THE r. B. LoRYEA DRUG STORE.
Here we are at the r. B. Loryea
Drug Store, sign Of the golten mortar.
Isaac NJ. Loryea proprietor. This es-
tablishment is a.household word in Clar-
endon county and the adjoining coun-
ties, because it's proprietor is an up-to'
date business man who believes in the
proper use of printers ink and the
thoroughness of keeping up his stock.
Loryea never does things half way,
therefore he does not look at the cost,
what he wants is the best of every
thing. He has adopted that course
from the beginning, and the reason
his prescription business is so large is
because ofhis employing only the best
of pharmacists and the keeping only OF
the purest drugs. Loryea will not have
anything shoddy about him: This is
mis- pride Or we might call it hobby.
His store is thoroughly equipped with
everything in the drug and medicine
line and there is no drug store in this
section of the State where better ser
vice can he had. While Loryea him
self does not resemble Santa Claus in
appearance, yet his store looks like
they have had dealings with one
another. There is to be found here
all kinds Of handsome and useful ar
ticles for presents, there is to be found
here an opportunity to select the
incest kind of reading matter and there
is also to be found here anything that
a first class city drug store will handle.
JESKINso's DRY GOODS.
W. E. Jenkinson whose ambition it is
to be king of the dry goods business we
find on the corner busy as bee and
his large corps of salesmen and sales
ladies all working to reduce his i'm
mense stock before the new year sets
in. When Jenkinson makes pull to
reduce his stock, prices do not stand IN
the way, and it is fact that goods are
being sold without any consideration
for profit. The sole idea is to tighten
as much as possible this big stock. 1t
is worth trip to Manning to visit this
immense establishment, it is needless
for us to enumerate its contents, be-
cause everybody knows Jenkinson's
store is the equal of any department
store in Charleston or Columbia. Miss
Coppedge in the millinery department
and her assistants are being kept work
ing day and night to meet the holiday
demand upon them and the opportunity
for selecting pretty millinery at little
cost was never better. Miss Osborn's
dress making department is without a
doubt thebee-hive of Manning, in it there
a number of ladies are kept constant
ly busy making up suits such as have
never been turned out in this town be-
fore, and Notwithstanding this Jenkin-
son has his business so arranged that
he can handle twice the business and
give the people prompt attention.
FOLD RELIABLE.
Across the street on the opposite
corner is "The Old Reliable'' S. A.
Rigby, whose store cannot be excelled
for it's management and polite atten-
ton of it's employees. Mr.. Turner who
is in charge OF the dry goods depart
ment has demonstrated what can be
done by putting up-to-date methods in
to a business, and by putting in the
latest of everything in drygoods and
dress goods lines. Rigby has built
business. He has won
big reputation for handling shoes OF
the best manufacture, and his clothing
stock is place where good selection
can be had. The rule to keep first
class goods and sell them at small
profits has been a success with Mr..
Rigby ard as it becomes known his
trade increases. Rigby never lets a
man or woman 90 away dissatisfied
which is great thing in mercantile
business. It was he who put his
shoulder to the wheel this season and
entered the cotton buying field so that
our farmers could get more for their
cotton. Rigby did not want the cotton,
but he believed like US. that If the
merchants here wanted the farmers
trade, they would have to protect the
market, and with that end in view, he
came into competition and broke up
The monopoly. At Rigby's store be-
sides clothing the man, woman and
child, his grocery department. will feed
;hem. Here anything in the grocery
inc can be bad, and we are sure that
it will pay christmas dinner hunters to
visit this store.
