There' is in existence an ancient, torn an{l faded plat of the lot at what is* now the north east corner of Main and Water streets in the town of Walterboro. This plat Is dated almost one hundred years ago, 1825. and on the plat, right at the corner is a small building shown. "■r A. C. SH.1KFKK One of the founders of Terry A. , SliStfer. I 'which is marked. "The old store of Kanz.” * lUstory does not tell us an>> more of \rr. Kanz—whence he came or where he&Svent. Hut this plat is mentioned to show that for n cen tury or more this corner l^sheen a trading point. Years passed on 'axil in October of ISTTi, just fortv^one years ago, a small men ant ile business was open ed by John Terry and his son-in- law, A. <’. jjrhaffer. under the name of Terry^'ic Shaffer. J-'Ko years later tlx* store and most of the con tents/ were destroyed in the great five which burned the Yoglet Hotel -and many other buildings in the vi cinity. The Terry A- Shaffer stos v was immediate!) rebuilt and con tinued as before until the death :rf Mr. Terry in 18!*t>, when the busi ness was carried on under the najrto by Mr. Shaffer, the other nxnihi i of the firm. Shortly before his death in lit Id, Mr. A. C. Shaffer turned the entire business over to his son, Mr. E. T. H. Shaffer, the present owner, who today continues the business under the name established forty-one years ago by his father and grand father. In^the swiftly moving current of \our American life it is not often one can find a business continued through three generations of a fam ily. And when on the first day of windows Georgia marble adds to the handsome appearance. Above the plate glass a sheet of prism glass 80 feet long throws soft, but sufficient light throughout the entiae estab lishment. The ceiling is of. whit* enamel metal, the floors are double and felt lined, giving warmth and comfort. •Ample room is provided for the various departments intc which the business is now divided. The left hand entrance leads di rectly to the dry goods and ladies’ notion department. At the rear is found a full and well displayed China, glassware and lamp depart nient. v The right hand entrance leads to the grocery department, both shelf and wholesale, in which this firm takes special pride. Here also are departments of shelf hard ware. men’s and ladies’ shoes and stationery, At the rear on tins sid»* are found meats, grain and all farm supplies. . • A special feature of the grocery department is the large and sani tary McCray refrigerator and also the very modern Walker-Hinn dis play. counters. • By 'means of such fixtures the various foodstuffs are handled in the most approved sani tary methods. Near the center of the store e- located the office provided with sky lights and windows on all sides giv ing an unobstructed view of the business. Always on the lookout for the comfort and convenience of its cus tomers. the proprietor of this firm has provided a commodious and well arranged rest room at the rear of the dry goods side of the store fpf the exclusive use of ladies- Here those who cotne. into town yt'bm a distance may come and refresh themselves, removing the dust of the journey. Package may be left here and it is hoped that the ladies who come to WaHerboro will make this rest room their' headquarters and feel perfectly welcome. The Proprietor. E. T. H. Shaffer, the present own er of this business is one of . the county's most progressive young ^business men. He looks upon his business In the light of a man who desires to make as great a success of the interests committed to his charge as was made by the servant who was entrusted with the ten tal ents bv his Master. He has chosen Wulterboro in the Sandy Day sec tion. Another who has been one of the hardest workers j for the success of thesgrm, and who takes as^nuch in terest in the success of the business as if it were his own, is Norman G. Morrall, bookkeeper and general manager. He knows intimately the! business affairs and policy of the X. G.
