Help Yourself by Helping Us.

We hope the friends of The Rec
ord, when they come to town to do
their trading, will patronize the busi-
ness houses that advertise in this
paper. Remember that without these
liberal merchants, bankers and other
enterprising business men, the price
of subscription would be at least So
a year for such paper as The Rec
ord. You'll find, as a rule, that the
men who advertise are wide-awake
and on the alert and can give you
better bargains than those who do
not advertise. This applies not only
to Kingstree, but many live and up
to-date business men Of Lake City,
Scranton and Greelyville recognize
the pulling power Of an ad in The
Record. tt
