THE DAVIS SHOPPE
/
Known Also As Allamae's Shop, Operated by Ladies of Dis
tinction; Selling Goods, of Distinction in a Commu
nity Where Distinction Reigns Supreme.
We might say that the seven Da-j
•7is sisters are the founders and op-!
trators of the Davis Shoppe here in
Forest City, that most distinctive
and modern ladies shop, where high-j
grade merchandise for "My Lady,
Fair" can be had at astonishingly,!
low prices.
It is not the custom of this extra-1
ordinary salon to splurge on price- j
cut sales but it is a daily habit they ,
have acquired in the matter of giv- j
ir.g bargains to their many custo- j
mers. The Davis sisters, not the sev-.
en of them, as before noted, only j
four, constitute the sales force of
this interesting Ready-to-Wear for j
Ladies Who Care store, which is sit
uated "just around the corner" from
the Gray drug store, offers one of the
finest lines of modern apparel ever
brought to Forest Cfty. The styles
of New York, the fashion center of
the world, are hex-e in all their var
ied colors and designs. Hundreds of
the latest styles in dresses and wo-,
men's wearing apparel of dignity and
distinction can be found in their well
selected stock.

I HON. CLARENCE O. RIDINGS.
!A Self Made Man; a a Soldier; a Citizen
Who Has Made Good and is Held in High Esteem ■
by a Large Circle of Friends.
| It is not a difficult task to write
ion the life of our subject, Clarence
j Osborne Ridings, born in Polk coun
!ty, North Carolina, November 9,
11892, a son of James Isaac and Cora
Gertrude (Tanner) Ridings, who j
!today enjoys the distinction of being,
I one of the foremost attorneys of i
Rutherford county, and this not-'
;withstanding the fact that he was!
forced to make many sacrifices in
order to obtain his schooling and edu- j
• cation/ and admission to the local ■
■ bar. !
■«' Being forced to borrow money (
- from his father and others during j
5 his school days, and through his j
; eagerness to succeed, he was placed
r in many embarrassing circumstances;
: before success crowned his many ef- j
i forts. Mr. Ridings' first appearance |
! before the bar association for ex
■ amination was fruitless, but this did j
• not in any wise deter him from pro- |
• ceeding along the lines he had map-;
jped out —that of becoming an at--j
\ torney. In 1921 Mr. Ridings was
elected to the state legislature, and ;
jit was while a member of this dis-;
jtinguished body that he decided to:
• become a lawyer. Prior to this he
i attended the public schools, and i
; Fruitland Institute near Henderson- 1
jville, taking a four year course, and
had engaged himself in a hosiery
mill, where he was working when
President Wilson picked him up and
sent hiwi to Camp Jackson, Colum-;
; bia, S. C., to help Uncle Sam win the j
World war. For two years our sub- :
ject served his country, being hon- I
orably discharged in May, 1919. Re
turning from the army Mr. Ridings
again engaged in teaching school
which vocation he had followed on
occasions prior to entering the ser
vice, in order to accumulate funds
with which to obtain a still better :
education. So very many things did (
' Mr. Ridings do in order to gain an j
: education and a standing in the pro- :
1 fessional world that the writer feels j
[ he is one who deserves more than .
mere credit for the standing he holds j
' today in his profession and with j
1 the entire masses throughout Ruth- !
erford county. While a member of the i
! j legislature our subject began tty?
study of law, and after "the close of
1 ! the session came home, rented a |
I farm and planted same in cotton, af-[

two broken back chairs, Mr. Ridings
started the practice of law here, and „
a friend who happened in immediate- .
ly after he had opened his office, j

I outstanding figure in jurisprudence.
