Columbia q. Mule Market.

Some Surprising Figures. The
Mule Business One of the Largest
and Most important.
The State.
Fifteen years ago the bulk Of mules
sid in this section were sold by the
stock raisers themselves. Drovers, as
they were called, would bunch up their
stock and drive through or ship. South
to the cottol country, generally making
some coed town their headquarters and
retailing out their mules. Nowadays
the business is conducted in an entirely
different way. The breeder ships his
stock to the wholesale markets and they
are sold to the mule merchants who bay
them for their regularly established
places of business. The mule man of
today buys his mules and places them
on sale just as the merchant buys his
goods and places them in his store for
sale. About 13 years ago the Gregory
Brothers, then doing a good mule busi-
ness at Lancaster, S. c., seeing an op-
portunity and believing in the future Ct
Columbia, oIe1ed retail business in
this city on Plain street. Being sup
ported by a strong concern it withstood
the financial strains Of '93, which told
on so many mall lines Of business, and
gradually grew until the year 1899 when
it was decided to enlarge the business
which resulted in the forming Of cor
poration known as the Gregory -Rhea
Mule Company This concern is now
known far and wide as being one Of
some magnitude. They do All extensive
business selling mules by the hundreds
and in dollars and cents counting way
I up in the thousands. They also handle
in connection,quite large number Of
vehicles. Mr.. W. T. Gregory, presi-
dent Of the company, is a resident Of
Lancaster, S. c.. where he was born and
raised. Mr.. Z. j. Harper, vice presl-
dent, is resident Of Columbia and one
of our2most substantial citizens. Mr.
Jno. w. Conder. secretary and treasurer
as well as manager, is we'll known i'll
Columbia, was raised in Columbia, but
got his early training in the office Of
the Gregory Brothers at Lancaster. He
is known as man that represents his
goods just as they are.
Mr.. Gregory is also the promoter and
president of sale stables doing business
at Lancaster, S. c., Bishopville, S. c.,
Timmonsville, S. c., and Charleston, S.
c., and is considered one of the largest
dealers in live stock in the State.
Their buyer, Mr.. J. NJ. Hood, also one
Of the stockholders, spends most Of his
time in the wholesale markets looking
for bargains for their different places.
He has plenty of gray hairs on his head
and It's said can shut one eye and size
mn a mule as quick as anyone.

The fact that It's the best
