And there is Mr. C. L. Havird, who has been here more than forty years in the same line and in the same -building. And then there is Mr. J. H. Summer, who came here in 1884. Soon after he came there came his brother, George, and after a while came Charlie, and the Summer Bros, grew to be one of the biggest and most prosperous con cerns in upper South Carolica. And out from it came ,tbe mill builder, George W. Summer, and the clothing merchant, J. H. Summer, and C. E. Summer is still with the Summer Bros, company.
