These suits were half sold

Wouldn't do to say the same thing about shoes,
but with these suits it's so.
They are so attractively styled and stunningly
I patterned that all our salesmen have to do is to
dig up your size?direct you to the mirror?find
out where you live and thank you for your purchase.
No sales talk necessary?the models speak for
themselves.
No long boresome explanation of conditions?
the values deny that Uncle Sam ever got mad at

You'll wonder at the wonder of finding such
likeable garments at such convenient prices.
And we won't blame you for a choosing like
i this is rare indeed.

"In December of 1860 South Care
lma had just seceded from the Unior
ar.d Colonel Anderson, of the Unite
States army, was in charge of th
federal troops at the government pos
of Fort Moultrie. Goevrnor Pickens
cf South Carolina, made a demand o
him for the surrender of the fort t
the state. The fort was in Charles
ton harbor on Sullivan's Island, an
was easily accessible from the lan
side. Colonel Anderson, fearing th
fort would be taken from the lan
side, at night secretly transferred hi
whole force to Fort Sumter. Thi
was a move for greater safety, ro
Fort Sumter was situated a goo<
ways from the mainland and was en
tirely surrounded by water.
"In the meantime South Carolim
had collected her army with a vie\
toward driving out Colonel Andersor
and his troops. About the first o
February, 1861, the United State
government tried to send men an<
provisions to reinforce Anderson, s<
that he could stand a siege. Men an<
provisions were sent from New Yor]
harbor by the steamer Star of th
West. On February 10, 1861, th
' Star of the West attempted to ente
the harbor and make the channel b

Prosperity Is W ith Us 1
LETS HOLD TO IT AND DESERVE IT.,. " 9
No one man can stem a tide or change a current once it 9
sets. But a cheerful, persistent and consistent community,
neighborhood, town or organization spirit can accomplish 1
wonders, move mountains, make two grow where one was. M
This is our ideal in life. We invite you to try it out with us. 1 1
It will do us all good and help eyeiybodyrv^pd lis*en, if
you don't know it now, the time is not distant
will know it. The grouch, the slacker, the loafer, tj^e |H
teer, the man with a chip on his shoulder, the rhan who ^1
works three or four days in the week, when there*is urgent
demand for his full six days, the clock watcher^; and the
man constantly looking for shorter hours and more pay, is I
the enemy of prosperity, therefore your enemy and mine. . i
He is the cause of the high cost of living. He is the breeder, '
of unrest and suspicion and the cause of unhappiness. ^

show him a bigger, better ideal. Lets invite him to get on | j
the job, six full days in the week, every \yeek in the month^BM
and every month in the year. Lets invite him to have ^BBj
part, a worthy part in keeping prosperity smiling on us,
doing better work, constant work, regular work, and cheer^^^H
ful work of worth while production. To do this, and do his |Ha
best, a man must know he is appreciated. He must feel
that he is getting a square deal. He must realize that he is
getting his money's worth. That is our business- and^liTir^- ?pose
in life. It is our aim and desire to give you a square
deal. No man, great or small, that has a man's spirit, but
that will find us his friend, ready to stand by, as truly his
friend in adversity as in prosperity, and we constantly
challenge any market, any where, to give its patrons better
merchandise or more of the same quality for his money
than we do daily. ^ (
If you want to prosper as we want you to prosper, lets
get closer together. Lets fight the common enemy, get better
acquainted with our people, with our stores, with our
merchandise, and best of all, with our spirit of get together,
stick together and bring things to pass.
