FRIDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH MAY 22, 1914
Gigantic Trip to Big
Cities of Country Is
Now Talk of Tradesmen
Believing they have popularized
Harrisburg as a business and manu-'
facturing center, members of the
Harrisburg Chamber of Commerce last j
night returned home from a two-day j
abouts.
So successful was the trip that'
members of the Chamber are now 1
talking of a gigantic trip to Pitts- 1
burgh, Rochester. Buffalo, Cleveland, ,
Detroit, Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Co
lumbus, and so on throughout the
middle East and West, where Har
risburg is not so well known as here
bouts.
All that happened, and the many
good things accomplished, would till
a big book. A list of names of other
busy men met, and of those who were
glad for an opportunity to shake hands
with Harrisburg's boosters, would till
another book. Three counties and ten
towns were visited. In each town
Harrisburg's representative business
men and manufacturers made the ac
quaintance of many wide-awake citi
zens. The reception accorded Har
risburgers everywhere was cordial and
invitations were extended to return
at an early date. Referring to the
value of the trip, not only to the mem
bers, but to Harrisburg, Robert M.
Wadsworth, secretary of the Harris
burg Chamber of Commerce, said to
day:
Wadswortli on Results
"It will be difficult to describe to
members of the Chamber and others
who didn't go the cordiality which
marked our reception everywhere and
the good feeling toward the Harrls
burk representatives, and it will be
impossible to estimate the degree to
which this project, novel in Eastern
Pennsylvania, has popularized the
Harrisburg market as a whole; how it
hns broadened our trade relations with
these cities and how it marks Harris
burg as a city that not only has been
progressive at home but proposes to
be aggressive in exploiting this city
outside.
"There has been some talk of a
longer trip to some of the larger cities
of the Middle States, Pittsburgh, Ro
chester, Buffalo, Cleveland, Detroit,
Indianpolls, Cincinnati, Columbus,
etc., where Harrisburg is not as well
known.
"As in adjacent counties, we could
go either alone in a small party or
jointly with representatives of the
business organizations of Reading,
York and Uincaster if our members
consider it f1 feasible and valuable
project."
Before leaving Lancaster the tour
ists were surprised to receive an early
call from members of the Lancaster
Chamber of Commerce. Autos were
waiting and took the llarrisburgers
about tho city. The trip included a
visit to the Hamilton watch works.
It was the first visit ever made by an j
organization to this plant. '

considerable drawback to the resump- j
tion of the improvement work all over
town, but it is doubtful if the hin
drance has been felt so severely as on
the wall and the dam.
The work on the dam. it is expect
ed, will hardly be taken up before June
15 or July 1. The river stage must
get down to less than three feet be- j
fore the wall acivlties can be recom
menced. At the present time, how
ever, the river is in the neighborhood j
of. four feet.
Work on the Paxton creek improve- i
ment has been going ahead at such
points where the higli water doesn't j
interfere. Most of the activity has'
been confined to "lining," however.
Subway Work Monday
On Monday, according to President j
Stucker, of the contracting company j
to-day, excavations for the subways j
at Front and Second streets will be j
started. Work on the construction of |
the sewer that is to drain the section j
Is going rapidly forward. The Stuck- |
er Brothers' Company yesterday j
placed one of the great steam shovels ■
in position in Front street, so that the
job can be started promptly.
The disposition of the 20,000 yards
of earth to be used for "fill" by the
city Park Department on the River
Front below Market street to Iron
alley, has not been decided definitely
as yet, but it is understood that Park
Superintendent Taylor is to have the
used of the earth. Most of this dirt
will be placed on the banks between
the edge of the walk and the present
line of the bank, and so insure a uni
formity of line.
The staff of the city Engineering
Department is busy getting ready the
specifications for the various sewers
provided for by the passage of the
Lynch "omnibus" ordinance,money for
which was made available yesterday by
the delivery of the $140,000 worth of
1913 improvement bonds. About
j $50,000 of the money is to be spent for
sewers.
The $55,000 to be expended this year
for parks will not be touched until
after the City Planning Commission,
Park Superintendent Taylor and En
gineer Warren H. Manning get to
gether again, at least. Mr. Manning
is expected here the latter part of
next week. The SIO,OOO asked for by
Mr. Taylor for purchase of motor fire
'apparatus will be needed Monday,
i when bids will be opened. Coinmls
jsioner W. H. Lynch will spend the re
| maining money in erecting the street
asphalt repair plant.
Monday morning Park Commis
sioner Taylor will begin the work of
placing fifty tons of crushed stone on
the park paths on the River Front
j from Market street to the pumping
• station. The paths will be rolled and
, edged so that the inconvenience of
i the soft mud paths will be eliminated.

Manheim folks gave the Harrisburg
ers a warm welcome and a big feed.
1 he burgess welcomed the visitors and
regretted that the visit was so short.
At Lebanon after a welcome from the
Board of Trade of that city a trip to
the Cornwall ore banks was made
Then came a trip through the city and
was followed with a departure for
Hershey.
At Hershey the entire afternoon
was spent in seeing the chocolate
plant and visiting the Hershey store.
At the latter place an interesting inci
dent was recorded.
While the Harrisburgers were being
shown about one of the departments
William H. Bennethuni Jr., remained
in the clothing department. A cus
tomer walked in. There was no sales
man on hand, so Mr. Bennethum took
off his hat and started to work. He
sold the customer a $lO raincoat and
turned the cash over to the cashier.
Another interesting incident was the
sale of Manheim Old Home Week pro
grams and copies of tho Harrisburg
Telegraph to the tourists by W. R.
Blough. Purchasers received no
change. The sales amounted to $7.50
and the money was turned over to
the treasurer of the Harrisburg Cham
ber of Commerce. At 5.30 the final
dinner was served and it was a big
feast.
W. R. Murrie, president of the Her
shey Chocolate Company, welcomed
the party. Manager Clark, of the
Hershey store, also spoke. Short talks
were made by George A. Gorgas, A. E.
Buchanan, J. W. Bowman, George W.
Bofcar and Herman Tausig regarding
their experiences on the trip. Robert
W. Hoy gave a humorous talk. S. S.
Eberts surprised all by making a flow
ery, serious sermon on the necessity
of human character as an element of
progress. Mr. Tripp said:
"I hope this is but the forerunner of
many more such trade extension trips.
Although this one was at first consid
ered with some disdain by many of the
members because it was a new thing,
I feel sure that everyone now is en
thusiastic, and I am satisfied that
much good has been accomplished for
ourselves and for Harrisburg. The
fact of so many busy men spending
two days, and not directly talking busi
ness or taking orders for their wares,
shows a spirit of good fellowship as
well as a desire for commercial better
ment. I think all in the party have
seen new tilings and schemes of valut
to introduce into their business."
On the return trip to Harrisburg
prizes were awarded to the best "story
tellers." A. E. Buchanan, division pas
senger agent for the Pennsylvania
Railroad, won first prize, a pearl
handled knife. The second prize went
t > Robert Hoy, a knit doll. At mid
night seventy-two members of the
Harrisburg Chamber retired feeling
happy and satisfied that the trip was
profitable and joyful.

That Mrs. Catherine Miller, 1323
