W, Le Roy, 11entisI Office forme.rly oeupied It .By D)r. D. L. BoL.r, 101 etiring from.the Retail Business. Wl)en I came home last, year it was my purpose to sell 'The metts place'' then and still occupied by Post master. Chas. J. Purcell, and ''The. Brown place,'' then occupied by Messis. M. L. Spearman and Frank R. Hunter and now by Senator Cole L. Blease nl Mr. T. Griff Williams and put, the net, amount in my 'business at the store and increase my stock accordingly. The first difficulty I met. with in disposing of the property was I could not give possession, the leases not expiring until the summer and . fall of this year. About the time the leases were to expire I notified the parties living in them that I wanted possession of them at the expiration of their leases, as they were now for sale and not for lease. I had several offers to buy which I accepted, but those who made the offers failed to get the money to comply with the terms of the sale. I indulged some of them until October 1st and others until October 17th and then rather than sell them for from five to seven hundred and fifty dol lars less than they cost and fifteen hundred dollars less than they are worth, I wit bdrew them front sale, and have leased them for something like the rental. The cost of them would justify me in leasing for and holding and instead of selling this real estate and enlarging my business here I have it decided to go out of the buiness, pay upi my obligations and then do some thing that I have reason to believe will pay me better without a dollar his of capital invested than I can make 06. with several thousand dollars invested in the store here. I prefer to give my r. customers who are the best friends I have in Newberry county the benefit. of my stock at manufacturers' cost with only the expense of selling added and I will until furtlher notice offer my entire stock of at least fifteen of thousand dollars ($15,000) as fallows: said . All summer clothing aind two piece she suits and pants and all summer un derwear and low cut shoes at manu- 4ay facturers' cost, I losing tl)e freight and expense (if selling. All meus', boys' and children's clothing, pants gh and overeoats, siwomen's and nd childrens shoes, hats, men's, boys' and childrens' fall underwear, men's fur- ns, nishing goods, shirts, collars and cuiffs, 'umbrellas, suit cases, in!o fact everything else in the store at manufacturer's cost to mc, with ten se per cent added to pay tile freight and 7i expense of selling them to you. I am I open for an offer to purchase tile en tire stock and to lease the store sub- -.h ject to the approval of my landlord to tihe expiration of my lease, August 31st, 1908, anld it is the best opening *in the city of Newberry for an exclu sive line of mcin's clothing, shoes, hatsd and furnishing goods, and my retir ing from business is no indication that do not believe that the b)usinessI could not be miarle to pay reasonably for a number of years more than thirty-five hundred dollars a year net without alny investment, it is. diffi cult to satisfy him with munch less with sev'eral thousand dollars in his business, especially when lhe hlas rea- fe son to believe that 1 hecan do so again. ')ori My stock is thle best of the kind in Newberry and includes many ne0w fall . goods inl the store and others to ar rive, for which I hlave invoices. As 1 did not decide to consider the mat.te: of retiring from lbusinlnss until I hlad withdr'awi. miy real estate fro"m sale and released it, after it had been withdrawin and while T was in New York' last week I was wired anm. offer for the Purcell place, approvin4 the lease and inaming tile amount it could have i,eon b)oughIt for m.p to thme time it was withdr'awn which offer I dleclinled. .The sale will begin tomorrow, Octob er 30thl, and continue until the stock is Bold at retail or in bulk to some one t -e who would like to purchase and con tinue the business. I have indulged a few of my friends during the sum-L mer and I would noQw appreciate hav ing~ them elose up their accounts as 1 ;eed the moneyt. A. C. Jones, Newberry, S. C., OJctobe 29. *.
