Jolly
Party from Bruno Headquarters
Cruise Along the Coast.
TO MEET IN WASHINGTON NEXT YEAR
Enjoy
There was a jolly party of four who embarked
last Thursday on the "Aller" for a cruise along the
coast. In this party were Henry Stadlmair, gen-
eral manager of C. Bruno & Son, Inc., New York;
K. G. Evans, Charles Sonfield and Joseph Sonfield,
traveling representatives of the same house. It
was not long after this particular episode of em-
barking that some of the passengers desired to
change their views on the pleasue of sea taxi riding,
and these were not Mr. Evans, who owns the boat,
and Charles Sonfield, who knows all about water
and its many features. The ride was from Long
Beach to Seabright, N. J., and, either going down
or returning, those who fished caught seventy-one
fluke and sea bass. Those who didn't fish had
plenty of time to soliloquize on whether Columbus
actually did discover America, and if he did it is
doubtless if he could show any more enthusiasm
than did these soliloquizers when the possibilities
of reaching terra firma were shifted from down-
ward to sideways.
