The Fasti wwq~Keeps up TO HAVE BEEN FIRST PROVE T WO "STR The Power of outlet IS THE Cue I Or Lo sr Pri It is an undisputed fact that Quantity reduces cost. But behind the possibility of Quantity buying, must stand the power of the Outlet. The great selling, the wide territory over which t3 distribute goods, the being in touch with many cus tomers not only in Greenville, but over many coun ties-this together with the greatest wholesale and retail trade in the city of Greenville, we have the most effective weapon with which any buyer can buy. World over, makers yield their lowest cost and best bargains, not by sentiment or favor but to buyers who can talk Quantity and buy in Quantity. Pepe marvel at the piles of new goods being re ceive daily at the Busy Store. "What do they mean by buying such quantities of goods?" is an ex pression heard many times a day, but the most fa vorable comment is from the thousands of well pleas ed and satisfied customers who say: "How can they sell 'em so cheap?" The reason is easily explained. We are the biggest wholesale dealers in this line in the upper part of Carolina-when we visit the East ern markets, the mill men know us as large buyers Our sources of supply are the same as the jobbing houses from whom the retail merchants buy their goods-but it is not alone due to the fact that we are large and close buyers.

Pretty good proof that the business of Greenville is growing and that we-The Hobbs-Henderson Co. -are getting our share of the increase.
