Hook Island Gla.s-

Our Glass Factory is fast demonstrating
its ability to manufacture a. good glass Is
any factory East or West, and better than
some of the large Eastern establishments.
As an evidence of this fact We learn that q
prominent dealer in St. Louis, has con
tracted to take all the window glass they
can make. Heretofore This dealer, whois one
of the largest Wholesale dealers of that city,
has been supplied from factory on the
Ohio River, but, by its obstruction by fire
he was obliged to look elsewhere. An ex'
animation of the work done here, and the
low price at which the company are able to
supply him BY reason of their superior facil
tiles of manufacturing, and the convenience
of shipping, he has decided to take all they
can make. Thus do we see an enterprise,
upon which" many looked with distrust, find
ing ready market, at paying figures, for ell
the ware they can get out, and so it will be
with all other new manufacturing
enterprises. Let us remember these things
and work together to let these facts be
known to the millions of capital that is
locked up in eastern Golfers or making only
a email per cent. in eastern securities. The
year has been a busy one with us, and in no
city of the west are there more encouraging
signs of present and future prosperity. This
is due to just such enterprises, and, what is
better still, there is plenty of room for more.
The magnificent water power at Moline. ca
pable alone, of supporting hundreds of gil
gsntic manufactures with thousands OF
operatives-the rapidly developing facili'
ties for manufacturing at Camden Mills, to
gether with our facilities for shipping, which
are superior to any city in the west, are
great and valuable aids, but these alone will
not make US city Of a halfa million PEG
pie. There is need of more of the same
kind of energy, enterprise and work tina. has
been done during the past year, and let us
all see that the winter does not pass without
this work be done.
