THE GREENWOOD BRAND


words of which follow:
Quality First
You Are Sure of Getting
The Best Grade of
Cotton Goods
When You Call For
Greenwood-Made Goods.
Greenwood Cotton Mills,
Grendel and Ninety-Six
Cotton Mills.
This advertisement directs the at
tention of the readers of The Index
to the fact that cloth manufactured
in Greenwood county of cotton grown
by Greenwood county farmers is in
tended for them to wear, and it is
| one of the first evidences that We
have observed of a disposition on the
part of South Carolina cotton mills
to impress their own neighbors that
they are producing a commodity for
others than the inhabitants Of Han
kow, Timbuctoo and Chicago. It tells
a story of mutually of interest be-
tween the manufacturers and the
farmers OF Greenwood which in
wolves, of course, the interest OF
bankers, merchants and all other
citizens The man who wears a
Greenwood county shirt and the Wo-
man who wears a Greenwood county
shirtwaist will have a pride in the
home" factories that make the cloth
and will not feel that they are for
eigu esta blishments set among them
for the sole object Of getting what
they can out Of them.
These mills of Greenwood county
doubtless manufacture more cotton
cloth than all the people OF the
county use, but that does not take
from the value Of the fact that a
Greenwood man with a Greenwood
shirt on his back is likely to have
a better feeling for the cotton mill
than he would otherwise entertain.
These manufacturers of Greenwood
are doing an excellent thing for
themselves when they advertise their
partnership with their own people.
By the way, it is common knowledge
that everything with the Greenwood
brand wears we'll, so on general prln-
ciples what the advertisement says OF
the quality of the cotton goods may
be safely taken as true.-The State.
We quote the above just to let our
people see how a live town like
Greenwood appreciates the value Of
newspaper space, and how they show
their appreciation of it by using it.
If any of the Newberry papers should
happen to get out a special edition
the cotton mills are generally very
nice to give them an ad, but when
they do it they do it with feeling
that they are making a contribution
to help the newspaper get out the
edition.
Wonder what President Wright
would say if one of the newspaper
were to approach him in regard to
carrying a regular adj of the goods
he manufactures. And yet it would
be a. good thing for him and the other
mill officials to do, and thus help to
encourage the use of home manufac-
tured goods.
But best of all, this advertisement
in the Greenwood Index to which the
State refers, shows that the people OF
Greenwood have the spirit of sticking
to their own enterprises and believe
in the spirit OF cooperation. That Is
what makes a town grow. Newberry
is a good town. We have as good
people as the world can provide. va
need just little bit of the spirit OF
progress and that spirit which act
yates US to work together for the
general welfare.
Just this little advertisement Of
the cotton mills in the Greenwood
paper has given the town an adver-
tisement in the editorial columns OF
the State and has given It repro
