concerning everything they saw.
The trip began at $3.50 o'clock,
from the City Exchange. Some 400
to 500 invitations had been sent out
and cars to provide for that number OF
persons had been assigned for the "trip,
but because of the hour and of va
rious business meetings and other
things the number of guests was only
enough to need two cars and only this
number made the trip.
The route was from the Exchange
east on Bay street to Abercorn, which
was followed to Broughton, thence
west on that street to West Broad,
to Margaret, and then along the reg

followed tc Schwarz avenue, and this
taken to Factory road, and the Mill
