In commenting on an account publish
ed In Philadelphia newspaper relative to
the Mount Holly merchants picnic, held
at Rancocas Park on Thursday, August
II, the Grocery World has this to say in
its editorial columns: "a single event
like this can completely change the atti-
tude of country merchants competitors
each other. Without these So
cial events local competitors may never
get to know each other well; they may
never want to. A nod on the street Is the
extent of their acquaintance, and the re-
suit of that is the constraint that breeds
Understandings. Competitors on q
picnic together will get closer in five
minutes than the ordinary intercourse
can bring them in five years. And the
closer they get the smoother their re-
spective business will run, and. the less
likely will be that hostility that causes
rivals to see red and run amuck"
