Conn Trade Exposition Friday and Saturday Camden will observe* Km first bin l rude exposition on Friday and Saturday, May 7 and 8, and as the heavy advertising carried in this edition or '1 ho Chronicle indicates, H gives promise of establishing a trade record far surpassing any previous at fair of the kind ever held in this purt of the state. Those In churgo of the trade < xpositiou have utilized every means to advertise Its trade value to the entiro community, not only in Kershaw county, hut beyond and into adjoin Inn counties. Reports from all parts of the county indicate that the affair has been the principal topic of conversation for weeks und arrangements are being made by thrifty housewives to take advantage of the remarkable values that will be offered (ins Helens, head of the Home Furnishing Company, a member of the board of directors of the County Chamber of Commerce, und well known throughout the? stute for his sterling business ability and character is outspoken in his admiration of the manner in which the preliminary arrangements for the trade exposition have been carried out. "1 want to assure the people of the city and county and our friends in the counties adjoining thgt the merchants of Camden have determined to make this sale program one long to be remembered for the unusual values that will be on sale," said Mr. Releos. "You often see advertisements wherein a store emphasizes the fact that values mentioned will make a dollar go twice as far as it ever did before. That Baying applies to this city-wide sale on May 7 and 8. It's not an idle boast or remark. It Is the truth. Our merchants bureau bus become u vital factor In the progress of Camden and when we determined to have this sale every business man was asked to take part in it. They responded to a man and as a result every store and shop will offer bargains that will enable the thrifty housewife to save enough money on staple merchandise to buy herself a new dress and a new hat." Mr. Helens' statement is echoed by every merchant in Camden. It is going to be a big sale and it is going to feature some wonderful bargains in every line of merchandise. Moultrie Hums, vice president of the Camden and Kershaw County Chamber ot Commerce and a member of one of the enterprising business linns of the city is proud of the manner in which the Merchants Human of the Chamber has arranged for the exposition. "This is a Kershaw county affair : and I feel that the people of the rijtal districts will* realize that the citizens of Camden have a real interest in aiding them to make the affair a success," said Mr. Burns, "our farmers are our neighbors and we want them to feel that neighborly spirit that they will meet with on every hand whenever they come to the county seat." T he Chamber of Commerce secretary who has been handling all arrangements for the exposition as well as putting out the publicity in relation to the affair has issued a warning to all shoppers to the efTect that the merchandise that is to be on sale Friday and Saturday will be on sale at quoted prices only on the two days in question. Next Monday they will he back at regular prices. For that reason the secretary urges the shopping public to take advantage of the prices at tin* sale and buy. buy, buy.
