In addition, immense area of harbor frontage is still capable of development, through the dredging of lateral ship canals and channels. It is estimated that there Is 96,000 nores which can be made available in this manner. The land is low and; level, and easily convertible to commercial usage. On account of the rise and fall of the river.

It was found necessary to build a ship lock, in order to adjust the levels in the canal and the inner harbor, between the Gulf and the river. New Orleans, not content to rest upon its laurels, now plans to create an entirely new channel between the inner harbor and the Gulf. Located 110 miles from the mouth of the river, silt and current have created a problem which has somewhat increased navigation difficulties. Since 1839 South Pass, the site of the Eads Jetties, has served as a thirty-one-foot channel, and for some years the government has been attempting to create a thirty-five-foot channel through Southwest Pass, but has been unable to get the desired depth.

This gives Central Manufacturing industries an advantage impossible to over miles from the river, ine pro- nnaod rhnnnp Rtrike the gulf many miles eastward of the estimate. It was the men who have made such a great success of the Chl- 'cago Union Stockyards, the Cen mouth of the Mississippi Kiver. it is estimated that 90 per cent of the vessels bound for New Orleans approach from the East, and the new channel would effect a saving of twenty-four hours in running time for vessels coming from the East.

It will also eliminate the slit and 1 current problems of the Federal assist tral Manufacturing District of Chicago, and the Chicago Junction Railroad, that are back of the Los Angeles enterprises of similar names. They realized that this BY rSO KXORPP President Southwest State Bank. ''he rapid development of the froup of enterprises recently established In Los Angreles for the furtherance of a live-stock market and Industrial center Is truly remarkable. The group comprises the Southwest State Bank. Southwest Cattle Loan Company, Los Angeles Union Stock Yards, Central Manufacturing District of Los Angeles and Los Angeles Junction Bail-way.

Industries organized on the scale of the Union Stock Yarks and Central Manufacturing District, must. In order to attain heir greatest efflcimcy, have closely associated with them a strong financial institution. It was natural then that when the Stock Yards Company was organized that men fuly ac-acqualnted with live-stock financing should become associated with the enterprise. It was also natural that men familiar with mercantile banking 6hould become closely affiliated with the Central Manufacturing District, and as both of these enterprises were being brought into existence by the same Jveople, it was inevitable that all should be brought together in a Closely associated group. In order to give a proper understanding of the immensity of this undertaking and the Influence it is bound to have not only on Los Angeles or Southern California, but on the entire Southwestern part of the United States, it is necessary to briefly outline each separate unit of the group and to go into the hlHtory of a similar proposition that has proven wonderfully successful in Chicago.

Fifteen years ago the Chicago Central Manufacturing District, bow one of the world's greatest centers of industry, was represented by a single factory. Now there are nearly 300 powerful industries humming with their daily activities on the territory surrounding the lone plant that converted Chicago's cabbages Into sauerkraut. VXIOX STOCKYARDS Everyone knows of the magnitude of the Chicago Union Stockyards, but some may not know that linking these two enterprises the Chicago Union Stockyards and the Central Manufacturing District -in more ways than one is the Chicago Junction Railway. A recent magazine article says: "It is one of the greatest freight carriers In all the world if not the greatest and It carries its loads with the greatest dispatch. The live-stock and meat products of the stockyards Industries perishables all form a good share territory needed just such facili ties.

"The business' of thls wonderful system, is freight freight first, last and all the time. "It lives and works in terms of freight how to originate it and how to handle it quickly and cheaply for the producer. To take the Junction Railway out of Chicago would be like taking the mainspring out of a watch; to add this system to Los Angeles Is to make more industrial wheels go 'round, "New wheels, more wheels, new business, more business, new freight, more freight, new industries and more Industries and prosperity for everyone is what "this system has done for Chicago and will do for Los Angeles.

STOCKYARDS BANK Every bank located, in a stock raising district finds it necessary, at some time, to make use of the services of the "Stockyards" bank and it is well known that a large percentage of the business of "stockyards" banks comes from other banks. It is therefore necessary that the bank located at the yards must be prepared to serve the entire territory tributary to the yards.

It must be prepared to give an intelligent collection service, for Here from one firm In one store you can select actually everything yon need for your building. No need to run around town.
