S. A. RGBY.
In making our rounds, the first place we
dropped into was S. a. Rgby's, and after
finding pair of pantaloons to keep the
chilly blasts from our limbs, We stood up
| bv the stove and feasted our eyes on the
material he has on his shelves ID his gro
cery department, for a jam-up Christmas
dinner. and while in this end Of the store
glance into his ware room made Us wonder
if, after all, the predictions of hard times IS
not dream, because there was, 1t seemed
to Us, everything that man requires to i've
upon, and Bill Trescott, with beamlng
countenance and high massive forehead,
ready to serve the necessaries of life to the
purchaser. Rlgbys wareroom is COM
plete commissary and contains enough
groceries to keep US all full and happy.
We could not stay at one place always, so
on our way out we glanced at the show
cases containing all the leading styles Oh
neckwear, the very hing for gil to give
her fellow, because if she gets c.ose enough
to him to give it to him ID the neck, there
is not apt to be any 'foolin IN the bnsl-
ness. a pretty necktie from pretty glrl
20 her fellow, is almost as binding as ring
would be from the chap himself. Rigby's
shelves contain full and complete stock
of everything that can be proftably han
died in general store. He keeps the
leading styles in dress goods, clothing,
hats and shoes, and makes boast of not
being undersold by any one.
Rigby for several years has prided him
self on being the Santa Claus of Manning,
and his center tables show that he pro.
poses to hold to his reputation. On his
tables there is every conceivable toy one
can think of, and a selection can be made
with all esse, for the icssnt, child, boy or
girl, youth, maid, man, woman, father,
mother, grandmother, grandfather, sister,
brother, teacher, preache: or county editor.
Besides having corps Of very attable
clerks to make your stsy in the store pleas
ant, Miss Olivia Ingram presldes with
grace over the dress goods and ladies' de-
oartment Go and take look at Rlgby's
Christmas selections.
We JENKINsoN.
We next cross over to the hustlIng bus
ting. pushing and enterprising W: E.
Jenkinson, and find him preparing from
his new invoices an advertisement for HE
TNEs, while his clerks who are not busy
selling goods,are opening up and marking,
getting ready for the purchaser to make the
call. Jenkinson's store is an emporium
which would do credit to much larger
town, and IS the result of a thorough and
an intelligent mercantile management.
Jenkinson started out small like most
successful men, and by judiclous use OF
printers Ink and constant watch on his
business Re has brought himself to be re-
gsrded by the business world, as one of the
best business men II central or lower
South Carolina. One Of the great addl-
tons to this finely arranged place OF busl-
ness is the millinery department in charge
of Miss Laura Beckham. Here is one
CT those enticing places that causes wo-
man S heart to leap with JOY and man to
wear patched pants; it IS here where
man promises to let his wife 20 to revel in
shapes, ribbons, feathers, and flowers and
then when she does 90, and the bill is sent
in he casts o mournful look upon his
threadbare coat and picks at the patch on
his breeches. while he begs an indulgence
or discount, and then when the bill is re-
ceipted he goes among his friends with his
troubles and the extravaganza Of his home
in these hard times. It is not only IN Jen-
kinson's millinery that inducements are
offered to part with your lucre; why, the
man has trap set in every part OF his
store to catch your change. A look through
the various departments will convince any
one that his advertisements in HE TINES
are no ghost stories, but they are based
upon solid business facts, which he oacks
up every time he is called on
Jenkinson is al up-to-date business man
who believes in having what the people
want and at prices which will reach their
means. he was the irst IN town to cut
prices and place in the public prints what
be would sell certain articles at, which
showed that he not only defed conpetl-
ton, but rather courted it. Has he sue
ceeied? Remember how Jenkinson started
and the backset be received by the fire of
1896, then see his store today-shelVes
packed, counters piled up and tables t1llac
to overhowing.
Jenkinson stands in the commercial
rating world Gin solid condition with
business houses from every market in the
United States soliciting his patronage. The
intelligent reader will discern at glance
that man who has raised himself up to
the plane where the markets OF the world
are thrown open to him and bid him enter,
is safe man to do business with and
Jenkinson is such man. he invites
everybody to see what nice things ne mas 70
make merry Christmas.
