7,000 At Grocers' Picnic
PICNIC DRAWS S.F. MERCHANTS
Rainbow Stores Hold Fourth Annual Affair

The Rainbow Stores, sponsored by the V. Traverso Co., wholesale grocers, gave their fourth annual picnic on Saturday, June 25. Seven thousand people were there-grocers, their families, their customers, the manufacturers, their families, and "everybody."

Enjoy Fun

They cam from as far as San Rafael on the north, and Monterey on the south_7000 people-to enjoy just about the finest picnic people ever held by any grocery organization on the Pacific coast at any time in our remembrance.

In the morning a ball game was enjoyed in which the grocers carried off the "honors" with a 26-10 score, and in the afternoon the grocers again beat the manufacturers in the tug-of-war, a regular event at the annual picnic.

Music Furnished

Many games and races were enjoyed by young and old and a first class orchestra, through the courtesy of the California Baking Co., furnished dance music all the afternoon.
