Describes trip from time of Leaving
Philadelphia until his arrival
in Berlin, Germany.
29-30 Passauer Strosse,
Berlin, Germany.
Dear Friends:
I do not know what we have told
you about our trip and life here. We
hud a delightful voyage of 11 days
(slow hut large lw>at) from Philadel-
phia to Liverpool hours in En ♦
gland two days on the North Sea i +
Hamburg Saturday to Monday Ber-
lin. Crossed England in daylight to
Grimsby. England and Ireland were
as green as you ever saw America ii
May or June glorious. Saw lattei
from boat only. Grimsby, largest
tlshing port in the world it smells
and looks the part. Hamburg is sec-
ond shipping port in the world Lon-
don first. We sailed up the beautiful
Elbe 70 miles for Hamburg is that
far up the river. Here the ships of the
world bring their loads of economic 1
goods to the |>eople of Europe and
carry away what northern Europe has
to give to ti e world. On our way up
the Ell>e we met a gallant ship sailing
out for New York, another on its way
to the East coast of South America
(a trip of 4"> days the pilot who came
aboard told «s), ami among the pass-
engers on our own ship was a ( 'aptam
Burnley who with his daughter, was
to take a ship from Hamburg to the
west coast of South America. His is
a sailing vessel and as I write these
lines he is tossing somewhere on the At-
lantic, for he told me it would take 100
days to make the trip if the weather
was goou—115 the last time. I was
surprised to learn from him that sail-
ing vessels are still much used for
earring freight. He has only his crew
with him and bis daughter, a girl of
18 or 20—she the only woman on
board. This Captain is an English-
man, and true to an English custom
| on ships, he provided marmalade for
I bis crew (we had it also on the
Merlon). He told us he bad ordered a |
half ton of orange marmalade for bin
men'. At liamlwrg we saw the
Hagenbeck's Tbiergarten and St.
Nicholas church—said to be the
tinest sjK'ciman of modern of Gothic
in Europe. Berlin! where shall I !>e-
gin and where stop? Modern, beau,
tiful, clean, artistic—cultvaed. Po-
lice and soldiers every where; statues
and )>eauliful parks (pli et/.e) ate'ery

as you pass lirandenburger Tlior and
walk along Unter den Linden which
leads to the Koyal Pala e a mile from
the Thor. There are other Thors, but
this is the most important one. I see

Pay Your Bills By Check
It prevents disputes, as your checks which ftfe returned
to you at the end of each month, are positive proof of pay-
ment. Besides, when j ou carry money around in your
pocket, you spend a little here and a littln there for unnec-
essary things till your money is gone—and you can't tell
where.
You wouldn't do that, if you had to write a check for
eaoh purchase. The result would be, that in a liftle while
you would have the best kind of an insurance policy againBt
hard times and sickness.
Your money deposited in this hank will be a thousand
times safer than hidden about the house. We solicit your
account and will extend you every courtesy oonsistent with
safe banking. .
Noboddy will know a tbir g about the size of your ac-
count, unless* you tell them.
