See tie advertisement of the Sumter Dry
Goods Company. The stock IS up-so-date
in every respect, as is shown by the crowds
Of ladies in the store every day. You have
missed great deal if you have not seen

but the simple truth to say that such extra
ordinarily good values for the money have
never before been offered.
Perhaps many of our readers dc not
realize what veritable hive of industry the
Manning Hosiery Mill is, and when We
strolled over there we realized for the first
time what the mill was doing for the town
OF Manning. The mill at present gives
employment to nearly fifty hands, and, in
conversation with Mr.. Meters. manager. we
learned that large number Of machines
were daily expected to augment the output.
at present the output is 100 dozen hose a
day, and with the additional machinery
the mill will be able to turn out about 100
dozen per day. Of course, with the increase
in facilities the force will be increased and
an increase IN force means an increase in
the money to be distributed amcny our
tradesmea. If We had q few more in
dustrles of a like nature, We would soon see
see our town growing at rapid pace.
