It isn't for to-day/to-morrow or next week that you buy a Suit of Clothes. Clothes are bought to serve?the longer the better. * The better the Clothes the better they serve, and the better they look, even to the last day. You can't get service or appearance out of poor work manship. A thrown-together, pressed-up Suit may look ail fight for a week ; then comes the time of kicks and dissatis faction. Peck's Clothing, for which we have secured the agency, is made to serve long and well ; to keep its shape ; to look dressy as long as you want to wear it. That's the kind of Clothing it pays to buy. IT'S MADE RIGHT. It's almost an investment to buy it, for a long-wearing Suit pays you back more than its cost. G. A. REESE, ?ext to F. and M. Bank, Head-to-Foot Outfitter, ANDERSON, S. O.
