The replies coming into the Del
Mar-Va advertising, which has been
conducted in the newspapers within a
days journey Of the peninsula, have
all but swamped the organization, it
was learned last week.
Hundreds Of people have written
asking for information on touring,
points of interest, hotels, resorts, etc,
and over fifty inquiries from parties
interested in buying farms. An Of
fetal of the Chamber of Commerce
said: "The results Of the Peninsula
Advertising have brought results far
beyond expectations Of many of US.
The fact that more foreign cars were
registered on Delaware roads during
the month of June can be attributed in
part to this campaign. More than
fifty requests are on file with the
Chamber Of Commerce from persons
who are interested in purchasing
farms on the peninsula. These in
quiries are available to the members
of this organization who have farms
for SALE
"The advertising Of the peninsula
has been divided into three fields. The
first, to attract the weekend motor
lists, tourists and vacationists. The
second, is to attract parties interest
ed in buying summer homes on the
peninsula. The third, which will be
conducted this winter, will be directed

venient tent to carry and also to
set up. To enjoy tenting, one must
also have a place to sleep and to
sit. The folding furniture that one
may now obtain at Fifields packs in
little space, unfoIds to ample size,
and Is sturdy. Folding camp cots,
folding camp chairs. and folding
camp tables are much to be desired.
Folding canvas water buckets are
very useful What is camping,
without eating? And what Is food
without a good stove to use in the
preparation of it? The American
Gas Machine Company distribute
their famous Kampkook stove thru
tffield's. This little gas stove
operates simply and surely. and is
built in such a manner as to be
safe and enduring. The picnic
party, as well as the regular tent

lunch kits, which F'ifield Bros. Co.,
have in sizes for two, four and six
people. These pack neatly into a
case similar to suitcase so that
they may be readily transported
either in or out Of the car. Camp
ing and sporting clothing are also
carried at Fifield's and fill many a
comfort requirement.

Whiffiewhoofer to Mr.. Leslie Hall,
radio man of Fifield's, opp. depot.
That is the question a lot of peo-
pie ask. Yet these same people
think without question that they
must have better automobile than
the old hack they have been driv-
ing all summer. improvements are
being made all the time in radio just
the same as in other things. Not
so many winters ago we can recol-

of fiexes and dynes and a lot of
them were good in their day. but
most of them are now where the

The Chain Market

When winter driving becomes a
reality, the use of chains is as nee
essary as is that of gasoline. FL
field Bros Co., after some inter-
esting experimenting are convinced
that the Mckay chain. which they
handle, is superior to any other
of the various makes offered for
non-skid purposes. One of these
experiments was to take a set of
chains used on the salesmen's cars
and to insert every other link with
Mckay and competitive cross
chains. In this way the actual ROAD
tests gave the different kinds of
cross chains equal punis, snent.
Without exception, the Mckay cross
chains were still in good condition
for many more miles when the
others had worn thru to the break
ing point. To one whose work
takes him out a great deal in the
winter, a set of Mckay chains will
make a very acceptable present.

The Tire Situation

At this Christmas season. it is
particularly pleasing that the tire
situation is as favorable for the
consumer as at any time for many
moons. These times are hard on
tires, and at any moment the old
faithful shoe that has rolled many
miles with you may give up and re-
quire replacement. Norwalk tires
at Fifield's are especially good value
for the money. The price is in
keeping with that of the other lead
ing makes of tires. The quality is
among the leaders, as well. The
four basic patents held by Norwalk
are four guarantees of better tires,
because these insure every tire a
good one, and uniformity in con-
struction that gives maximum life.
A tire to the car owner may at
first seem a foolish sort of a gift,
yet, on sober consideration, what is
capable of giving to the family
more pleasure and comfort than a
Norwalk Tire. The tubes are rec
ognized as best for heavy duty by
those who operate all kinds of
automobiles in all kinds of wealth.
er. They are used by corporations
whose costs are cut to the limit by
exhaustive economy tests. Fifield
Bros. Co.. have distributed these
tires for more than nine years and
have felt that in doing so they have
been giving the public the best they
have been able to buy.

much of this may be traced to FL

When folks from the country
seek relief from their pent-up feel

folks from the congested districts
wish respite from their labors. they
take for the country. OF late sum-
mers there have been an increasing
number of people who are enjoying
the out of door life with equipment
sold by Fffield's, opp. the depot,

camping. Some desire only the
picnic pleasures. For either of these

neces sary accessories. OF the tents
