MILFORD is justly the distributing point
for both Kent au1 Sussex counties. Sit
uated as this town is. one half i'll Kent
and one half i'll Sussex counties, having
railroad and water communication and
business men who are active and progress
sive, she is rightly entitled to the large
trade which she carries OIL with the two
lower counties of this State and the coun-
ties of Maryland aud Virginia lying west
and south Of us. Everything is sold on
a very small margin Of profit by our mer-
chants, as they believe il selling goods
close and making money on the great
volume of trade done instead Of doing
modest business at larger per centage
of profit. There Is much competition
here as is readily seen by reference 10 the
advertising columns Of this paper, and
competition tends constantly TO force
prices down 1t is these things which
has made Milford the leading business
town of the State south OF the city Of
Wilmington The Pennsylvania Rail
road officials could tell something of in
terest to Milford people if they chose to
give out the figures representing the cash
business done by them i'll the different
towns of the State. It is generally known
that this town pays more for freight aud
passenger service to the Pennsylvania
Company than any other town on the
peninsula excepting of course, the thriv-
ing city of Wilmington Milford IS a
live business town and our merchants
are up to the times in all things so come
here when shopping and do not go TO
and other large cities, for
our merchants will actually sell you
goods lower than the large city dealers,
and will treat YOU better i'll every way.
