It is true that business has not been all it might be through the winter, but the spring impulse has just started and we are probably on the eve of the best business in some time. Silver Creek has been advertising itself now for two years and is about to draw dividends on that advertising. The touring season soon will begin and the volume of tourist trade promises to be much larger than ever before. The experiment pulled off by Andy Geitner Monday of this week shows what can be done with a little cooperation and intelligent effort in the way of bringing business to Silver Creek. It is hoped that such efforts will be continued and even improved upon from time to time as experience points the way. The weather will be such that the ostrich and alligator park will be under way again. Mr. Plum has renewed the lease and has already received one of the Dickinson & Ward lunch wagons. It is reported that the Lucas gas station contiguous to the Park also will have close competition. Personally we believe there will be plenty of business for both of them and some to spare. There will be times when all four lunch wagons in Silver Creek will be rushed to the limit and perhaps turning customers away. It stands to reason that the tourist trade will be heavier than ever before this year, and there will be times when all facilities wil fall short of caring properly for it. With four lunch wagons on the job catering to tourists we have a constant advertisement not only for the town itself but for the lunch wagon manufacturers, and we venture to say that man good inquiries will be recieved and sales made as a result of the unusual spectacle of lunch wagons in pairs, practically adjoining each other, in the same small town. Let us all pull together and make the place one to be remembered by auto visitors this year. Apr 2 : George Dickinson will take his new lunch wagon to Newark, NY next week.
