ABBEViLLE'S BUSINESS MEN

Generally speaking the business
men of this little city are young
and ambitious they are willing at
all times to entertain any PROPOSE
ton that has for its purpose the
betterment and upbuilding of the
city. They extend a hearty wei
come to all newcomers who are
worthy of their consideration.
They are progressive and conserv-
alive, and are careful to do moth
ing hal would in any way reflect
upon the good name of the city.
This care and diligence is reflected
in the substantial and continuous
increase in the volume of the city's
traffic. Abbeville is growing rap
idly and judicious action is very
essential. The city is one of the
best governed municipalities in the
State and is continually being
pointed out as an example of what

Real Estate men are doing more
business and there is a greater de-
mand from the outside for our
property than ever before. This
is not a boom, but a substantial
growth and development that in
evitably follows advantages that
Abbeville enjoys. Business loca-
ton and residence property have
enhanced from ten to twenty per
cent, according to the location of
the property. Business property
in Abbeville can be bought for $40
to $50 front foot. Residence prop
erty for $40 to $40 front foot. 1t
is a proverbial fact that Abbeville
real estate never decreases, and all
indications show that Abbeville
property will double its present
value in a year or so.
In the city many modern I'M
provements have created a big de-
mand for central property, thereby
necessitating the town to expand

The foundation Of all in indus
trial and commercial prosperity is
a sound banking system prudcntly
and honestly administered.
1t has been said and said truly
that the financicrs Of Abbevillc and
Abbcvillc County have at all times
resisted the temptation to plunge
into hazardous and questionable
enterprises. Nevertheless there is
abundant evidence Of the liberal
policy of the directors Of their
banking institutions in the substan-
tial growth Of manufacturing and
commercial interests. No spcCu-
lation influence so to the swelling
Of the volume of the banking bust
ness of this community, neither do
transactions of a speculative ma
turc figure in onr statements Of
weekly bank clcarings, as pub
throughout the country in
comparison with the clearing house
statements from other cities.
Another feature of the banking
system of Abbcville is their saw
