"Mimuaugh's, on the corner; Min
naugh's on the square,n.is is the busiest
store in the Carolinas.. For years and
years John L. Mimnaugh has: been a
recognized leader among business men
of the capital of the State. When Mr..
Mimnaugh first began business in Co.
lumbia many, many years ago, he did
not possess as many of these worlds
goods as he does today; hut he had
the energy, the perseverance, the get
up-and-hustle, and today he owns and
controls one of the largest wholesale
and retail department stores in the,
South. Besides, he owns considerable
property in and around the city. He
is director in several banking insti-'
tutions. Every enterprise in which
Mr.. Mimnaugh is interested, is pros
pering and making money for its
stockholders.
In a few months now Mr.. MINI
naugh will sail for his old home in
Europe, where he will spend three
months on the soil Of his birth and OF
his childhood. Big hearted, whole
sould, generous to fault, there is no
man who has stronger personal
friendship than John L. Mimnaugh,
and his thousands of friends through
out the State will wish for him bon
voyage, pleasant sojourn and safe
return to South Carolina.
Enough of this; space will not per-
nit the writer to dwell further on this
important subject. We must get back
TO the Mimnaugh store, a veritable
palace; the store that abounds with
all that is grand and gorgeous inwear-
ing apparel for men, women and chill
dren; the store where your dollar does
double duty, and where there is}@al-
ways the hum of Satisfied customers.
Indeed, itis'a pleasure. to visit ythis
stores Fo the rich :. and poor alike,
there is always the most cordial greet
ing. The person who has only
nickle to spend receives the same at
tention here as does the person with
: his pockets stuffed with gree1baeks.
It is a haven ofrest to the weary and
balm for those who weep. Every
thing is sunshine, and gladness at the
the Mimnaugh store. ,..... .~
4 Everywhere You go, every depart
ment Of the store is brimfull of all
that is. newest and best in merchar-
disc, and every freight and express
brings new supply fresh from the
fashion and great bargain centres Of
this and other countries.
Never before in the history Of the
store has there been such an avalanche
Of irresistible values, such stunning
styles, such gorgeous arrays, as is now
to be seen at this popular establish.
ment. If its something to wear that
you are looking for you can always
find it for less money at Mimnaugh's
than anywhere else.
Another thing that makes the MIN
naugh store great is the mail order
department. Since the introduction
of this feature the business has stead
lily grown. So successfully hos the mail
order department been managed, that
hundreds of women who used to lose
two or three days going to Columbia
to make their selections, now stay at
home and order direct. The depart
meut is run by competent force.
Persons who have made the mail
order business a life study, and in
nearly every instance those who use
this method of buying, always obtain
the very best results. You don't have
to live in Columbia, neither do you
have to 60, to buy at Mlmnaughs.
Mr. Mimnaugh has as his manager,
Mr.. S. F. Weeks, a son of old Orange
burg, who has, by indefatigable en-
ergy and persistent effort, won for
himself an enviable reputation among
the people of his adopted city. He 1s
indeed the fright man In the right
place." Mr.. Weeks manages those
under him with peculiar grace and
ease, and he is the idol of his CO.
laborers.
To the people Of Lexington the
Mimnaugh store extends a sincere
aud cordial welcome at all times,
whether you want to buy or not.
