as the history OF Salem county, New
Jersey, as the day that Wilmington,
Delaware. was placed ON the map to
stay. This was the intention Of the
Chamber Of Commerce in planning
for the frs. annual excursion 20
Salem county, but they were assisted
in the map-malSing by the Business
Mems Association of Salem and other
residents of New Jersey by display
Of hospitality that euualled that of
SUSSEX county. which Is noted the
world over for hospitality. The re-
ception accorded the 100 Delaware
business men and others represent
ing the Chamber of Commerce was
astounding and when tho last of the
twenty-five automobiles containing
the party pulled away from the pier
at Pennsgroye on the ferry boat Long
Beach last evening, it was not with
the feeling Of Home, Sweet Home, %
but with the thought that the dis
tance between this city and that por-
tion OF New Jersey had been cement
ed by a bond Of friendship that could
not be broken
As evidence Of this feeling the 10
cal business men declared that when
the Salem and other South Jersey
business men visit this city there will
be holiday here This feeling was
made more manifest when the stop
was made at Salem for dinner Dur
