Generation 'Who Have Con-
taibated to Success of
i
These Merchants.
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.

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

this as a profession and is as jealous
of his reputation in a business way
as any professional man ever could

had charge.of this business, he has

jit#
Hair Stops railing Out and Gel,*
Thick, Wavy. Strong and
Beautiful-
Your hair becomes lighK^ wavy,
fluffy, abundant and appears as sof*.
lustrous and beautiful as a young
gjrl’s after a "Danderine hair
cleanse.” Just try this—moisten a
cloth with a little Danderine an I
carefully draw if through your hair,
taking one small strand at a time.
This will cleanse the hair of dust,
dirt and excessive oil and in just a
few moments you have doubled the
beauty of your hair.
Besides beautifying the hair at
once, Danderine dissolves every par
ticle of dandruff; cleanses, purifies
and Invigorates the scalp, forever
stopping itching and falling hair.
But what will please you mot*
will be after a few week’s use when
you will actually see new hair- tine
and downy at first yes—but really
new hair growing all over the scalp.
If you care for pretty, soft bait and
lots of it surely get a 25-Cent boiih
of Knowlton’s Danderine from ap)
druggist or toilet counter, and Jm-t
try it.
