CENTRAL MARKET
MACCLESFIELD, V. C.
A strangers attention was drawn
to an attractive and sanitary grocery
and market in Macclesfield today, g
which happened to be the Sanitary j
Market, owned and operated by Mr.
E. P. Abrams, a progressive young I n
merchant of the town, vwho estab-j^
lished his business just 15 months ^
ago, and by leaps and bounds the J
store has rapidly came to the front,!
and today enjoys a high class pat- ^
ronage, second to none, in the town I g
of Macclesfield. I 6
You will observe in abundance?u
the minute you walk in this nice I
store?staple and fancy groceries of I
all kinds, fresh meats, country pro- 1 n
duce, fresh fruits and vegetables L
and other nice food products. They I
also sell all kinds of cold drinks and I
serve the best ice cream in the city in I
cones, cups, etc. I
In a small way, with little cash, I ^
but with a willing and ambitious I &
heart, Mr. Abrams started out in the I
business world for himself, and by I ^
able assistance of his brother, young
Mr. Jodie Abrams. who is a very
eff dent grocery clerk, and by giv-ly
ing full dollar for dollar value, p
along with selling nothing but the ^
highest grade food products, he has
more than made good, and the
Farmville Enterprise compliments
him on the splendid success made, f
and for the ideal manner in which
|p
his store is operated.
He has invested thousands of dol- ^
lars in up-to-date store fixtures, in- ^
eluding a modern and up-to-date ?
food counter, where all fresh meats I*
and other perishables go the min
ute they enter the Store and remain Q
there until sold, assuring every pa- g
tron of getting pure, sanitary meats p
at all times. He buys beef cattle, I '
fresh meats, eggs, country produce
from the farmers of his home coun- xi
ty, and re-sells in the store at a
close margin of profit. We know of ^
no better store in town to trade
C1
with than the Central Market. So,
if you want the best pure food pro- ^
ducts at money-saving prices, trade
with Mr. E. P. Abrams, who owns
and operates the. Central Market, j
and you'll a ways be pleased and sat
isfied, and will save many dollars on
your food bill. This is a home-own
ed store, and all money you spend ^
there stays right in circuation in ^
this community. adv, g

CRISP, N. C. *
t
This is the main cog in the wheel c
of industry in Crisp, and affords em- v
ployment for many home community h
people, who earn a livelihood for
themselves and families, and in turn
spend their earnings with home
business firms, keeping the cash in
circulation in the community, and the ?
people who hatfe building and repair
ing to do, should be loyal to their I
home industries and give them the b
first opportunity to serve. b
This progressive plant was estab- t
lished many years ago by Mr. B. F. b
Eagles and Mr. E. Y. Lovelace, two t
prominent business men of the com- e
inunity, who have done much for the 1
upbuilding of their home county, and g
are well-known throughout the terri- 1
tory as straight forward citizens, who c
take a personal interest in every pa- 1
tror and do the very best for every- 1
one of them. This concern are manu- j
facturers of rough and dressed lum- t
ber of all descriptions, both kiln and i
air dried, and will cut it to any size i
desired by the patron. They are also c
cotton ginners, have large gins in
stalled in the county, where they 1
have invested thousands of dollars in 1
new and modern machinery, which j
turns out a neat and compact bale, j
and not like the old style gins turn i
. out. Tney are buyers of cotton seed ;
in large quantities and sell high grade j
fertilizer for all crops, and carry' a
stock right here in Crisp, and can <
supply any quantity at any time. <
They also sell dependable building 1
materials, and there is certainly no ;
need for home people going aWfcy to j
other towns to buy anything in lum
ber, building material, etc., when
they can get their supply right here
at home from a loyal home concern,
which has rendered an efficient ser
vice and dependable material for
years and years.
With lumber cheaper than ever,
with building material at a low price,
and with labor cheap and plentiful,
and with ideal weather, such as we
are now having, we know of no bet
ter time to do that building and re
pairing that you have been planning
to do?ao get in touch with Mr. Love
lace, and 1st him quote you prices
and give you an estimate on what
the job wiC cost you. He has had
long experience in this field and
can figure the jo|>. for you without
causing you to buy more material
than neceaaary, and will try to save
you aa much as possible on your
building.
