Mister Dooly Says
that if he ever gets hold of a little
mound of money that he will do no
more "woruk," but that he will sit
on a Turkish Sofa and will have
dancing girls fan his person with ,
Ostrich fans, and will not move a
step without being carried. If any
one suggests physical exercise he
he will pay him forty dollars. to leave
and never return. He will just sit
quietly and camly rejoicing to know
how ba^ly the neighbors feel when
envying Mr. Dooley's hoarded
wealth. Mr. Dooley, however, does
not deny the fact that to attain suc
cess folks could cultivate a few E's
Fs: Integrity, Industry, Energy and
Economy, and a good way to econ
omize is to make your purchases at

Spartan
from the Latin Spartanus of or per

showed the spirit of ancient Sparta
during the trying days of the Revol

true. Spartanburg is fanned by
healthy mountain breezes keeping
climatic conditions good all the year
round. It is the center of the cotton
manufacturing industry of the state.
It has been called the Lowell of the
South. For more than twenty-three
years the gig wheel of business has
been revolving at Collins' Departe

burg. Spartanburg has shown her
appreciation of my efforts to save
her people on their purchases and
each year she has given new impetus
to the wheels of our machinery.
