Sears purchased goods valued at $92,049,000 from 102 factories in South Carolina Fac tories supplying Sears with mer chandise are located in 55 cities and towns throughout the state Three of these are in Clinton and Joanna, S. C. — Cttnton-Lydia Cotton Mills, Joanna Cotton Mills Co., and Joanna Wood Products Co. In the eleven southeastern states, Sears bought over $849,- 000,000 worth of goods from 1164 factories in 518 cities. The extent to which Sears pa tronizes Southern industry was announced in connection with the beginning of the company’s “Dix ie Progress Sale” which gets un derway Thursday. This unique sales event is an annual affair aimed at boosting southern indus try. "We discovered that some of our customers, many of whom are natives of the state, really don’t know or appreciate the wide variety of products that come from Soutli Carolina’s mills and factories," Carl Gore Said. By highlighting these items on our counters and in our displays we can bring to their attention the great diversification of economy now enjoyed by our state. "This diversification of course hasn’t always existed,” Mr Gore added "Even during Sears’ short 35 years of retail experience in the South, the company has seen the unhappy economic conditions that can result from n strictly agricultural economy. "That's one of the reasons why in the past two decades Sears has at her home on Rt 1 after several been trying to locate an increas- months of illness la « number of sources for the She was a native of Spartan burg County, but had lived in Clinton for a number of years.

Wilson, died in 1960. Surviving are three daughters. Mrs Paul Cagle of Rt. 2, Lau rens, Mrs. James E. Harrison of Rt. 1, Clinton; and Mrs. Noah Scott of Clinton; a sister, Mrs. Etta Graham of Greenville; a brother, Eugene Lanford of Char leston; nine grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren. Funeral services were conduct ed Tuesday at 3:00 p. m. at Bell- view Baptist Church by Rev. J. B. Abercrombie. Burial was in the church cemetery. products it sells in the South land.” Mr. Gore said that while this arrangement serves to keep local dollars circulating in the local economy it also enables Sears to effect savings in transportation costs which can be translated into lower prices on its goods. The Sears "Dixie Progress Sale" theme was first conceived in the late 1930's, but due to a shortage of goods was suspended during World War II. In 1950 it was resumed and has been an an nual event ever since. In the eleven years since the sale was reinstated, it is interest ing to note that Sears purchases in South Carolina have increased more than seven times. Records of Sears purchases in 1900 show that the company bought $12,- 446.000 in that year. —Adv. PRESCRIPTIONS PROMPT. ECONOMICAL PRESCRIPTION SERVICE Youngs Pharmacy “Serving This Area 77 Years” N.
