 Men of Louisiana 
 Cartooned.

 Beginning Monday afternoon, the Item- will publish daily a 
 new feature which will interest the business men of New Orleans. 
 The feature is an original and novel one in the South, and will 
 carry amusement into commercial circles, promising many a 
 hearty laugh among the friends and acquaintances of the promi- 
 nent gentlemen put before the public in a new light. 
 
 These gentlemen will be cartooned — not maliciously, but 
 facetiously, and with such consummate skill that their importance 
 as commercial factors will be demonstrated humorously, but 
 pointedly. Every city has what people call “magnates.” These 
 men are always found in the front ranks of progress. They are 
 what Tom Lawson calls Henry H. Rogers of Standard 'Oil fame 
 — “piston rods” of commerce. New Orleans is not lacking in 
 this class of pushers, and their motto is always “Onward — -Never 
 Backward.” The Item's daily cartoons will picture in charac- 
 teristic style cotton factors, bankers, transportation officials, 
 brokers, merchants and semi-public and men otherwise in the 
 public eye. These men are not breaking into the limelight be- 
 cause they are notoriety-seekers, but the Item will introduce 
 them day by day, because they have done and are still doing 
 something for the upbuilding of the whole New South. 
 
 Item readers can not afford to miss this forthcoming series of 
 cartoons, depicting uniquely men of everyday affairs. The car- 
 toonist has studied his subjects and will bring out their salient 
 points, characteristically expressed in pen strokes. Our readers 
 will enjoy the rare treat which is coming, therefore they will do 
 well to purchase scrapbooks and file away the Item’s cartooned 
 men. 
 
 These lively sketches will appear on the editorial page. The 
 men selected are types of activity in various lines, and are ex- 
 amples of the old, old tale, the “survival of the fittest.”
