CO, candies and confessions, heavy

and grocers' sundries. These goods ar
rive direct from the manufacturers and
producers, so that every condition is
fulfilled by the management to keep
prices down to the very lowest level
of jobbers' cost, and as consequence

: forts Of the most aggressive CO 'eti-
tion.

try. The J. w. Kibler Co. keeps men

county and has been a real estate deal
er for ten years. Besides buying and
selling real estate, Mr.. Hunter is in
a position to negotiate loans on the
best possible terms, and is always
ready to give advice concerning invest
ments, for which he makes no charge.
Mr.. Hunter exploited the residence lots
in High Point Park, every one OF which

the Fair Grounds property for resi-
Dental purposes. These lots in the
very nature of things are splendid and
highly profitable investments, for NeWS
berry is growing constantly in import
ance as a trade and manufacturing
centre and in population. This means
constant expansion and a demand for
residences, and no location offers
greater advantages than the Fair
Ground subdivision, being easily &C
cessible and in healthy section of the
town. The residences already found
on this subdivision indicate its future
possibilities as a residence section and
illustrate in concrete form the wis
dom of an investment in this locality
Mr.. Hunter does a general real estate
business negotiating the purchase and
sale of farm and town property for
which a reasonable commission is
charged. He is to be commended for
his enterprise in promoting home
building, for enterprise in this direc-
tion makes for a greater Newberry
with the most modern homes and their
comforts and conveniences.

WILLIAM JOHNSON & son.
Hardware, Tools and Paints.

By it's complete stocks, which COW
ers the entire range of household and
farm needs in hardware supplies, and
by its progressive and thoroughly re-
liable. methods, the William Johnson
establishment has eXerted pronounced
influence and achieved valuable results
as trade builders, all Of which have
increased NeWbeTry's popularity as a
trade centre and advanced its prestige
as source Of supply along progress
siye and permanent lines. Since the
inception of this business many years
ago it has been the policy of its man
agement to always be ready to sup
ply promptly the needs Of the builder,
the mechanic, the farmer, the house
keeper and the property owner, and, as
new devices and appliances are COM
ing on the market every day it has
been the aim to secure the very lat
est and best of these ideas in order
that the patrons of the establishment
would be provided quickly with any
thing that meant a benefit in the say
ing of time, labor and money For
these reasons the William Johnson q
Sons store can in the strictest sense
be called a progressive enterprise, its
stocks containing such variety OF
price and quality as to maintain buy
ing opportunities that are uneXcelled.
This characteristic of fidelity to popu-
lar needs is not without recognition
and reward, for stocks and patronage
continue to increase right along, like
wise the popularity Of the establish
ment as a reliable source of supply.
The stocks carried abound in standard
productions, which are the same IN
quality and price the country over,
and comprise full and complete lines
of domestic hardware, mechanics and
gardners' tools, cutlery, guns and am
munition, farm supplies, and the
thousand and one articles to be found
in every first-class hardware establish
ment. This concern carries constant
ly full line of Diamond Edge tools,
a leader among all mechanics, Sher-
win-W Williams paints and oils and Du-
pont powder.
AS has been stated, the lnceptlon oI
this business dates back to the time
when the memory of man runneth not.
In 1878 it was taken over by Peoples
& Johnson, and in 1888 Mr.. Johnson
became the sole owner, taking in his
son, Thomas P. Johnson seven years
ago. VIM. Johnson is the treasurer
of the James D. Nance Camp, &. v,
and has the distinction Of being a son
of the only lady living in Newberry
, county at this time who had son IN
the Civil War. He represents COM
bination Of business and executive
ability and pronounced practical eX-
perience in the hardware line, both OF
which together maintain constantly
the most favorable market conditions
and a service that is ever reliable,
liberal, progressive and accommodate
ing.
