WILSON LINERS
DO BIG BUSINESS

Passengers on the boats of the Will
son Line often ask: Where does the
Wilson Line find so many people TO
carry" AS a matter of fact the Will
son Line serves three excellent cities
and the answer is simple. It gets the
people at each end of the line and in
the middle. People from Wilmington
who take the boats for pleasure trips
go to Philadelphia or some of the
parks in that section. People from
Philadelphia take the boats and come
to some of the parks in this city while
Chester, which is half way between,
sends a number Of passengers each
way. The line has been unusually
popular this year with those who
were seeking to escape for a time
from the heated cities and the evening
boats have been especially popular
with pleasure seekers.
