MERRY AT HERSHEY
ON AFTERNOON OFF

Tired and happy after nine hours of
continuous merrymaking and fun at
Hershey, the many hundreds of en-
ployes of the Reading and Harris
burg stores of Dives, Pomeroy and
Stewart, returned home last night in
special trains, after the first annual
joint picnic of the two stores.
Something doing every minute of
the day" was printed on the program
of events, but it ought to have been
something doing every second of the
day." 1t would have been more like
1t.
Harrisburg's delegation started
with a parade over the city streets.
headed by the Periwinkle band under
the leadership of Leroy Houck. Next
came the marching battalion with
blue serge coats, white trousers and
white hats, each man carrying a large
silk American flag. Captain L. V,
Harvey had charge of this division.
Following were the "suffragettes''
dressed in white with yellow banners
bearing the inscription, Votes for wo-
men" Miss Minnie Hoffman and Miss
Maude Frye were the officers of this
company.
The Harrisburg train, composed of
ten coaches full of picnickers pulled
out of the Harrisburg station
promptly at l o'clock. as three cheers

FirestOne Has Remarkable
Increase in Sales

Since 1901, when the Firestone
Tire and Rubber Company moved into
the new enormous factory, the sales
have grown from s7.462,5s1.1 to
$25,1S7, ,SS4.33, making a total increase
of 257 per cent. for the past five
years. This past year, 1886, the in
crease to June l was 3S per cent. over
the remarkable showing of last year.
When the new factory was erected
five years ago it was the largest ex-
elusive tire plant in America. Yet to
take care of the Firestone business
since then it has had to be tripled in
size.
This has been done, wing by wing,
and because of the foresight of the
builders these additions have been
made without loss in production ef-
ficiency.
Aside from the interest attaching to
such staggering array of figures there
are other values to the motorist in this
news of the immense growth and in
crease of Firestone tire sales.
There is, first. the fact that all
when the discriminating public sets its
seal of approval on any product of in
dustry, especially one of the wide and
universal importance attaching to
every kind of tire.
And there is the further fact that
this enormous volume means that Fire
stone quality can be had at average
price. Worldwide appreciation of the
FireStone standard enables that stand
ard to be maintained at lower produc-
ton cost by the logic of industrial law.
Saving Is further insured to the mo-
torist who uses Firestones by the Fire
stone methods of distribution. These
are so efficient and economical that
the mere fact of getting the tires to

At o'clock. the Reading special
train left Hershey and the good-byes
were said. A rousing cheer was given
as the many newly-made friends de-
parted, and the Harrisburg delegation
began preparations for the trip home.
During the next hour little groups
of young and old gathered on the
lawns beside the station and sang
popular songs, between cheers.
Shortly after 10 o'clock the train
pulled out but the picnickers weren't
through. They were tired, and a bit
sleepy, but the cheering didn't stop.
AT the Reading station in Harrisburg,
parade was formed again and with
the band in the lead the crowd again
marched over the downtown streets,

men in the five camps ranged in order
along the shore of Lake Champlain
approximates 1000.
Wood Addresses Rockies
The first day was spent in issuing
equipment, being registered and as
signed to tents. Companies of squads
were formed and noncommissioned Of
ficers appointed. Major General Leon
ard Wood was in camp and addressed
the rookie son their drill plain in the
evening. The younger students are
experiencing their second week of
work and will go on the rifle range in
day or two.
Several troops of cavalry and a
small number of machine guns and

Business Before Pleasure
Business before pleasure is the
watchword of the training camp here.
General Wood said that the camp as
organized constitutes about two-thirds
OF war brigade and he urged that
the men adopt a serious attitude
toward the work and take q pride
in II. The commander of the eastern
division of the United States Army
talked frankly and outspokenly on the
subject of the militia and universal
and compulsory military training,
which he so heartily advocates along
the lines of the Swiss system. Equality
of obligation as we'll as equality of
opportunity" was the way he phrased
his conception of younger America s
duty to the country. His casual refer

Greet Reading Crowd
Upon their arrival at Hershey, the
hundreds from the Harrisburg store
paraded to the green facing the
westbound track, and lined up to
greet the Reading crowd. A few min
ures later the second train pulled in
with the Berks countians, and then
the rioting began. Cheer after cheer
and one band selection after another
kept things moving for a quarter of
an hour. To add to the fun the Read
ing crowd brought surprise. 1t was
the Schnitzelbank band of the
Schuylkill Fire Company, of that city.
The Reading employees then lined
up and sang a song composed for the
occasion to the tune of the "Rajah
March"
Half a Mile of I'm
The parade to the baseball grounds
was the next order OF the day, and the
picnickers formed a procession almost
half a mile in length. During the
remainder of the afternoon games and
contests were the features.
At SIS luncheon was served in the
big Hershey cafe and the merrymak-
ing continued when ]. S. Baum, who
had charge of the amusements with
Ralph w. Kinsey, OF Reading, an
nounced a series of solos. and a men
tai telepathy stunt" Popular songs
were sung and then the crowd fled
out into the open once more for the
closing events of the big day.
Band Concerts
Band concerts were started at Z
o'clock, the first by the Hershey band,
and the second by the Periwinkle
band, of the Harrisburg store. The
men were attired IN new uniforms
and received much applause as they
opened the program. Nobody knew
exactly what was being played be-
cause of the humorous signs which
were exhibited in the platform Here
is one of them:
'-FUI-X?"
The printed programs circulated
helped add to the merriment. a few
of the numbers were Patriotism, BY

The hit of the evening, however,
was little singing concert by the
Schnitzelbank bano. The song, of
course, was "SchnItzelbank." The
encore was Pop, Goes the Weasel"
