GOOD ADVERTISERS
Printers and Photographers are the
Towns Best Assets

A good. live, progressive photog-
rapher in any town does as much
good as any printing office, from the
| fact that they "show you,' and the
printer tells you about it. A printer
may write and attempt to picture a
certain beautiful street or building in
your mind in half column article,
but it has not the same or desired
effect as photograph There the
photographer shows you the goods
ton, and they believe then what they
see.
w. A. Bradley has been and is do
ing as much as any printing office to
advertise Greenville all over the
country. Last fall he sold 5000 souve-
mir postal cards of different public
buildings and streets, and he now has
an order for IA 900 more, which will
be out in few weeks. He is also
having published a new novelty in a
Souvenir Letter" of the Elks' Home
and Hebrew Temple, showing and
describing each building separate
Each book containing eight pictures
of the buildings, and space to write
the recipient a letter It must be
seen to be appreciated. They will
be on sale in a week or two. He will
also have few thousand more souve-
mir letters of street scenes and pub
lie buildings as soon as the trees are
in full bloom.
II you appreciate your home print
ers and photographers for what they
do for your town, then patronage
them, and your money will come
back to you in other channels.

The public roads leading into the
city from almost every direction de-
serve the attention of those who are
in charge The cemetery road has,
between the cemetery and city, mud
hole in it which should have long ago
been filled or bridged over so as TO
save the trouble and expense to the
travelling public which it has caused.
These matters should be looked after
by our supervisors, for there is moth
