OUR HUMBLE THANKS.

friends and customers our humble
thanks foc the liberal and ever in
creasing support they have given me
in the past and trust we may merit Il
continuance of same as we are in a
better position to give better bar
gains this fall than ever before.
Two years ago We started business
in i very modest way beneath the
shadow of the creates merchants in
Clarendon county, bat with all of
these great mercantile giants tower
ing above Us we have worked up a
trade that merchant Of greater
years and experience might Justly
feel proud of Notwithstanding the
fact that our entire stock of mer-
chandise was destroyed by fire last
December, during the very cream OF
the season, but Ph9nix-like, we
sprank from the ashes in time to
capture the spring trade. But the
question comes up, How can such
great things be done in so short q
time ." The answer is apparent to
all: From the beginning we DECIDED
to sell goods for the cash and ior the
cash only, chosing rather to sell our
goods at a small profit for the cash
than to sell them on time at enor-
nous profits and wait for the money,
and the result is we sell Il grea5 many
goods at very small profits and at the
end of the season when we take stock
we find that we have done some
thing for ourselves and accomplished
great deal for the public in keeping
a cheap cash store where they can
spend their little cash earnings to a
greater advantage.
Now, friends, we wish to talk to
you about the bargains we now have
