since there was two banks doing
business in that town. The business
could not have been of such a pay
ing character as to warrant both in
stitutions to continue in business,
and in consequence the larger bank
absorbed the smaller one. The Ques-
tion is, can the new bank do any
better than the one which has been
closed? Do these small places re-
uuire two banks to take care of its
financial affairs? viii the business
be of such volume as will pay the
stockholders a satisfactory interest
on the money invested?
Ellendale is a growing town. The
farmers are progressive and up to
date in every way, and would give
to either a national bank or trust
company a hearty support. The
nearest bank to the town is seven
miles away and entails on those who
are engaged in business consider
able trouble to reach it. Our fruit
brokers do a heavy business during
the warm season and our dealers in
poultry and eggs are second to none
in their line. Our merchants are up
to date. One which packs tomatoes
and beans, another which puts up
pulp in cans and catsup in bottles.
-The third, a steam saw mill which
does all kinds of saving and man
ufactures crates, hampers and bas-
kets in large quantities. We have
other businesses of a smaller nature
such as millinery, confectionery and
meat stores. We have also three gar
ages which are up to date and do
ing a nice business. Taking every
thing in consideration, we believe
that a financial institution which
would cater to the wants of the peo-
pie would be a paying investment
from the beginning. We wish to say
to our friends nearby that we hope
success will crown their efforts to
establish a new bank, but if, for any
cause, it doesn't pay, then move out
to Glendale, bag and baggage and
we will try to furnish the necessary
power which will make it go for
ward with a rush.

There is a stretch of wood land
on the west side of the du Pont
boulevard which is known as part OF
FlIendaIe Swamp. The beauty of the
scenery displayed by this piece of
forest is not equaled anywhere IN
Delaware. To make it more beautiful
would require the touch Of land
scape gardener, and the financial
help of the State Highway Commls-
sion or some rich friend who would
like to see this land improved, and
made a resting place for tourists
and others who use the road. What
is needed is the underground cut
and walks laid out, pavillians and
tables built, swings erected ana
grounds so fixed that other games
can be indulged in. If these I'M
provements are made what a splen-
did place for picnics it would be-
come. We hope that the powers VINO
control the boulevard or some one
who desires to see this spot made
more beautiful will get busy and
helm bring about the desired result
We are quite sure that the gentle
men who owns this particular piece
of land will for the purposes above
named dispose of it on very liberal
terms.
