South Louisiana Postcard
Era: 1940 Curt Teich
Description: Legend of the Spanish Moss in Louisiana

Rough, old meanie that he was,
From Spain came Don Gorez Goz.
As he cast a wary eye about
A pretty lass espied this lout.

He bought her - this Indian Maid -
For a cake of soap, a yard of braid.
The grieving beauty fled with cause
For tarnished braid indeed is was.

Gorez pursued both hard and fast
Until she climbed a tree at last.
As Gorez followed her he leered.
How those branches caught his beard!

The beard remains, but Gorez has gone
And still the tale goes on and on.
What an ominous warning it should be
To see Spanish Moss hang from a tree.

A cake of soap and a yard of braid
May be enough to win some maid.
Look, though, swain, and make thou sure
The braid is clean, untarnished - pure!
- P.M.L.

Description: BOGALUSA
Plant of Great Southern Lumber Company Refuse Burner
Born, October 1st 1908.
Died, July 4th, 1924.
Every day during my life of sixteen years I consumed daily 560 cords of waste material or a total of 2,688,000 cords. I cost $75,000 but my fire has destroyed $1,344,000 worth of what was formerly waste. The complete utilization of the sawmill refuse in the manufacture of paper has my fire forever extinguished.
