A Renresen,a,ive House.

The steady, healthful growth OF a towr
is marked by corresponding enlargement
Of its trade and improvement in its busi.
ness hosses. The mushroom growth o.
the make or break" class Of houses are
not to be compared in value to a com.
muuity, 10 the steady, conservative, yet
/ prosperous firms which mark this, as every
| thriving town.
] To the latter class most undoubtedly be-
/ longs the merchant tailoring establishment
styled the Wm. Aland. II is now IL years
| since Mr.. Aland opened a tailoring estab-
! lishment on the ground the present bust
ness is now carried on, and, until his death
J three years ago, his wise and conservative
management and faithful attendance to
l business made his house 2 leader in its
| line. a short time before Mr.. Aland' 5
DEATH the growth OF his business necesSi-
tated an enlargement and improvement in
| its quarters, and the present airy and COM
modious building was erected on the site
of the old store-room. Upon the
deeease of Mr. Wm. Aland, his son
Joseph Aland succeeded TO the business,
and taking advantage of the rapidly in
creasing trade of our town, amply met all
its requirements and more than maintain
ed the supremacy Ol the mouse.
For a time past, the building apparent
" of an ample size when erected but three
years ago, has proven inadequate to the
requirements of the business, and some
weeks ago Mr.. Aland put the carpenters
to work, and soon had an annex arranged,
to which the cutting department has been
removed. Previously the cutting was done
in the rear of the stock room, but every
inch of the space is now needed for the
stock. Paper hangers and painters follow
ed, and the result is one of the very finest
rooms in the town. A complete outfit of
carved and turned cherry tables were or
dered and made especially for Mr.. Alsnd,
and these loaded down with rich goods of
the latest STYLES make fine showing As
ali illustration of the growth of the estab
lishment, an inquiry developed the follow
ing facts: Upon its establishment Mr..
VIM. Aland carried a stock amounting to
81, 900. The stock to-day could not be
duplicated for less than $4,000. Sixteen
years ago, Mr.. Aland employed tailors,
now there are II employed during the
busy season in the establishment.
Recently Mr. Aland took long stride
forward in securing at corresponding ex-
pense the services of city cutter of recog-
nized skill and experience, Mr.. William
Cooper With all these advantages, com
bined with the push and business capacity
of Mr.. Joseph Aland, the establishment
will continue to be a leader and one of the
representative houses of this place.

has entered proceedings against several
county storekeepers for selling oleo., and
among them one in Butler. The Pittsburg
Times says that there are 1000 dealers in

that the stuff itself is better than bad
butter; that dairymen buy it, churn it over
and sell it for butter; and that the law is

The Library Rooms

At last nights special meeting of the
Rock Island public library board TO con-
slider the matter Of new rooms, the special
committee composed of Messrs. South
well, Peasants and Johnston, submitted
formal proposals from Mitchell & Lynde
and the Young Mems Christian associs-
ton, and afterwards an informal pro-
possl was made by Messrs. Krell & Math
and verbal proposition by John Beings
ton was submitted by Rev. r. F. Sweet.
The various offers were discussed and an
idea obtained as to the requirements of
floor space, light and pleassntness of &C.
cess. The Mitchell s. Lynde building,
with alterations, was considered to best
meet the requirements of the library, and
accordingly the committee on new quar-
tiers was given authority to effect lease
provided desired concession is made.
The plan is to take the entire north end
of the second floor Of the building from
east 70 west. throwing into one large
apartment all the rooms.

Yes, we have been in Rock Island
almost yegr-when say we have been
here year, l mean that nearly that time
has elapsed since we decided to locate
here-and can assure you we are pleased
beyond measure with the city and it's
people. Our success has exceeded our
most sanguine anticipations, and we had
confidence in Rock Island from the first,
too"
The speaker was E. l. Leveen, of the
London Clothing company. He had
been converting with an ARGUS reporter
on the general prosperity of Rock, Island
and the various causes to which such a
condition might readily be attributed.
Has it paid you to do such extensive
advertising?" the reporter continued:
Yes indeed" was Mr.. Leveen's reply.
VI think the man that does not get his
name before the public and keep it there.
gets left in the commercial race. You
can pick out all along the way the non
advertisers. Advertising certainly pays
providing you do just as YOU advertise.
I'VE haveIfeit pretty well satisfied with
all of our advertisements, but none of
them could hold candle 20 our peoples
benefit sale, beginning tomorrow, (Sa:-
urday,) lasting only one week"
Our idea has always been to get our
selves talked about, and we have struck
the nail squarely ON the head at last. AS
our spring season has been a success far
beyond our expectations, we have made
up our minds to give business reception
and to present TO each customer buying a
suit during the benefit sale,' substan-
tial souvenir. Then we began to study
what to give so that all could appreciate
the gift. 1t finally struck US that it would
be sensation to make every customer
buying suit, (no matter what price q

This pail consists of four separate
apartments which close firmly; nothing
can be spilled when the pail is upset.
When the pail is empty it can be nested

it being something entirely new. A din
ner carried in one of these pals will keep
fresh and COOL"
And where does your profit come in
by giving sway such expensive presents
with 50 or 50 mans suit" was asked by
the reporter.
We'll, in the first place the most
of our trade buy finer grade of goods;
| then we figure that it will pay US
in the end if we give few days profits
away during the year, particularly since
this is our first year here, and then oul

WHY NOT SEVEN?
The Voting Places for the school
ElectiOH-rhe Mayor Thinks Three
EUOuUh

The call will be issued for the school
election about June Is. and it will spec
ify for three voting places" answered
Mayor McConochie to a question from
an ARGUS reporter this morning.
DO you consider three polling places
sufficient" asked the scribe.
Certainly. was the mayors reply.
Unless there is an unusually large vote,
which ! don't contemplate now, 1 think
we can consolidate the vote at three
places. one in the Fourth ward at Dau-
ber's shop, and one each in the First and
Seventh wards"
The ARGUS fails to comprehend why
the mayor should object to designating a
voting place in each ward as IN all other
elections, and it cannot see what there is
to be gained by having three over one.
The idea of aboiishing the plan of con-
centrating the votes at one place. was not
50 much in the interest CT convenience to
the Yoters-who no doubt would be viii,
ling to discommode themselves somewhat
if in the interests of ecoaomy-as in the
hope of securing the legitimate and legal
vote only. This cannot be accomplished
through the medium of three vot
ing places any more than one, uu-
less more than the usual number
of judges were on duty at each
-
we'll remain at their respective voting
places. What the people want Is fair
and honest vote and this can only be had
by registration as in other elections. and
through the customary methods of vot-
ing place in each ward.
