"I have heard so much talk about the so-called "lReduced Price Sales" in the larger cities that I will state the facts as I found them. it is true that great many retail stores in the larger cities are selling goods at greatly reduced -prices, but it Is also true that the great majority of these goods so offered are either unseason able, or somewhat old, or the style Is 'bad; and in every case It Is the cheap er grader of goods. "In very few cases were the bet ter grades of goods, new goods, or standard lines being offered at any great reductions. The demand, too, seems to be for the botter classes of merchandise, for' the people tdem' to bt realizing more than ever before that it is not economy to buy junk. "Here's another thing, too, I have looked over some stocks at home here since returning, and I find that the Greenville merchants are doing busi ness on Ia very sm1aIll margin of aprofit, or so it appears to me.
