              ROUND TRIP REDUCED
TO FIVE CENTS
Manager Heilman lowered Pare of
the Round Trip On the Scenic •
Railway to Accommodate Pa-trons
t of New Carrousel : .
On Tuesday Manager :Heilman, of
Hershey Park, lowered the price of
the round trip on the Miniature Kail-way
from ten to five cents the round
trip, in order . to . accommodate the
large number of persons desirous of
riding to the new Carrousel, and at
the same time not being willing to
pay ten cents to get there and have a
return ride. This new adjustment
will prove highly satisfaction, and the
low fare will cause a great.many
more pleasure rides to be taken 'in .,
the evenings on this scenic railroad.'
The round trip is a delightful one and
since two of them can now be enjoyed
for the price of one formerly, there
will be an increase "of patronage of/
this pleasant amusement.

to hear of it. Records like this are
not made every year.
