Gigantic Trip to Big
Cities Of Country Is
Now Talk of Tradesmen

Believing they have popularized
| Harrisburg as a business and manu-
featuring center, members of the
Harrisburg Chamber of Commerce last
night returned home from a two-day
abouts.
SO successful was the trip that
members of the Chamber are now
| talking of gigantic trip to Pitts
| burgh, Rochester, Buffalo, Cleveland,
Detroit, Indianapolis, Cincinnati, CO.
lumbus, and so on throughout the
middle East and West, where Har-
rlsburS is not so well known as here
bouts.
All that happened, and the many
good things accomplished, would fill
| a big book. list of names of other
busy men met, and of those who were
glad for an opportunity to shake hands
with Harrisburg's boosters, would fill
another book. Three counties and ten
towns were visited. In each town
Harrisburg's representative business
men and manufacturers made the ac-
quaintance of many wide awake citi-
zens. The reception accorded Har-
risburgers everywhere was cordial and
| invitations were extended to return
| at an early date. Referring to the
value of the trip, not only to the MEM
bers, but to Harrisburg, Robert M.
w dusWoTlll, secretary Oh the Harris
burg Chamber of Commerce, said to-
day:
| Wadsworth on Results
J 1T will be difficult to describe to
members of the Chamber and others
who didn't go the cordiality which
marked our reception everywhere and
| the good feeling toward the Harris
| burk representatives, and it will be
| impossible to estimate the degree to
which this project novel in Eastern
Pennsylvania, has popularized the
Harrisburg market as a whole; how it
has broadened our trade relations with
these cities and how it marks Harris
burg as city that not only has been
progressive at home but proposes to
be aggressive in exploiting this city
outside.
There has been some talk of a
longer trip to some of the larger cities
of the Middle States, Pittsburgh, Ro-
| chester, Buffalo, Cleveland, Detroit,
indianapolis Cincinnati, Columbus,
etc, where Harrisburg is not as we'll
known. ....
| CAS- in adjacent counties, we could
| go either alone in small party or
| Jointly with Representatives of the
business organizations of Reading,
| York and Lancaster if our members
consider it feasible and valuable
| project"
Before leaving Lancaster the tour
lists were surprised to receive an early
| call from members of the Lancaster
| Chamber of Commerce. Autos were
| waiting and took the Harrisburgers
about the city. The trip included a
visit to the Hamilton watch works.
| 1t was the first visit ever made by an
| organization to this plant.

Mannheim folks gave the Harrisburg
ers warm welcome and big feed.
The burgess welcomed the visitors and
regretted that the visit was so short.
Az Lebanon after welcome from the
Board of Trade of that city trip to
the Cornwall ore banks was made
Then came trip through the city and
was followed with a departure for
Hershey.
At Hershey the entire afternoon
was spent in seeing the chocolate
! plant and visiting the Hershey store.
AT the latter place an interesting Incl
dent was recorded.
While the HarriSburgers were being
shown about one of the departments
/ William II. Bennethum Jr., remained
! in the clothing department. A Gus
toner walked in. There was no sales
man on hand, so Mr.. Bennethum took
off his hat and started to work. He
sold the customer a $40 raincoat and
turned the cash over to the cashier.
Another interesting incident was the
sale of Mannheim Old Home Week pro-
grams and copies of the Harrisburg
Telegraph to the tourists by w. r.
Blough. Purchasers received no
change. The sales amounted to $3.50
and the money was turned over to
| the treasurer of the Harrisburg Cham
ber of Commerce. At $50 the final
dinner was served and it was big
feast.
w. r. Murrie, president of the Her
shey Chocolate Company, welcomed
the party. Manager Clark, of the
Hershey store, also spoke. Short talks
were made by George A. Gorgas. A. e.
Buchanan, ]. w. Bowman, George W.
Bogar and Herman Tausig regarding
their experiences on the trip. Robert
w. How 81 hllTnnrnnS fol
| Eberts surprised all by making a flow
| cry, serious sermon on the necessity
| or human character as an element OF
| progress. Mr.. Tripp said:
| Il hope this is but the forerunner OF
| many more such trade extension trips
| Although this one was at first consid.
| cred with some disdain by many of the
members because it was new thing
| feel sure that everyone now is en-
| thusiaStlc, and / am satisfied tina
| much good has been accomplished fol
[ ourselves and for Harrisburg. The
| fact of so many busy men spending
| two days, and not directly talking bust
ness or taking orders for their wares
shows a spirit of good fellowship a:
well as desire for commercial better
ment. / think all in the party have
seen new things and schemes of value
| to introduce into their business"
| On the return trip to Harrisburg
! prizes were awarded to the best 'storN
| tellers." A. f. Buchanan, division pas
senger agent for the Pennsylvania
| Railroad, won first prize, a pearl
handled knife. The second prize Wen
to Robert Hoy, a knit doll. At mid
night seventy-two members of the
Harrisburg Chamber retired feeling
/ happy and satisfied that the trip wa.
! profitable and joyful.
