MORNING^ NOON AND NIGHT People nre Crowding Into J. E. Min ter & Dro's. Store. Occasionally an Individual or firm rises from among the every day com mon place way of doing things and makes folks rub their eyes and take quick notice. There Is a concern right here In Laurens doing this very thing. .1. E. Minter & P>ro. one of the lead ing mercantile concerns of this city Is creating one of the biggest stirs that has happened In mercantile circles in a good many days, attracting people from far and near and at the same time staying strictly within the hounds of conservative business methods. Some few days ago this Arm opened its doors on what they term a great Piercing Arrow sale, and from that day to this they have attracted im mense crowds, such crowds as have seldom been seen in any one store in this city. "BARGAINS" is a magic word?to the average mortal It is a magnet that attracts where all else falls and if rightly applied with the necessary amount of publicity it has and ever will act as a mighty attraction, and right here Is in part the success that has been brought through the succes sive announcements of this store? they have BARGAINS rightly applied with the necessary amount of publici ty. In talking with Mr. E. P. Minter the question was asked; "To what spe cial feature do you attribute this suc cess?" His answer was interesting and what we can remember we will give you. Ho said: "We give no one spe cial credit?we give them all credit? llrst of all we believe In advertising? and advertising liberally?what we have for the people we want them to know and there is no better way to get to the people than through the public press?we never misrepresent In our ads?If anything we make the offering better than we advertise it? we never sell a dollar's worth of goods without our guarantee goes with It? never a sale In our store until the customers is thoroughly satisfied? ?we have one price to all?wo treat er's interests?of course we are In business for profit?but never at the expense of any customer's good will ?we have one plrec to all?we treat all alike?this is the policy that has made us many friends not only those who trade with us but among many who do not trade with us. The suc cess of this sale lies solely through these things?our past record you might say."?Adv. Glorious News comes from Dr. J. T. CurtlSS, Dwlght, Kan. He writes: "I not only have cured bad cases of eczema in my patients with Electric Hitters, but also cured myself by them of the samo disease. I feel cure they will benefit any case of eczema."
