FULLY so AUTOS
FOR THE VISITORS

As plans are nearing completion the
trade excursion TO be- conducted by the
Chamber of Commerce TO nearby Mary
land and Pennsylvania towns Thurs
day, July o, promises to be the largest
function OF its kind ever given by the
local trade organization. Not only are
the members of the Chamber OF Com
mcrcc enthused over the automobile eN-
cursion but the local officials and husi-
ness men OF the towns to be visited are
showing a keen interest in the affair
and in most instances preparing some
sort of formal reception for the trade
boosters The officials in all the towns
have been sent the schedule for tho
excursion showing the time of arrival
and length Of stay az each place and
are enabled to make their plans accord.
ing to this schedule.
AS an example Of how the different
towns are entering into the spirit OF
the friendly trade promotion excur-
sion, the Avondale Herald, of Avon
dale, Pa, has suggested that the ar
rival of the Wilmington visitors be am
nounced to the people Of that borough
by ringing the fire bell The Herald
deems this an effective means of no.
tifying all the townspeople that the
excursion has arrived and states that
in such a way it would be- possible to
have the visitors meet as many OF the
local citizens as possible.
In North East. Md, the suggestion is
being made that the town should be
"cleaned-up" In anticipation of the ar
rival of the Wilmington delegation
The fact that the suggestion has been
made to the town commissioners that
the streets should be placed i'm tidy
condition before July shows that
North East is as anxious to have theiI
town receive the favorable comment
of the visitors as the Wilmingtonians
are to create a favorable impression
Judging from such indications as this
the trip will not only afford an ex-
ceptional opportunity for courteous
| social greetings but also the forma
! ti0n of profitable business friendships
