The large advertisement of the
Sumter Dry Goods Company which
has some comforting words to those
who are interested in the dry goods
market and most of us are. They
never feature trashy or low grade
merchandise for it is always unsatis?
factory to both buyer and seller. We
commend what they say for their re?
assuring is good, and their well-es?
tablished reputation as dry goods
merchants should cause the purchas?
ing public to agree with them, that
they can and will always protect
their Interests whenever the ques?
tion is agitated.

The Fall Season of 1911
is Again Upon Us!
And this announcement would doubtless cause much anxious
thought to many had The Sumter Dry Goods Company failed to
secure their various lines of merchandise at the time that the
Manufacturers' prices struck the low levels. But they didn't
fail, and their patrons are to get the benefit of the many bar?
gains to be found in their big Fall Stock.
Many interior improvements have been made, and shop?
ping there will prove a pleasure to you, for they have eliminated
all high price anxieties.
A cordial welcome awaits you in their Ready-to-Wear
Department, where a beautiful display of Suits for Misses, Ju?
niors and Ladies is made daily with Style, Price and Quality in
perfect accord.
Dependable merchandise is always appreciated, and there
is the place to find it. If it is Silk. Cotton or Wool they have
it; if not in stock they will get it for you. Always a pleasure
to serve you.
