Glendale

pie of Glendale and vicinity.
This firm was one of the largest
users of tomatoes of any firm in
Delaware.
The total loss of this factory will
be keenly felt not only by the far
mers and working people but by our
merchants as well.
When the bottling establishment
was in commission, they employed
scores of men and women and in
consequence, their pay roll was large
bringing many comforts to homes
which they would otherwise have
missed.
The Ritter people have large fac
tories at Bridgeton, N. j., and other
points and we hope they can see
their way clear to rebuild their
badly needed factory at this point.
This is a time when our infuen-
tial citizens can be of use eff they
will'O by inducing the Ritter Com
pany to locate their plant at this
place once more.
MANY TRUCKS FROM GLENDALE
Glendale has four lines of trucks
which leave for Philadelphia and
New York. Those which run to New
York make two trips and those
which run to Philadelphia make
four or more. trips weekly.
They are generally loaded with
poultry, eggs and other produce and
some of them bring back southern
vegetables, oranges, lemons etc.
which they distribute to their GUS
TONER'S in nearby towns
We also have the trucks of the
Pennsylvania Railroad which make
daily trips, going both north and
south.
Then we notice the Burris trucks
which run from Baltimore and other
points, bring merchandise which IS
consigned to our merchants mere.
We have several other trucks IN
town which seek loads for outside
points. This is a very good showing
for a town the size of Glendale,
and is conclusive evidence that the
people are wide awake and up with
the times.
CONTRACTING FOR TOMATOES
The Campbell Soup Company OF
Camden, N. j., is contracting for
SeVGIdl
be planted this year.
Representatives of some OF the
large packing concerns of the east
are also in the market for tomatoes.
Delaware grown tomatoes seem TO
be a favorite with the contracting
firms and we think that most OF the
contracts will be let to farmers and
other residing in different parts OF
the State.
We have here several men VINO
engage in the produce business and
are able to handle large portion Oh
some of these contracts being given
out. Why not get busy and try TO
do something to aid the farmers OF
this section. The lands situated IN
this vicinity are adapted to the
growing of tomatoes, not only well,
but abundantly.
DITCH MEETING DAY MARCH 3
Saturday, March 8, will be what IS
known in some parts of Delaware as
"Ditch Meeting Day." At these gath
erings the farmers and other tax
ables interested are supposed to meet
and elect the new officers for the
following year, also assess the pen
Gifts each taxable would receive
during the coming twelve months.
Sometimes it is almost Impossible
TO hold one of these meetings OWING
to the non-attendance OF those WIZ
should be vitality interested.
If the taxes should be advanced
beyond last years assessment then
the absentees will be first ones 10
find fault with those who take prlue
in keeping the ditch in proper con-
dition. Those who fail to take part
in the proceedings of one OF these
meetings should keep quiet.
