THE MANNING HARDWARE co.
August 1907.


We are closing the tenth year and
entering upon the eleventh OF our busl-
ness life in the Town of Manning, we
feel somewhat proud of the material
progress of our town and of our aid IN
making it commercial center, len
wars AGO there was not an exclusive
line of goods handled here with the
possible exception OF dregs, but within
that time nearly all the new business
has been single lines, we. now have ex-
elusive grocery stores, exclusive dry
Goods stores, exclusive hardware stores,
the old general line store still continues
to do thriving business. while the eX-
elusive lines have brought large addl-
tional cash trade, formerly but light
cash trade was done during the sum-
mer months. The old-timer used to
boast that he could save his expenses
out of purchases for cash to the amount
of fifty dollars by going to the city
(Charleston) to trade and have a little
money left to see the sight with. Ihls
old fellow returned several years ago
with his money ir his pocket minus the
sightseeing amount, which he declared
# would have been q pity to bring
back, saying that he could save enough
at home-trading to take a pleasant trip
with.
In our line the years have improved
our facilities for catering to the trade
most wonderfully. we have added nu-
merous lines to our stock, and our bet
ter knowledge and understanding ac-

clad to have them call that we may get
better acquainted, and we will welcome
them and give them any information
at our command.
We are particularly anxious to show
our goods and to be afforded an oppor-
tnnity to demonstrate just what we can
do Our store is not filled with high
nriced goods only we have all classes

as well as one for dollar.
Each year we try and bring our stock
