"ilaving jUtst returnIed t romli anl
eight-wNecks trip through the p rinici
pal cities o fthe east I am glad to say
a few words. about conditions in the
mercantile business.
"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. The big city
lmerchantls can e'lTord to give dis
en(ullnts, for their goods are originally
priced very high in im ost cases, while
the merchants here seem to be selling

are as low or lower than the so-called
"Reduced Prices" In the cities. I'll
give you a concrete example-I bought
the hat that I am wearing in an east

half cheaper here than in the larger

should know that our home mer
