Letter TO C.. J. s. Brooker, Bambers, 5. 6.

Dear Sir: We suspect you'd like the
tale, how woman beat two hardware
dealers in Girard, Pa.
We tried our best to get those men to
sell Devoe lead-and-Zinc in that bright
town: and failed. Reluctantly took Mrs.
Z R Bowman, druggist.
They said they couldn't sell paint tor
more than $1.25 gallon. Mrs Bowman
can. She has sold about all the paint
that has been sold there since.
She knew Devoe; had sold our artist S
materials. Had some sense and force
besides: she easily learned that cheap is
dear in paint. and told the people.
Mr. Burt Young bought a gallon Devoe
for rooms that had always taken a gallon
Of other paint: had half left.
Mr. t H Hiler, jeweler, painted Devoe
and says it SoeS further-no particulars
Mr. John Hanna, grocer, thought ii
expensive before he bought it; brought
back nearly half Of his paint, anC' said it
was the cheapest job he ever hau.
Mrs Bowman reports universal salts
faction. So much for cheap-palnt town
with q bright woman in it.
Yours truly

A Crate Factory Suggested.

To whom it may concern: From the
experience the writer has had III the
manufacture of fruit and vegetable pack
ages, the continued increase and demand
for such wares, the conveniences and
abundance of Old field pine, poplar and
gum timber to this place, the unex-
celled advantages that Bamberg enjoys in
freight rates over the Southern Railway,
leads me to believe that $4,000 or $4,000
invested in factory for the manufacture
of packages of all kinds, if fproperly man
aged, will not only pay for itself the first
twelve months but pay a very handsome
dividend, besides open up market tor
this class of timber, a great deal OF which
is in the way Of the farmer and is hard to
get rid of, but will give employment to
twenty or more men and boys and bring
from $4,000 to $4,000 dollars in cash to
the county, the most of which will be put
in circulation at home.
For the last three or four years, this
and Barnwell county have paid out over
$4,000 for asparagus and cantaloupe
crates and baskets There is always de,
mand for crates, drums, barrels, and bas'
kets of some kind for marketing fruits
and vegetables. Besides, if carefully man
AGED. it is an all around cash business
therefore perfectly safe. The same veneer
ing machines, ETC., that will pare out this
lumber from round blocks will get Out
material for boxes, baskets, barrels, drums
and crates.
The writer will not only take severa
shares Of stock in an enterprise OF til:
kind, but will give all his experience ii
keeping up the machinery and the genera
labor and skilled management ot the busl
ness, at a very nominal compensation tol
his entire time and eXertions He is now
making a good living for himself ant
family, with offers that will pay double
what he would charge to run this factory
He expects to make Bamberg his future
home, therefore he is willingto link him
self with the enterprising men of thu
place, and assures them that he will bt
| ioval to the trust placed on him, If 81
