BUILDINGS
We learn that some outside capital
lists are contemplating the erection in
Worthington of a block or two of
buildings which in siza will b'at the
ADVANCE block five to one, and cost
| rs many thousands as our building did
hundreds. II they can find suitable
ground on which to duild such bust
ness blocks we understand there is !
prospect OF the buildings being put up
| sooa. We would almost be willing to
help buy the ground in order to secure
one or two such improvements. The
new ADVANCE block will i,ot be at all
envious AMI will De content with the
distinction Of having been the p;o:eer
it, handsome blocks, the FIRST If Il Sc
ries.
SHALL We ENCOURAGE BUSINESse
A party from the East. who repre-
stnts considerable capital. WAS in town
few days ago looking up a location to
ope" Il first class dry goods store. 81
simultaneously with the ADVANCE Call
for some live aid pushing business
men to locate here aid reach out for
the trade of surrounding counties, the
gentleman put i'll un appearance and
proposes to do exactly what the AD-
VANCE claimed could he dehe. lie
will csntine himself to dry goods ex-
| clusively, will put il first class stock
OF goods and expect to draw trade from
this and surrounding counties. We
hope this party, or parties. can he
induced to locate here aud make the
experiment. There is no longer any
| doubt that Worthineton is to'be Il
railroad point of considerable impor-
tance, u distributing centre, nor is
there ally doubt that dry goods, cloth
ing, grocery and other houses can
distribute goods from this point over
large area, as readily as they can from
points like Sioux Falls, Rochester, L.
mars, Cedar Rapids, or other interior
points.
If our present merchants have not
the capital to engage in this, or if they
have not the confidence and push to
try it, this is no reason why it cannot
be done. We ought to do all that is
possible to induce capitalists to come
in and make Worthington the business
centre of number Of counties. In.
stead or blaming and lecturing the
ADVANCE for doing what it can do to
that end, our people ought to join with
US and encourage the ADVANCE to 90
ahead in the good work.
Appropos Of this matter, We noticed
tile other day statement in a Mime
apolis paper that the largest dry goods
house in the Northwest was to open at
| Minneapolis. One or two Of the older
and well established houses were inter-
viewed to see hew they felt about tho
new rival. They were strongly in IA
vor of it and took pride in it. They
said they had all they could do now
and the new house would help to boom
the city and aid in making it the bust
ness centre of the Northwest. This is
the kind of spirit that makes cities.
Instead Of sitting down and indulging
\ selfish and jealous spirit, business
men should do all they can to encour-
