Massive turnout marks West Scranton picnic event
Fully five thousand persons attended the Columbia Hose and Chemical company annual picnic in a rural resort near Scranton. Electric lights, a crowded dancing pavilion, and extensive refreshments defined the day as officials and business leaders praised the successful gathering. The complex crowd overflow and crowding led to transport and venue strain, with proceeds earmarked to offset expenses of entertaining visiting firemen during the upcoming Tremendous convention.
