It is
 
 advantage of quick development, which is necessary now that the product of the plant is needed for the prosecution of the war and in the manufacture of fer tilzers.
 Florence alone has contributed over s10. 0o0 to aid in bringing the plant hereto send delegations to Washington, to secure
 release of land damages, and other like purposes and every town in this great valley has also done its "bit" in a similar way.

G. C. Lewis, GROCER
IS ALWAYS HAPPY

One of the greatest assets to his
business is the jolly good nature OF
G. G. Lewis, who conducts a grocery
on Seventh street, north, in the Webb
building. He is always attentive to
his business and to the needs and best
interests of his customers, and he is
always in good humor. All OF these
qualities combined have secured for
his grocery an excellent trade. Every
year he has been in the grocery bus
mess he has experienced largely in
creased trade. Like all other gro
GERS who have the interest of their
patrons at heart, Mr.. Lewis regrets
the unusually high prices for grocer
les. His profits are always reasona-
BILE, and the high price OF foodstutfs
have not increased them in the least.
The cost of the groceries to him has
been increased in proportion to the
advanced prices at which he is COM
PEELED to dispose Of them.
