Houston's bank clearings
of $924,034,403. or $23G,W9,540
on record up to that time.
Such an unparalleled increase in the banking business of tiw e'.ty can
unprecedented business activity, It means that Houston is growing b\
bounds, tnat among: Texas cities the Bayou City is in a class by itself.
Within tlu- last year three new banks have been organized in Houston under the
new State banking* law, and tli^ presence of these is of course partially responsible
for tlie increase in clearings.
Each of these banks touches sections of the interior that have not heretofore
done iin extensive business with Houston, bringing increased collections and thus help-
ing to swell the grand total of the clearing house figures.
Thfn, Houston has experienced a year of remarkable prosperity in' all lines of
business.
The following figures furnished bv Mr. 13. Raphael, manager of the Houston
Clearing House, show th
e movement of
the Houston banks for each month during
the last commercial year.

Why LUZIANNE COFFEE is prominently
CHOICE.
More than 184,000,000 pounds of coffee conic to New Orleans
annually. We are here on the ground and have the first pick of
this immense importation, That's Why LUZIANNE'S Quality is
so High.
GOOD,
The French population of New Orleans long ago brought the
art of coffec roasting and making to the. highest point of perfection
so that New Orleans coffec is world famous. We have the sccret.
That's Why LUZIANNE COFFEE is so GOOD.
REFRESHING,
LUZIANNE is packed fresh and hot from the roasters and
grinders into air-tight cans thus preserving perfectly aroma, flavor
and strength. That's Why LUZIANNE COFFEE is so Refreshing.
? ECONOMICAL,
Coffee when over-roasted is charcoal like—tasteless. Xviien un-
der-roasted it is weak or worse,—ccrid. It takes an expert to know
when the exact point in roasting is reached so that the full strength
of every grain is uniformly developed and not a particlc of it lost.
We have the expert. Thai's Why LUZIANNE COFFEE Goes
so Far.
