. [5]pp., on a single folded sheet of cardstock. Oblong 12mo. Some toning and dust-soiling, light chipping to one edge. A seemingly unrecorded promotional item touting the economic advantages of Bogalusa, Louisiana, located near the Mississippi border in the northeastern portion of the state. The population of the town is given as "10,000, of which 6500 are whites and 3500 colored." The text primarily promotes the lumber industry, as well as the mills, railroads, schools, hotels, and other amenities offered by the town. One item brags that "Every house occupied by a white person, in Bogalusa, has modern sanitary conveniences and electric lights." The last two lines highlight Bogalusa's "fine Base Ball Park" and that fact that "There were 363 babies born in Bogalusa in the year 1913" (the only date listed anywhere on the item). No copies of the present publication in OCLC - just a similarly titled but more official publication produced by the Bogalusa Chamber of Commerce a dozen years later.
