NEWBERRY STARTS CONSUMER'S STORE i One of Proposed Chain in Sixteen Southern States?Tc Open Soon At a meeting of a large number of prominent citizens of Newberry who pledged their support to the plan, it was decided to organize a consumerowned store in this city . This store will be one of a chain of stores operating through the American Purchasing company, which will act as purchasing agents for all the stores operating under this systeifi. This will be a cooperative store, the primary object of which is to eliminate the mddleman in the handling of merchandise and to give the members the benefit of such savings. It is proposed to begin operations with not less than 100 stores organized in sixteen of the Southern states, eventually increasing this number until a maximum of 1,000 stores are in operation. Some of the leading members who are taking an active part in the or-i ganization of the store are: D. L.[ Boozer, J. V. Clary, O. H. Lane, C. L.; Lester, J. W. Wheeler, F. P. DeVore, ^ * xi rv? _j b.

Food for Thought Local papers have recently carried advertisements, sensational and otherwise, having to do with a modern tailoring and pi'essing club business, the efficiency of which will have no equal. I want the people of Newberry to know that I am still in business and I I that I continue to be prepared to offer first-class service. Conforming with the past policy of my tailoring business, the future, as has been my policy in the past, will offer you no sensational advertisements purporting to show my preparedness to serve you efficiently.
