why DO It.
A TALK ABOUT TREATS EXCURSION.

A TALK ABOUT TREATS EXCURSION
It is well known to the public on
the line Of the D. NJ. and V. rail-
road, the facilities we have given on
our excursions for every one to 90
to Georgetown at very low fare.
This was done to sell our goods and
to give the public the opportunity
to buy from large stock of goods,
with fine assortment, at city prices.
Ry a great many customers this is
appreciated, but quite a number of
persons who take advantage of the
low fares are no benefit or help, be-
cause they do not buy of us. They,
like the ride and are glad that Treat
charters the train, so they can
travel so cheap, transact some pri-
vate business and visit their friends
in Georgetown; but they seem to
think we are engaged in a charity
entertainment and can give some-
thing for nothing. Now the public
who enjoy the benefits of these ex-
cursion rate AVE a duty 20 sustain
us in return with their patronage.
We cannot afford to continue these
excursions unless we are sustained;
"all give and no take soon makes
Jack a poor boy" Now, in order to
protect ourselves and those custom
ers who desire to trade with us, we
have made the following arrange
ment with Passenger and Traffic
Manager, A. Brown, of the u. M.>
and V. railroad: Their agents at
the different stations on their line
will sell our excursion tickets as
usual. The fare from Lewes and
intermediate stations to George
town and return will be so cents
Berlin and intermediate stations
to Georgetown and return, sc
cents; all stations below Berlin to
Franklin City to Georgetown and
return, 81. These tickets will not
be good to return unless stamped
by us at our store at Georgetown,
We will stamp them, and at t.
same time repay to the holder on,
half the cost of the ticket, pro-
vided he buys one dollars worth
of goods at our store. In this way
the cost of the ticket will be Just
the same as the old rates. This ar
rangement will not make any
trouble or delay, as we shall have
a person specially appointed to at
tend to this matter. * dollar
spent with us by 500 persons is
$500 and goes far toward helping
Us bear the burden and take the
risk of chartering the train. We
feel greatly encouraged at the
words of approval from our GUS
-omers for this course, and we be-
ieve the great public who love fair
1lay and appreciate enterprise will
ally in great numbers to the sup
1ort Of the New York Store.
