The Merchants and Manufacturers' Association of Philadelphia 1b going to make the third of Its "trade booming" excursions' a record breaking event. Seventy-five of the members will start on May 2 In a solid steel Pullman car outfit and spend four days in visiting the smaller towns within a radiusOf 200 miles. They will spend their en tire time on the train, except when holding receptions In the towns visited. They will be provided with sleeping ears, dining cars and club -car accom modations, the train being practically l traveling men's hotel of the highest type. No samples will be carried, but at each town the trade boomers will meet the nerchants of the place, giv ing them an opportunity to become per sonally acquainted with the heads of the Philadelphia firms, an opportunity many of them have not heretofore en joyed, although probably having dealt with each other for years. .
