of $3.50 for each automobile park

The men said they believed they
were on the public road but as the
land surrounding the lighthouse was

their willingness to pay a reasonable

War of Underselling in
Phila. Fails to Benefit
Wilmington
CHAIN STORES DROP
RATES 2 TO GEMS

Although a cigarette price-slash-
ing war has broken out in Philadel-
phia. smokers in Wilmington are as
yet unlikely TO reap any OF the
benefits.
The opening guns in the war
doomed forth in the Philadelphia
papers this morning, when fun page
advertisements announced cuts in
prices OF from 2 to cents a pack
age by the United Cigar Stores and
the Schultz Cigar Company.
All standard brands OF cigarettes
and tobaccos are effected by the re-
ductions.
When inquiry was made today at
the local stores OF the United and
Schultz companies. their managers
smilingly stated that no change in
prices had been made in Wilmington.
and 80 far as they knew. none was
likely at present
According TO a manager of one Of
the two United Stores. the price-cut-
in Philadelphia. is due to the un-
derselling in cigarettes. which has
been going on there by Independent
tobacconists. Today's slash by the
chain stores goes lower than the in
dependents and Is intended TO
freeze them out" In fact ii was
said that the new prices are lower
than wholesale prices,
Similar explanation was given by
one OF the managers Of the local
Schultz store. as to why Wilmington
smokers will not participate in the
new Philadelphia prices.
There are relatively few indepen-
dent cut-rate cigarette stores in
wilmington. and while II is under
stood these have been doing a fair
trade, the total volume OF their
business has not cut seriously into
