WE'LL TAKE YOUR CORN =
2 IF IT'S sHELLED

The expense incident to conduct
ing q business in Abbeville z is very
moderate when compared with other
towns Of the same size, and certainly
considerably less than in Greenwood,
Anderson, Greenville mad Columbia.
This is particularly true Of the mer-
camille business. :-,S Il.
The Press and Banner is Of the
opinion that Abbeville merchants are
in position to sell their goods cheap
er than can the merchants Of other
cities in the State, and we know that
some of them are doing this very
thing now. IL. i
Notwithstanding the fact that Alb
beville merchants, by reason Of
cheaper rents, low city taxes, fair
freight rates and numerous other ad-
vantages, are able to offer the same
goods at a smaller figure than can
merchants in most other cities and
towns, many Abbeyille people buy
their wares elsewhere, mostly through
false impression in one way or an
other. ..F s; .,i. :. y
Most any week day you can see
Abbeville people in Columbia, Green
vile, Greenwood, and Anderson, and
quite ofteh in Atlanta making pur-
chsses in the stores Of these cities.
That is bad enough, but to watch the
parcels post window Of the post Office
for an hour! or two seeing the hum
dreds Of dollars worth Of !. mems
clothing, shoes, hats and for the
ladies, everything from q handker-
chief to q coat suit and hat, passed
out to Abbeyille people in exchange
for Abbeville dollars by the northern
and eastern mail order houses is
sure enough BAD. ,.asf sss 3
We would guess that 80 per cent
Of goods bought by Abbeville people
in other towns could be, bought in
Abbeville for less money and the
other 10 per cent for the same mon
ey. ,s3;5; q 1. 6f E:AzS
Another guess Of The Press and
Banner is that SO per cent Of this
"buy away from Abbeyille''l trade
could be kept here in Abbeville.
/ It is useless to say that Abbeyille
merchants want this trade. The
thing that puzzles us is why they
don't 60 after il and got it. 553$
