THE C6VI NOTON NEWS WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1913.
AN INTERVIEW AT PENNING¬
TON’S GASH STORE
The News reporter interviewed
Messrs. Pennington & Davis, proprie¬
tors of the Pennington Cash Store in
legard to their cash business.
“Well I must say that when we
first began this business, we thought
that perhaps we would just carry a
staple line of fancy and family groce
tics, believing that such a business
ould be of pecuniary benefit to us
and a great saving to the buying pub¬
lic.”
From my visits to your store I see
that your line of groceries have beert
ery greatly reduced and that you
must especially have had a fine trade
on flour.
‘‘Yes, we attribute our trade on
groceries and flour especially to the
fact that we would not buy a sack
of flour or any groceries of any kind
but what we could guarantee to the
purchaser just as we represented it
to be. And I want to say another
thing: most of our flour was bought
and shipped direct to us from the
mills and some of which was put up
under a special brand for us, and w<.
are glad to state that our entire line
of groceries are giving perfect satis¬
faction.”
I notice that you have added some
snoes, dry goods, etc., to your line
“Yes, 1 wan to say that we added
this line because we had so many
calls for them and that our shoes are
mainly bought from the people who
manufacture shoes and we have not
ad word of complaint from a sin¬
; a have
gle customer to whom we
jid. And in order to be able to
-apply .the wants of our trade,
been compelled to put in a lme
uave underwear,
staples, overalls, pants,
itings and other goods in that class.
Well how are you satisfied with
ur trade?
Why under the circumstances we
-n't see how our trade could have
-
m better than what it has. Now,
. that
I want you to say to the people
they are cordially invited to our
ace of business and that we will
c-rdeavor to keep on hand at all
mes a line of merchandise and
roceries that are sanitary and in
-
first-class condition.”
It seems that you buy some of
cur goods in large quantities and
hat you might divide with your broth
sr merchant and in that way reduce
The high cost of living.
“Yes, we buy such things as crack¬
ers, candies, tobacco .and snuff in
what is known as drop shipments
ai d many times sell at the same
mice as these goods are sold in
ihe market and are always glad to ac
commodate our merchant friends.
