RAPID TRANSIT.

The Wilmington Electric Railway Com
pany Furnishes Ample transportation
Facilities.
For several years Wilmington managed
TO get along with horse railroads and
their exasperating slowness. but three
years ago the lines were reconstructed.
and since that time The city has reveled
in tho enjoyment Of the rapid, clean and
pleasant transit resulting from the sys.
tenn of electric propulsion. More than
thirteen miles Of track. all recently re-
laid with heavy rails TO accommodate
heavy electric cars, reach out 90 all the
railroad dopots, hotels, theatres, manu-
featuring centres. suburbs and pleasure
resorts Of the city and by systematic
arrangement of transfers and connections
that are never missed, any point in the
city can bee reached from any other point
every few minutes from D. 30 o'clock i'm
tho morning until / o'clock at night,
with special service always provided for
theatre goers
Twenty-four winter and ten summer
cars do duty ON the line 40 present. and
the aim OF this company has been to
provide at all times prompt and ade.
quate service. In fact the needs of the
public have always been anticipated and
never forced upon the management.

excellent quality is manufactured Most
important to Wilmington is its close
proximity to the iron and coal mines Of
Pennsylvania. This is a natural advan-
tage that cannot be wrested from it by
manufacturing cities less fortunately
located in this respect.
Iron working in nearly every branch
is one Of the leading industries of the
city. The list Of iron products is eE-
haustlessly various, from nuts and bolts
up to iron and steel ocean steamships
complete within and without in every
particular from Wilmington shops
Direct railroad connection with the Penn
sylvania mines, by short lines, gives
Wilmington it's ores and fuel at the
minimum Of cost. while from other points
and for a vast quantity Of the many ma
terials used in the several industries,
water transportation is more economical
The problem Of ample and cheap trans
portation is most happily solved for Viii
mington in the close connection and
sharp competition between railroad and
water carriage.
AS railroad centre, Wilmington is
located ON the Pennsylvania Railroad
Trunk Line Baltimore and Ohio Trunk
Line. Wilmington and Northern to Cen
tral Pennsylvania. Delaware Railroad to
Norfolk. Va, and the South, while steam
freight and passenger lines to Philadel-
phia connect 20 all accessible points on

The productive industries Of The city
are iron, morocco and other feathers
carriages. railway cars, and iron and
wooden ships Cotton yarns and fabrics
are also largely produced. In the manu-
facture of guupowder parlor friction
matches and paper, Wilmington takes
first place, while the production in

great.
There are sixteen morocco factories,

ample communication by land and water,
relative proximity to sources of supply

and natural facilities for a variety Of
industries and enterprises. Wilmington $
