Farm Work Delayed
By Week Of Rain
Spring work on farms in the Bluff
t( n area is being further delayed by
rains which have fallen every day
but one since last Wednesday.
Farmers already are behind their
usual schedule because of the late
arrival of spring, and almost con
tinuous rainfall for the last week
has further delayed the preparation
of fields and the seeding of crops.
Unless good weather materializes
soon and continues for awhile, indi
cation are that most corn will be
late in going into the ground this
spring.
Grass is growing luxuriantly
result of the many rains, and
Bluffton gardens are doing
well.

We keep our stock of merchandise in this
city because we sell to the citizens (who trade
in this area only)—we have no other patrons
and we are interested in no other patrons.
.Were we in the mail order business it
would be unnecessary for us to invest many
thousands of dollars in stocked merchandise
so that our customers can see what they are
buying—so it will be unnecessary for them to
carry on important purchases through the
mails—so they can get materials they need
when they need them.
When you want building information you
don’t have to write us a letter and wait for a
reply—when you need something in a hurry
we’ll deliver it in a hurry.
Item for item our prices are lower than
mail order building materials of the same
quality—our service is quick, personal and
satisfactory—and you can see anything you
buy from us before it is delivered to you.
We can supply you with more plans, ideas,
and building helps, which cost you nothing,
