Camden Plates for Camden Cars
Kven a casual observer must notice
hul the great majority of visiting
ars passing through Camden bear atractive
plates with the name of the
?wner's home town. Instantly you
ire impressed that the owner is proud
>f his town and is doing his part to
idvertise it to the world. You respect
lim for it. This method of advertisng
has become universal. It is in xpensive,
but very effective.
I.ast Sunday morning a Camden
itifcen and member of the chamber
of commerce bad occasion to go oui
to the Seaboard passenger station at
train time. Out of thirty-three cars
he noted only one bore the Camden
plate and this car was owned by u
winter visitor. It is strange that in
towns that have not near so much to
advertise as Camden nearly every
car is adorned with a name plate
while relatively few of our own cars
are so equipped. It is not carelessness
on the part of Camden people;
it is thoughtlessness.
Try and think today to call by the
chamber of commerce and select one
for vour car. It will be a source of
pride to you, and will do a lot to
advertise the town. We understand
that the sign!} were ordered at the
request of a number of citizens and
the chamber of commerce has several
hundred dollars invested ' in these
signs. The price has been reduced to
| seventy-five cents which is about
cost.
Masons to Confer Third Degree
Kershaw Lodge No. 29, A. F. M., j
through its worshipful master, T. V.
Walsh, Jr., has announced a special
communication for Tuesday evening,
February 15, at which time the
master Mason's degree will be conferred
upon" a class of candidates.
A special invitation is extended to
visiting brethren to attend this comj
munication.
People who seek to adopt children
always seem to favor girl babies;
boys are not nearly so popular.

f|? mercantile business on a cash basis, effective March 1 P|
next. After that date all sales in our store will be =3
ffi strictly for cash. No charges will be made to any one. j?
H We are confident that by eliminating the overhead 5
1/ == cost of handling business, we can materially reduce
IS the price of each article, thereby giving the public
j|ij better and cheaper service. We will give the same j|
courteous attention to customers that has character- g
H ized our business for the last forty years and our
??J prices on this eafdrdoasis will be so low as to astound I
!; fg you. |
px is We ask all those who have accounts with us to pay . ?
' 1 these accounts before March first as after that date I
we will proceed to close our books. We trust that the
many friends and customers who have for so many ?
& |2 years given us their patronage will see fit to continue ?
their pleasant business relations with us and we as- 1
sure them that buying in enormous quantities, for
jZj spot cash, will enable us to save them money on each g
s purchase.
