Businesses Woo Buyers For More Sales STOMACH TROUBLE? r A young Clinton man had been suffering with Stomach Trouble for over eight years. He was unable to eat as he would like, and even then he would suffer vomiting spells and a con stant severe pain in the pit of his stomach. He was X-rayed while in Service in 1944, and discharged due to a Gastric Ulcer. Severe headaches set in and continued until 1953. Then he was advised to visit Dr. Jones by a friend and after only five months he was dismissed as completely well. If YOU have any Health Problems call now for an appointment with— Dr. J. W.

Never has she been courted so assiduously' by the merchants who depend on her trade. ' Retailers are striving to find out what you, the consumer, really want.

The fast-shooting Blue Hose teem appears well on its way to writing new records into the Pres byterian basketball book. Foremost among these marks is the remarkable won-loss record, which features nine straight tri- umps over Palmetto foes without a loss. The overall record, now riding at 15-3, could easily hold up in this closing month of play to better the previous top record j of 21-7 posted during the 1951-52 New Topping For Apple Pie season. As a scoring machine, the Hose- men have kept their points con sistently high enough to average 91 points-per game on a grand to- , _ ro , 111in0 I tel of 1,637 points.

For Mr. and Mrs. Average Shop per, the new pre-occupation with customers’ needs should add up to pleasanter shopping all around.- Here are some improvements you can look for: Salesgirls who smile, help you with your packages and call you by name. A bigger assortment of attrac tive merchandise, where and when you want it, and at prices you want to pay. A whirlwind store expansion program. Expenditures for chain store construction and moderniza tion this year are expected to show gain of 10 per cent over record 1954. This will mean more new stores in outlying shopping centers, and more face littkig of older stores in established main street locations. Meanwhile, there’s evidence that established retailers are taking a good hard second look at discount house competition. All during 1954, policy-making officials of the NRDGA (it’s the nation’s big gest retail trade association) de nounced the discount merchant as a "bootlegger” and discount mer chandising as an “evil.” But at their convention this week they gave top billing to a speaker who Eloquently defended the discount operator, Asst. Sec retary of Commerce James C. Worthy (formerly a top Sears, Roebuck & Co. executive) told the meeting that the discount house is here to stay than the present school record. The combined op position to date has collected 1,- 358 points for a 75.4 average, which gives PC a hefty 15.6 advantage in the important point-spread de partment. A new individual record also appears certain on the sharpshoot ing of Sophomore Forward Roc Ragan. He already has amassed j 513 points, with five regular-sea- son games and at least two tourna ment contests yet to be played, and buckets along at an average of 28.5 points-per-game. Presbyterian underscored its su- period during the past week by soundly trouncing two old rivals here at Clinton: Wofford by a 96- 74 count; and Olemson for the sec ond 'time this season, 92-56.
