Four Bean Salad

This is from the recipe drawer of Maxine.  She is my husband's aunt.  I found this recipe on a card in her handwriting:
This is a classic southern salad, often found at church potluck dinners and picnics.  I'm not sure that I ever had any of Aunt Maxine's Four Bean Salad, but if you did, let us know what you liked about it.  The recipe is simple and uncomplicated, perfect for a beginning cook.

1 can of green beans
1 can of yellow wax beans
1 can of kidney beans
1 can of garbanzo beans

1)  Drain and wash all beans.

1 large Bermuda onion
1 green pepper
1 bunch of celery

2)  Chop vegetables and mix with beans.
3)  Cover with a mixture of:

3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup vinegar
1/2 cup salad oil  (this is the same as vegetable oil)
1 teaspoon salt
pepper to taste

4) Let stand for a day before serving.  Keeps well in refrigerator.
