AND PEACHES FOR EN- ALL

Elated over the success of the trip
to Berlin, Md, yesterday, the 10 Pill
grims of Cooperation of the Chamber
of Commerce returned home last
evening at o'clock. Everyone was
enthusiastic and expressed pleasure
over the get-acquainted outing All
| felt that the people Of the Eastern
Shore are sure to fall in line for a
/ Delmarvia dealing cooperation and,
when they come north to purchase
what they cannot find on the Eastern
Shore. will stop of in Wilmington and
buy from the business men of the city
/ that buy Eastern Shore products.
Without doubt Il Is the greatest
stunt the Chamber of Commerce yet
/ has undertaken. and will do more 20
let the people of the Delmarvia
Peninsula know that Wilmington is
up and doing than anything yet done
to boost the city. While pri-
marily the affair at Berlin was
a meeting of the Peninsula Horticul-
tural Society and the entertainment
of its members and visitors by ]. G.
/ Harrison and Sons, the Chamber Of
a
sion for Wilmington TO extend the
glad hand to residents of Delaware
and the Eastern Shore of Maryland
and Virginia who would be assembled
at Berlin. II was figured by David
lSnellenburg. John S. Hamilton and
I the others who were active in plan
ming the trip that il would give Will
lmingtonians a chance to show that
they have the Peninsulas best inter
ests at heart. and are not merely
seeking to attract trade from the ter
ritory east Of the Chesapeake. 1t was,
indeed, an unusual pilgrimage, for 10
men prominent in business and in
dustry took a holiday and a trip of
232 miles in a splendid demonstration
of civic pride. Headed by the Tall
Cedars' Band. the Wilmingtonians
with their white umbrellas and their
Especial train and their 40 messages
of good cheer certainly made the hit
of the day. Many in the assemhlage
from the Eastern Shore found It diff
fcult 10 understand why Whining
ton should take such an interest.
But Il was a great day for the VIII
lmingtouians, with a pleasant time
lamong themselves on the special train
20 and from Berlin, and the delightful
entertainment by Harrison and Sons
at that place and the happiness that
came with meeting and getting ac-
'quainted with men from all over the
Peninsula. "Why, there were Will
'mingtonians on the train who did not
know each other, and business men at
that" remarked one of the party. IF
the trip results in no more good than
in Wilmingtonians getting acquainted
or in becoming better acquainted, il
will have been beneficial"
/ Already there is talk in the Cham
ber Of Commerce of taking another
pilgrimage. possibly to Rehoboth for
! a "Get-Acquanted Day" If such a
trip is taken the indications are that
those going will number nearer to
1000 than 10
