These shows have been a big success fro the start and they have been the means of bringing the manufacturer and mdi chinery dealers closer together. To show how the public generally has patronied these exhibits, there were at the last show 70,000 people in atte*ndance during one wveek. '"Since coining here andl talking to your .howv proomiters I have learned things about my own state wvhich I did not knowv he fore. iFollow? ceFarm 'lave learned that we manufacture ,hoes and shirts and numerous other )roducts in South Carolina which I never heard of before. - "It seems to me that an exposi tion which will feature all of the Pia Afactured )rOdUcts of all classes In the Carolinas should he a won 'lerful thing fro man edlucational standpoint and should do much to show our people what vast str-ides have been made by Carolina manu facturers. "I think the idea of a made-in Carolinas exposition is a great one aind I predict for your show a strik ing success." - 0 GROWER SHOULD VISIT MARK ET Many times a personal visit to the market will more thlan repay the shipper for the cost of the trip, says thi United St'ites Departnant of Ag ricilture.

Such n visit en ables the grower to acquaint h imiself personally with the distributors, to select trustworthy representatives, to learn the difficulties of the "man at the other end," and to improve Iis marketig practices. --0 Subscribe to The Times Every one who has a Wash our Washing Machine Drainers michine whenever it is convenier circular.
