Milford chronicle., 1921-03-25

Vegetable growers in this section
have always been handicapped by a
lack of market for their product. This
will be relieved somewhat this year,
Lingo, Black Company, of Milton, have
opened an egg, fruit and produce mar
ket at 5252 Market street, Philadel-
phia. They will buy farm produce
here and sell direct to the consumers
in that city. The Philadelphia store
will be in charge of Norris Black.
This venture will mean al outlet for
the farm produce at better prices
than received when it is to be con-
sumed here.
The James H. Palmer Lumber Com
pany got out and delivered more than
a thousand dollars worth of railroad
ties to the M. d. & V. Ry. Co., this
week. They are to be shipped to
Pennsylvania where they will be Civ
en- a bath of creasote, which lengthens
their usefulness several years, before
being used on the road.
The button factory is running at
top speed to supply the orders for
that product. The payroll of this con-
Germ means much to the merchants
of Milton. Every machine is filled and
it is likely that more machines will
be added soon, giving employment to
more men and boys. MIR. LippincOtt is
contemplating the erection of a factory
building here and the addition of fin
ishing machines, which will give en-
plOyment to many women and girls.
The mine prop and piling business
shows revival, several carloads were
shipped from this town this week.
This business has been at standstill
for the past two months, putting out
of employment scores of men, and its
revival is pleasing to dealers and 9TH
er business men.
William Maull of Wilmington is
spending some time with his family
here. Mr.. Maull was employed as
blacksmith with the Harland & Hol-
lingsworth Shipbuilding Co., but was
laid off by retrenching orders of the
company.
The young people of Milton will
give their Easter dance in the Fox
Theatre on Monday night, March 28th.
I Guests from Milford, Georgetown and
Lewes are expected.
The large peach orchard on the
Chandler farm is blooming and is a
very pretty sight. If the number of
blossoms is an indication this orchard !
will produce a tremendous crop this !
year. The sight of this orchard in full
bloom is worth travelling miles to
see.
Little Miss Sarah Darby, who has
been quite i'll, is rapidly recovering !
and will soon be out among her
friends again.
