in the agricultural grounds and inquiry revealed that the camp had been used regularly all summer sometimes as many as fifty parties using the space the equipment offered war not as extensive as here space was allotted water had to be carried from a distance there was no evidence of facilities for bathing or boating but there were signs on the main street and on three corners calling attention to the camp and di recting tourists to it the main point in all this is not the benefit the town itself gets from having visitors use its space provided gratis but rather the business which comes from it one bobcageon garage man said sure wc sell gas to half of them the best grocer in the town stopped to think for a moment and then smiled why yei we do sell a good deal to thorn they come in just before supper usually and when they get their tents up want milk and butter and bacon und breadi once tn a while when we know theres a lot of tourists in send my boy down to take orders and then he
