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

SATURDAY EVENING,
1 were given by the merry crowd.
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.

Reading won in two trials, receiving
a box of cigars; the results of the
bowling matches were taken by Read
ing. "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.

they have done in preserving clear skins,
clean scalps, and good hair as well as in
preventing little skin troubles becoming

about by using no other soap for toilet

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

Firestone Has Remarkable
Increase in Sales
Slnco 1910-11, when the Firestone!
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 !
