LEVI BROTHERSi HERE WE ARE To tell the people of Clarendon that glib-tongued orators may keep the country in a state of agitation about the financial problem, but what is more of interest to them now is to find the best place to buy goods cheap. Levi Brothers have a good reason to feel proud of their success in business and to no people are they more indebted than to their old home folks in Clarendon. Goods are cheap and this season affords carfarmers an opportunity of obtain ing a fair price for cotton and a chance to buy goods at a low cotton basis price. We have for years been acknowledged as leaders in the re spective lines that we handle any it is our purpose to contin ue leading. Dress Goods. This department has been selected with unusual care and our stock is not only varied and large, but a lady can find the very latest fabrics with the necessary trimmings to match. Wash Goods. There is no store in the city of Sumter that can excell us in this line, and we defy any house in eastern Carolina to show up a prettier line of prints. Cassirneres and Jeans. This line we carry in large quautities and can say with safety that no where south of Baltimore can you get a better value for your money. Notions, Hosiery, &0. Every buyer is invited to examine our line of Ladies', Misses' and Children's Hose, Handkerchiefs, Buttons, Tow els, Doilies and other articles too numerous to mention. Plaids and. Brown G-oods, Long Clotlhs, and Sleetings. This stock was bought when cotton was at its lowest price and we took advantage of the depression. Clotaine Hats, and. Q ent's Furnishings. We can say without fear of successful oUtradiction that& - have the most complete line that can be found.anywhere. Trunks by the car load. Shoes, Shoes, Shoes Every kind and style that is manufactured by 'drst-cIass factories is handled-by us and we take a special interest in this line. Groceries, Groceries, Our stock is up to date and our farmers can save money by buying from us. Remember, we pay highest prices for cotton. Yours, &c., LEVI BROTHERS. New Store! New Store!
