The Reflector continues to re-

reflection sufficiently strong upon
the portion of Greenville's
anatomy to interest enough to or-

trade. Really it is a great

the writer been asked by people at
a distance in less than a week what
sort cf board trade Greenville
had, and with much regret the ans-
could only be in truth none at

trade which effects a special inter-

mortifying that with such a
citizenship as town of
Greenville has, and we are proud
of her citizenship, that they do not
formulate themselves into a strong
and effective board of trade. Many

follow. That there is skill, ability

knows that their value of
increase in weight is not based
upon any ratio. That is, a
of one carat weight is not
worth one half, the being
equal in all qualities, to a
of two carat is worth more
than twice, and the three carat
is worth more than the ratio of
weight indicates over the one
and two carat stones.
This increase in ratio of val-
is found in advertising
space, and a Wisconsin profess-
or is the authority, who has
found by inquiry among the us-
of ad space, that a one page
advertisement was not twice the
value of a half-page advertise-
as might be imagined, but
twenty-five times the value; that
a half-page was fifteen times the
value of a quarter-page, and a
ten line agate announcement, in
comparison even with a quarter-
page advertisement, was not to
be mentioned at all.
Like diamond values, the big

prestige that a two carat
