Wide-Awake Independents
Progress

Competition from corporate chain
store systems isn't discOuraging the
progressive independent merchant.
This is the gist of some figures
from PoOr's Industry and Invest
ment Surveys, dealing with the
amazing growth Of voluntary"
chain systems, whereby a central
organization is created to buy on a
big scale for member stores and so
reduce middleman. shipping and
ether overhead and in-between
costs.
According to this authority, there
were 375 such voluntary chains with
54,797 stores in 1929. In 1884. there
were us voluntary chains with 1O3,-
3S4 stores.
Wide-awake independents, instead
OF bewailing the competition of cor
porate chain systems, are competing
with corporate chains on a basis OF I
and consumer benefits.

The Plant men, as fast as their
trucks could get through, and on
foot when the trucks were blocked,

Mr.. w. r. Benn, who now halls

has been east on a trip and visited
Townsend last week his first visit
in forty years. He found the town
and surrounding sections greatly
different from the days when he
lived near here back in 1896 and
1897. His memory went back to
the days when racing drew crowds
to Townsend from the four corners
of the Delmarva peninsula. His
first query was about the race
track which was ably managed by
the late James L. Dickinson and
noted for the best meets of trot
ters and PAGERS on the peninsula.
Mr.Benn was evidently greatly sur
prised and sorry to learn that the
race track had gone.

$50 LOSE JOBS
AT C & D CANAL
Funds Are Exhausted Is Civ
en- AS Reason For the
Big Lay-Off
MORE ARE TO FOLLOW

About $50 men. mostly laborers,
were laid off yesterday from the
u. S. Engineers project on the
Chesapeake and Delaware Canal.
About 1900 men from Baltimore
are also to be laid off. The reason
given by the U. S. Engineers Of
fee in Philadelphia for the lay off
is the exhaustion of funds. 1t was
said that one Of the expensive
items in the project was transport
ing the laborers daily from Will
mington and Baltimore respective
ly to the canal. The men had been
engaged in hard labor operations"
which consisted of building banks
around the areas into which dredg-
ed material had been pumped. How
the $50 men, mostly from Whining
ton, will be absorbed into other
lines Of work is a problem yet to
be solved by federal employment
agencies, including the United
States Employment Service and
the WPA. The lay-off however,
does not include the men who are
working on the c. and d. canal un-
der private dredging contracts. Al
though the $50 men laid off were
not employed through the Della
ware WPA Office, WPA Admins
TRAITOR Holcomb has been notified of
the layoff. 1--WE hope that many of
them will be absorbed in highway
construction work." Mr.. Holcomb
said. 81 understand the State
Highway Department is about
ready to start on highway projects
and these men may obtain employ
Gnent there" However, the New
Castle Levy Court and Mayor
Frank Collins of Newark, chair
man of the Temporary Emergency
Relief Commission, had said last
week, not knowing of the c. and D.
Canal lay off, that the men already
on relief rolls might be absorbed
into employment on proposed high
way projects. In the event any of
the $50, men cannot be absorbed
into private work, neither they nor
their families will be able to be
cared from by the TERC because
of the Levy Court resolution last
week that all direct public relief in
the county will end on May / and
the Appropriation to TERC for April
is such as would not allow an in
crease of the relief rolls.
