Here’s Our “Secret Service”
There is always a cause back of every service you get.
Cleaning is our service to you, and we -feel you will be
interested in knowing something of how it is done.
To begin with, we know you will appreciate the ab
sence of odors. Now, be critical, turn to the linings,' ex
amine the pockets, note the trimmings—all fresh, light
and renewed. If you send us a table cover, drape, blank
et, etc., and after we return it to you, we know you will
be delighted when you see how nicely the colors have been
restored and how the very texture has been enlivened.
To give such service we have installed at big expense,
a Glover Purifying System pictured above. This is no
small layout, but a wonderful plant in itself. It assures
us of always having pure, sweet, fresh, cleaning fluid, so
that your most valued and delicate fabrics will always
be cleaned in pure, sweet fluid.
This is the “inside information” mentioned and it is
the real reason WHY we give you such outstanding ser
vice-impossible without such equipment. We are just-
ly proud of our work, and we want you to feel you are
getting the best regardless of where you may be or £o.

Dr. Graves L. Knight’s Record
OF PUBLIC SCHOOL WORK
AT GRANITEVILLE, S. C.
(Reproduced from The State, June 11,^1916)
Aiken, June 11.—After 22 years of faithful service,
during which period the Graniteville Academy has grown
from a common country^ school to a splendid public school
of ten grades, the Rev. Graves L. Knight-has given up
his work at Graniteville and, to the regret of the people
not only of Graniteville but throughout Aiken county,
will later locate at Laurens. Mr. Knight did not apply
for reelection this year as principal of the Graniteville
Academy. The trustees, however, reelected him, but he
declined to accept
It was in the fall of 1894 when the Rev. Graves L.
Knight first became principal of the Graniteville Acade
my. The school then had less than 100 pupils, and there
were only two other teachers in addition to the principal.
Under Mr. Knight’s able and efficient supervision, the
school has been graded through the tenth grade, or, in
other words, a three year high school course is now pro
vided. During the last session nine teachers were em
ployed, the enrollment being 400.
For the past five or six years Mr. Knight has been
superintendent of both the Graniteville and the Vaucluse
schools. At Vaucluse there was during the last session
a total enrollment of 150, the pupils in the higher grades
of that school being taught at Graniteville. This was
the first school in the State to adopt the system of trans
porting pupils from one school to another, a large truck
being used for the purpose.
For four years the Rev. Graves L. Knight served on
the State board of edutation and for many years he has
served Aiken county most efficiently as a member of the
' T Te is now on this h
w ; s and universities, many of them winning scholar
ships in competitive examinations.
Particularly do the people of Graniteville, where Mr.
Knight has lived for so long a time, feel the loss his re
moval from their midst will mean. At the commencement
exercises of the Granjteville Academy, held Thursday
of this week, members of the board of trustees and citi
zens paid tribute to Mr. Knight and his untiring interest
and efforts expended in building up the school on its
firm and solid foundation, an achievement which will re
main behind him and evidence his ability as a splendid
organizer, an able executive and an excellent school super-
ihtendent. In addition Mr. Knight is loved in Granite-
vilJe and in Aiken county for himself. He is a high toned
Lhnstian gentleman and has for long had the respect and
the esteem of the people.
Two years ago J. E. Swearingen, State superintendent
of education, writing to one of the members of the board
of trustees of the Graniteville Academy, stated that the
high school enroUment at that school was the best re
ported from any manufacturing town in the Stat£ the
average attendance being 70 per cent. The State super
intendent of education inquired what conditions helped
to make this feature of the school such a splendid suc
cess. He was informed that the credit was all due to the
superintendent; that Graves L. Knight and his peculiar
ability produced the condition which made for success.
