Don't suppose because prices at Loos-

ever saw them before, that the stock is
to be closed out and the business wound
up. 1t is true that things were never
sold so cheap in Rock Island-lamps,
glassware, china, spoons, table cutlery,
everything goes-but they are low simply
because it is intended that every one in
Rock Island should know that it is to
their interest to trade at home, in this
line. And as long as people continue the
same encouragement they have given since
the stock opened at 1909 Second avenue,
