A catalog of assorted textiles and garments with prices. Items include trimmings, sheeting, white and red napkins, towels, ladies handkerchiefs and gloves, wool pants and vests, jackets, corsets, hats, umbrellas, parasols, and men’s and women’s shoes. Prices range from a few cents per yard to several dollars per item, reflecting a broad merchant offering.
The Progress argues for more police patrols in Shreveport especially in the fifth and sixth wards to protect women and children from tramps and vagrants. It criticizes council inaction and waste on underground culverts while noting recent daytime robbery in the fifth ward and calling for protection of homes and livelihoods amid growing population and crime.
The Progress extends its heartiest greeting to Mr J H Fullilove Sr on his sixty birthday anniversary. It lauds temperate Christian life and virtuous conduct, noting his memory and footprint on time. The piece also references Alexander Stephens and Senator-elect Uriah in a general civic context.
