PPE Footnote:
A few weeks earlier The Evening Journal in Wilmington reported a dispute over unpaid shoes following Belle Boyd's appearance at the Opera House there. Her manager, who had arranged for the shoes to be delivered to her hotel, was arrested.  The newspaper quoted Boyd as saying, "We've got the shoes but haven't the money to pay for them; what are you going to do about it?"

"Belle" Boyd was a Confederate spy during the Civil War. She was also known by names such as "Cleopatra of the Secession" and "Siren of the Shenandoah."

As a result of a corporate merger the Giant Food store in Salisbury which launched in February, 1959 as Super Giant, is no more. The store, under new ownership, is transitioning to an ACME market. 

Giant was a very big deal locally when it began operation on South Salisbury Boulevard as evidenced by an estimated 25,000 persons coming to an Open House at the store the day before its opening, and road traffic coming to the store was estimated to be at least 15,000 vehicles that afternoon.

In its early years in Salisbury Giant offered department store merchandise in addition to its grocery items.

The Ocean City inlet that exists today was created during a 1933 hurricane but it wasn't the first time Mother Nature cut a channel from the Sinepuxent to the Atlantic.  But even with the benefits brought about by the creation of an inlet in 1920, it wasn't or couldn't be maintained.
