Free prizes will be given' away Friday, the announcement states, and special souvenirs for ladies and men. Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Hamilton opened their first jewelry store in j Columbia in 1927 on Taylor street. In 1936 the store was moved to its present location on Main street and! a program of expansion undertaken with the opening of a store in Sum- j ter in the early fall. Next year an-' other store was opened in Darling ton, followed by qihers in Spartan burg, Greenville and Newberry. The Clinton store was opened in August 1940. and since 1943 has been headed by B. C. Preslar as manager. The management states that for the past eight and a half years their store has received a liberal patron age from the residents of this com- 'munity and with modern and larger facilities is now better prepared to serve the public than ever before. Both Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton are! native South Carolinians, Mrs. Ham-' ilton having been born in Columjai^ and Mr. Hamilton) is a native of this county. The organization, which has been built by the efforts of the own ers, is truly a local organization com posed of South Carolinians and hav ing no affiliations with any other organization, Mr. Hamilton stated. A page announcement on their formal opening Friday appears in today's paper. Crowds Visit Giles Showroom To See New Chevrolets ^Hundreds of persons visited the! showrooms of the Giles Chevrolet 1 company Saturday to view the new! Chevrolet models. It was the most 1 wonderful reception of a new model we have ever had, Mr. Gile's stated, 1 the jam being so great at times that; one had to peep over the shoulders of the crowd to get a glimpse. Offered are special and deluxe models in the Fleetline and Styleline; groups. Although there are some minor changes in the motor and in steering, brakes k gearshift and trans- missioQ, among others, the principal thing noticeable is the marked im provement in body styling. In ap pearance the'T949 models are as dif- terent from the 1948 as the girl of today is from the short skirted lass of 1946, Mr. Giles said. “There’s never been a Chevrolet like this, says the General Motors announcement of the new car. “Nev er a Chevrolet so smartly styled, so luxirous, so advanced in comfort, safety, and performance with econo my.” The new models were unveiled simultaneously Saturday throughout the United States. One of the mod els is now on display by local dealers. HAD BIRTHDAYS SUNDAY W. H. Simpson and C. C. Gilles j observed birthdays Sunday, the 23rd. It was a coincidence that the^ met , on the church steps on entering ser vices at Broad Street Methodist ! church and paused to wish each oth er many happy returns with a hearty I handshake.
