It may look passably fair on the counter?in fact a cheap suit is made to look its best while on sale, but after a week's wear it bags at the knees, pushes up in the back, frays out at the bottom, while the pockets have a hang-dog look, and the general appearance of pre? mature decay that lingers about the wearer is evidence that he has been making a futile attempt to save money by indulging in a cheap suit of clothes. We don't keep the cheap kind. We do have some good suits at reasonably low prices, but they're not the cheaply made kind. They're made not alone to sell, but to wear. The Right Way to Buy Clothing. The Right Way is to buy good Clothing at a fair price. That's true economy. We have been teaching it in Sumter for the past ten years. Every year we add to our experience in the Clothing business, we are better qualified and better prepared to teach true economy. This season we have placed in stock a large assortment of Clothing, Hats and Furnishing Goods From which the citizens of Sumter can make a selection. Our steadily growing business is evi? dence that our actions and methods are fair and honorable. As proof of this we can point with pride to the hundreds of families who commenced trading with us years ago and who are today our itauiichest friends and warmest patrons. They have tested thoroughly the Truth of the Old Adage?"The Proof of the Pudding is in the Eating/1 They have eaten and are satistied ?so would you be?and so will everybody l>e who trades at D. J.
