4 DIVES, POMEROY & STEWART FAMILY O D. P. & S. FOLK MERRY A T ON AFTERNOON OFF' Tired and happy after nine hours of continuous merrymaking and fun at Hershey, the many hundreds of em ployes of the Reading and Harris burg stores of Dives, Pomeroy and Stewart, returned homo last night in special trains, after the first annual Joint picnic of the two stores. "Something doing every minute of the day" was printed on the program of events, but It ought to have been "something doing every second of tho day." It would have been more like It. Harrisburg's delegation started with a parade over the city streets, headed by the Periwinkle band under the leadership of Leroy Houck. Next came the marching battalion with blue serge coats, white trousers and white hats, each man carrying a large Bilk American flag. Captain L. V. I Harvey had charge of this division Following were the "suffragettes" j dressed in white with yellow banners bearing the Inscription. "Votes for wo men." Miss Minnie Hoffman and Miss Maude Frye were the officers of this ' company. The Harrisburg train, composed of 1 ten coaches full of picnickers pulled I out of the Harrisburg station I promptly at 1 o'clock, as three cheers FOR SALE FINE HOMES Fourth and Emerald streets; sample house open day and night.

Greet Reading Crowd Upon their arrival at Hershey, the | hundreds from the Harrisburg store j paraded to the green facing the westbound track, and lined up to greet the Reading ci-owd. A few min uTbs later the second train pulled in with the Berks countians, and then the rioting began. Cheer after cheer, 1 and one band selection after another kept things moving for a quarter of an hour. To add to the fun the Read ing crowd brought a surprise. It was ' the Schnitzelbank band, of the j Schuylkill Fire Company, of that city. I The Reading employes then lined up and sang a song composed for the occasion to the tune of the "Rajah j March." Half a Mile of '«in The parade to the baseball grounds was the next order of the day, and the picnickers formed a procession almost half a mile in length. During the remainder of the afternoon games and contests were the features. At 5.15 luncheon -was served in the big Hershey cafe and the merrymak ing continued when J. S. Baum, who ' had charge of the amusements with I Ralph W. Kinsey, of Reading, an ! nounced a series of aoios, and a raen | tal telepathy "stunt." Popular songs were sung and then the crowd filed 1 out into the open once more for the closing events of the big day. Band Concerts Band concerts were started at 7 o'clock, the first by the Hershey band, and the second by the Periwinkle band, of the Harrisburg store. The men were attired m new uniforms and received much applause as they opened the program. Nobody knew exactly what was being played be cause of the humorous signs which were exhibited in the platform. Here is one of them: FUI—X?" The printed programs circulated helped add to the merriment. A few of the numbers were "Patriotism, Bv Gosh"; "Going Cp. By Air"; "March of the Weiner Wursts, By Schpotz Onf"Blasting Rapshody. Bv a 42- centimeter"; "As Usual, Hats, Off." The hit of the evening, however, was a little singing concert by the Schnitzelbank band. The song, of course, was "Schnitzelbank." The encore was "Pop, Goes the Weasel." Cup for S. I>. Clark One of the big features of the after noon was the presentation of a silver loving cup to Samuel D. Clark, form erly with Dives, Pomeroy and Stewart, and now manager of the Hershey De partment store. The gift was from the Reading and Harrisburg store forces, and R. J. Calm, of Reading made the presentation speech. George S. Pomeroy then presented Mr. Clark with a traveling bag. Short talks were made by the men, and also by Colonel H. C. Demmlng. Immediately following the reception ceremonies before the athletic events started, the company of men with flags gave a drill, and a large group picture of the employes was taken.

"Top" Miller, of Harrisburg, was the high man, he received a $2.50 gold piece. At 9 o'clock, the Reading special train left Hershey and the good-byes were said. A rousing cheer was given as the many newly-made friends de parted, and the Hurrishurg delegation began preparations for the trip home. During the next Hour little groups of young and old gathered on the lawns beside the station and sang popular songs, between cheers. Shortly after 10 o'clock the train pulled out but the picnickers weren't through. They were tired, and a bit sleepy, but the cheering didn't stop. At the Reading station in Harrlsburg, a parade was formed again and with the band In the lead, the crowd again marched over the downtown streets, before leaving for their homes.

Clark, Charles Williams, Newton Speese, of Dauphin; Coyle Kennedy, of Cham bersburg; Fred Lapp and a number of other Harrisburgers are also in camp. Business Before Pleasure Business before pleasure is the watchword of the training camp here. General Wood said that the camp as organized constitutes about two-thirds of a war brigade and ho urged that the men adopt a serious attitude toward tho work and take a pride in it. The commander of the eastern I division of the United States Army talked frankly and outspokonly on the subject of the militia and universal and compulsory military training, which he so heartily advocates along the lines of the Swiss system. "Equality of obligation as well as equality of opportunity" was the way he phrased his conception of younger America's duty to the country. His casual refer ence to the folly of believing that we could raise a million men over night brought a laugh at the expense of W. J. B.

Tire and Rubber Company moved into ! the new enormous factory, the sales j have grown from $7,462,581.17 to $25,187,884.33, making a total increase l of 257 per cent., for the past five years. This past year, 1915-16, the in- i create to June 1 was 38 per cent, over ! the remarkable showing of last year. When the new factory was erected I five years ago it was the largest ex- i elusive tire plant in America. Yet to I take care of the Firestone business j since then it has had to be tripled in j size. "This has been done, wing by wing. ; and because of the foresight of the builders these additions have been made without loss in production ef ficiency. Aside from the interest attaching to such a staggering array of figures there ! are other values to the motorist in this ; news of the immense growth and in- ! crease of Firestone tire sales. There is, first, the fact that all ! Americans "sit up and take notice" i when the discriminating public sets its seal of approval on any product of in dustry, especially one of the wide and j universal importance attaching to' every kind of tire. And there is the further fact that this enormous volume means that Fire- j stone quality can be had at average 1 price. World-wide appreciation of the Firestone standard enables that stand- | ard to be maintained at lower produc- j tion cost by the logic of industrial law. I Saving is further insured to the mo torist who uses Firestones by the Fire- ! stone methods of distribution. These ' are so efficient and economical that the mere fact of getting the tires to !
