from the Peninsula came to the conciu-
sion that shoppers from the Peninsula
passed through Wilmington, and spent
their money in Philadelphia, for the sama
reason that so many of our people shop
there; because they want to, and that the
matter of 35 cents additional cost for the
privilege of stopping off in Wilmington
had nothing to do with 1t. For the regular
shoppers from down the State there is
every induccment for their buying q
