BOWMAN PICNIC AT
GOOD HOPE MILLS IS
DELIGHTFUL AFFAIR

Bowman and Company held their
annual picnic at Good Hope Mills, the
store being closed all day. Good Hope
Mills, with the picnic grounds adjoin-
ing, are owned by the Bowmans who
have developed the land for picnic
purposes and in the course of the sum-
mer will erect large pavilion there on
the top of a knoll that overlooks the
Conodoguinet creek.
Everybody connected with the store
and many of their friends were on
hand, from the founder OF the firm
down to the smallest office boy. Joe
Wallazz, the financial expert, went to
see that the financial rating of the
store was kept intact. Joe had his
mother-in-law and his daughter along.
Both appeared to be about the same
age-say eighteen years-and ]. Will
liam Bowman was heard to remark
that Wallazz shows the same good
judgment in picking his relatives as
he does in business. Harry Bowman
had charge of the commissary and it
was some commisSary." The Loys-
vile band provided the music, the
boys having been entertained by the
various members of the firm at their
homes the night previous, and delight
ed everybody with their skillful rendi-
ttons of difficult numbers. The Vic
toria theater management took pic
lures of everything worth while and
the large number Of pretty girls and
handsome young men kept the camera
artist busy buzzing the crank all day
Yes, the reels, bathing pictures and
ALL will be on display next Friday.
Arthur H. Hollis was caterer and the
dinner was real Harrisburg blub af-
fair.
Those Cakes
But the biggest thing on the picnic
grounds was the cake able-literally
as well as flguratively. They were all
baked by employees of the firm, 175 of
them, and the committee gladly risked
acute indigestion in the duty of tasting
them all. Then they found that they
were so good that the tasting all had to
be done over again. Unquestionably
the best cake baked was that of Miss
Alice Musgrove, but as she happened
TO have been designated as head of the
cake committee she modestly declined
to be considered. So the prizes were
awarded as follows Most novel cake,

collar; ginger bread, Miss Blanche
