GETTING PROPERLY ACQUAINTED.

IN visiting the business OF Milford and Dover today,
the delegation Of members OF the Wholesale Section
Of the Wilmington Chamber OF Commerce is doing some
thing which should have been done many years ago
The trip should be OF much value a OF giving
both the wholesale Of Wilmington and the retail men
downSate better understanding OF their respective rea
tons Their interests mutual should be osered
Moreover, each supplements the other.
Entirely too long has there been gap between the
business Of the localities to the south Of
selves There has been necessity for such feeling,
and it is high time that the mutually OF interests should
be emphasized more strongly and put into practice.
Wilmington the natural gateway to the entire Del
maryis Peninsula Trade the Peninsula egitimatey Is
hers-provided always. that Wilmington is willing and
able to go out and get it at fair and just prices
After all, delegation from the Wholesale Section OF
the Chamber OF Commerce is nothing than coec-
tive body OF statesmen seeking to accomplish exactly the
same purpose that individual salesman for some VIII
minginn wholesale house would stive to do
Whether today's trip results in dollars TO the
business men OF Wilmington is less important than that
greater feeling Of cooperation created between viii
mington and the communities which form the backbone
Of the Stale Of Delaware.
It is to be hoped the plans OF the Wholesale Section will
be taken their correct measurehch is that the idea
all Delaware irrespective OF county lines location
shall pull together for the general prosperity
The mercantile interests OF the State owe II TO the
Wholesale Section OF the Chamber Of Commerce TO accept
their effect greater trade at their face value
The wholesaler OF Wilmington needs the cooperation O.
the merchants Of Delaware just much the re
tail merchant must necessarily rely upon wholesale
house FOR his supply stock
It be hoped sincerely that todays visit to Milford
and Dover will be productive Of something which ulti-
msely may result in a general exchange OF interests to
the benefit Of all concerned.

Fred G. Severns And Thomas
Severns Have An Excit-
ing Experience
REVOLVERS PRESSED
AGAINST MEMS BODY
Severns' Grit Prevented The
Masked Hold-Up Men
From Getting Money

A bold and daring attempt to stage
hold.up was made about 1890
o'clock Saturday night when two
masked men tried to rob Mr.. Fred G.
severns, and his brother, Thomas Sew.
erns at the rear Of the Moose home on
North West street.
Mr.. Severns today in relating Incl.
dents in connection with the expert
ence said that while enroute to his
home from his shoe store and at a
point where the rear entrance to the
Moose home adjoins the sidewalk on
West street, two masked men stepped
out and demanded that he and his
brother, Thomas, throw up their
hands, and at the same time pressed
revolvers against bodies of the men.
Mr.. Severns, who was carrying a
basket of dinner dishes on his left
arm, dropped the basket and showed
fight. Severns' grit evidently had the
desired effect, for the would-be hold
up man fled and the other one, who
had Thomas Severns covered with a
revolver, also took to his heels.
The men ran up the alley at the
rear of the Heard residence and up
towards Sandusky street.
A call was sent for the police and
Officer John French responded in a
short time, but the men had made a
getaway.
Mr.. Fred Severns gave the officer
a good description of the men and au-
thorities think the job was attempted
by local talent.
The men are described as being
about 51s and feet tall, wearing
dark suits, caps and no overcoats.
