Mr.. Belin was educated at the Hop

on his NJ. A., coming at once upon

he was sent TO Scranton 10 take charge
OF the dupont powder business in the
anthracite region. a business at that
time only commencing to unfold, the
great anthracite development being still
In It's infancy.
Moving to Scranton IN 1869 Mr.. Belln
practically took part In the FIRST nifty
years OF the life Of the city, the cele-

his part was a leading one whether

faciurer's and merchants standpoint,
that the peninsula ever knew and the
crop output, along almost every line
has been record breaking. Prices Tor
farm products have been exceptionally
good. So, while Wilmington has been
prosperous industrially. the resi- OF the
State has been very successful agricul-
turally and the result is that nearly
everyone, even those Of limited in
comes in former years, have plenty TO
spend now The automobile trade in the
rural communities as we'll as in Viii
mington, during the coming year,
should be exceptionally good, for these
reasons.
Wages have increased TO such an eX-
tent IN Wilmington that the motor car
is now within reach Of nearly every
body and many mechanics own them
with prospects for a larger per centage
of such owners this year. Lots OF small
merchants are now car owners and
more Of them will get into this class
in 1918 Garage space, even now, is st
a premium and small garages, both pub
lie and private, are being erected even
when other building operations are
somewhat tied UP through the building
material situation.
Altogether there is enough prosperity
in the state TO so around and this win
result in interest in The automohils
show in January and an attendance
which promises TO break all records.
