The ttltove nuestlon was asked by a truck driver who recently moved a family to this village. Why did lie think this was uot the Maine village? Several years ago a group of mou looked' into the future and saw bright pnjKjHM't+^-fo^ the*-matt ufaetiuv of cotton into cloth. A mill was organized with Ion thousand spindles ? about thirty houses were built a. I id o|>eratives came in from other mills and surrounding country. The mill was first called "Caiudeii Cot ton Mills." From J SIX to HK)f>, fi#*t . onv finan cial trouble mid then another threat ened t lie mill, culminating in a financial crnsli in 11X15. The property was -sold in bankruptcy. In 1 !HJo the present Hermitage Mill was organized with II. (J. Carrison as president; <\ II. Yates, vice president and secretary : and K. It. lMtts. mana ger.

The Hermitage Mill is fortunate ia ImMiik owned entirely by Camden dtU t zens, and ax long as such men as Messrs. II.1 (1. Oarrison, Sr.. R. B. IMtts, O, II. Ydtes, Dr. John W. Corbett, \Y. J M.

We wish to announce to the Automobile owners of Camden and vicinity that beginning August 1st, we wi commence to operate .all transactions and sales of Gasoline, Oils, Tires, Accessories and Repair Parts and Wj on a STRICTLY CASH BASIS. Thia^ action has become absolutely necessary on. account of disastrous 101 month after month due to failure to collect a considerable percentage of bills. This together with the si percentage of profit derived from the sale of Gasoline and similar accessories make it impossible to conl business on a credit basis without cutting the quality of service rendered. This we do not care to do and it therefore to protect our good customers that this action is taken. For the information of all concerned, publish herewith an agreement signed by all members of the Camden Automotive Association which will be strictly enforced in every; instance. "We, the undersigned Garages and Filling Stations, hereby agree and pledge ourselves that commencing August 1st, 1920, we will operate our sales of Gasoline, Oil, Tires, Accessories and all Repair Parts and Work on a Strictly CASH BASIS, making no exception whatever to anyone. In other words, nothing included in the above mentioned lines will be sold or allowed to leave our places of business until it has been fully paid for in advance." By selling for Cash Gasoline will now be sold at 34c the Gallon instead of 35c, the former price. CAROLINA MOTOR CO. CAMDEN MOTOR CO. CONSOLIDATED AUTO BEARD S GARAGE GEO. T.
