Entered at the postodlce at Fort Mill. S*C.. as
mail matter of the second class. ^
THURSDAY. JULY 16. 1914.
Fort Mill is not yet in the
class of finished towns in which ;
the only things that ever happen
are morning, noon and night.
This was demonstrated forcibly
in the auction sale of business
and residential lots Tuesday.
The lots not onlv brought cood
prices, but what is better, quite
a number of them passed into
the hands of men who expect to
begin the erection of homes
thereon in the near future,
meaning, it is hoped, quite a
building boom for the town before
the fall sets in. For a
number of years desirable residential
lots have been at a
premium in Fort Mill and this
fact has operated against the
upbuilding of the town, but with
the opening of the new subdivision
which has just been
placed upon the market there
will be no reason for some time
for anyone wishing to erect a
home here to have to abandon
tin* idea because a desirable site
is not available. The future of
Fort Mill is more promising
today than it has been for years.
Individual effort is a good
thing, properly applied, but. if
every man in this town decided
to work in his own particular
way for the upbuilding of the
community, we wouldn't progress
very far or very fast. "A long
pull, a strong pull and a pull all
together" has often pulled a
town out of a rut and saved it
from stagnation, starting it on
t' e high road of progress and
prosperity. But every fellow, <
with no cohesive community

town in the country in the muck
and mire and effectually block
the wheels of progress. One
old ox is mighty poor dependence
for moving a heavy load,
but put a yoke on them together
and note the teamwork.
When in unison they bend their
necks to the bow, something has
to come. So it is in the development
of a community. Let the
progressive, loyal citizens work
in unison for a common cause
and something generally happens.
that something being the i
building up of the community. 1
making it a better and more j
attractive place in which to live, j
Are you yoked up with the'
boosters of this community, I
doing effective teamwork, or are '
you pulling in a contrary divee- !
tion all alone.

t t
* ^gJXTEEN years ago marked the gradual evolu
lution of the modern drugstore in Fort Mill.
? Pills and powders, crude drugs and Hood's Sarsaparilla '?
4 artd Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup have gradually ex- 4
panded into Fine Chemicals and Pharmaceutical Prepa
rations that are the products of expensive laboratories,
Z thousands of proprietary articles and the many side lines *
that now form the most practical part of the up-to-date
i store. *
4 From the-very first Ardrey s drug store has adhered to 4
4 the fixed principle of taking no chances, but handling the 4
4 best lines of medicine that were presented. The labels 4
4 on the bottles establish this fact to Physicians and this 4
4 has been demonstrated by the confidence and business 4
4 that we have commanded of all who have lived here for 4
4 any length of time. Whereas, formerly goods were 4
4 bought in small quantities from local jobbers, they are 4
4 now purchased^ principally direct from manufacturers, 4
4 giving our customers considerable arlvantcino '
_ ? .v...ku6v- ? t-" *
s and quality and condition of goods. *
' In the several side lines we have sought to buy the *
/ best the market afforded. In National Cigar Stand goods, ?
/ Waterman's Ideal f ountain Pens, Eastman Kodaks, Nun- ?
? nally's Candy, Devoe Paints, we have sole agency and '
$ each is regarded as having the widest reputation for
/ merit in the United States In the Rexall agency we have 2
part in the largest co-operative buying and selling propo
sition in the country, whereby our customers are given
20 per cent, better value for the same money, every arti
cle of which is guaranteed to be the best for the price
and satisfaction guaranteed or money refunded.
Ardrey's Drugstore has filled nearly 30,000 prescrip
tions, more than all the other drugstores combined that
* ever existed in the history of the town and has always *
* felt the grave responsibility of this department, employ- ?
ihg only trained and competent men.
^ Ardrey's Drug store has always conducted its business ^
^ on a moral plane which enabled us to say next year that ^
^ we gave you your money's worth, whether you realize it ^
or not. You will some day. And the proudest asset of ^
our business is the scores of customers who have en- ^
trusted practically their entire business to us for 16 years.
