FRoM a READING POINT DE HIEW.
Impressions Made Upon Our Pennsylvania
Guests Last Monday.

UueSts LasL mOnuhFs
A citizen of Reading, Pa, who visited
this city Monday week, writing to a
friend about the trip, has the follow
ing to say about the harbor and the
impression it made on the Reading
people: Wilmington 8 water facilities,
think, are the BEST ever saw, and
since our return l have heard the sub
ject discussed several times. What |
saw on the ride down the river made
an impression which will ever remem-
ber. had read about some harbor
trouble around Wilmington, but | can
assure you that il Reading was blessed
with the water facilities similar to
those at Wilmington the city would
double its siZe in a decade. In the
first place the stream upon which SO
many shops and industries are located
appears to be fine harbor of itself,
while the river offers Inducements to
any who have any eea trade. l must
congratulate thu city upon its good
fortune in the matter of location and
hope that the many opportunities
which impressed me SO much may be
taken advantage OF.
Similar remarks were heard from some
OF the visitors on the boat on the day
Of the excursion, and the general
opinion among the Pennsylvanians was
that the people here do not appreciate
as they should the magnificent COM
mercial opportunities.
Another kind word comes from Read
ing concerning the police department,
and will certainly cause the hearts OF
true Wilningtonians to swell with
pride. 1t is from the Herald of that
city and has reference to the review oil
the officers in the rear of the City Hall.
1t reads as follows 'It was an i'm
posing sight, and while the efficiency
of the Reading police department has
never been questioned the superior
facilities of the Wilmington force was
only too noticeable. "

lows:
Lobdell Car Wheel Co. 1.-THE busi-
ness outlook is improving daily. Raw
material is held tirmer, and in many
instances has slightly advanced. We
notice that our trade is becoming more
diversified, and the number Of small
and medium sized orders has largely
increased. We think this indicates in.
creased prosperity on the part of thuse
who have had to practice an enforced
economy during the past few years.
Some new industries have alre ady
located here. and others are contem-
plating doing so, the settlement of the
tariff question giving them advantages
which warrant their successful opera
ton. The indications arc that the
railroads will soon he heavy buyers
This will greatly stimulate business
With continued ease in the money
market We look for an active fall and
winter trade. :"

We have had for a long time. We are
