bat NOT until now has he been ready 10

His preliminary movements have. as
usual. been kept quiet. Not until today
did anything reach the public, and then
II was through an accident. Some weeks
ago a large plot OF ground was purchased
In South Chicago. The sellers were the
Calumet Canal and Dock Company and
several private Individuals The real
buyer was not publicly known. The price

This is the situation which Mr.. Rocke-
Teller has tackled. He expects 10 make

than the trust can. He can then sell
them much cheaper. The new mills a

authority. that Mr.. Rockefeller may even

The site OF the new works IS good for

Hefore you buy any crockery this year

the new goods that F. H. Behnke
has just placed on his shelves. No.
thing like it has ever been seen in New
Ulm before. It's simply beautiful.
Everybody wants the best and for as
little money as possible. We have
chamber sets, for instance, that are
sure to please. We have them in all
styles from $3.50 to $15. Call around
and look at them.
zsz n Tow about lamps. You may want one
re y yourself or you may want to give one
;sss Ito a friend as a present. If either is
ssS the case, we can accommodate you and
know that our reputation in this line has
won us many friends. Our stock in
cludes banquet, hanging. stand, hand and
night lamps. Ask for our smokeless
night lamp which, once filled, will burn
for 100 hours.
Ruo one is ahead of us on glassware
either as to price or quality. Our
III fine water and wine sets, pitchers,
glasses and tumblers are pleasing to
everybody. Some of them are beauties

tremely moderate prices: Complete
~china and colored sets, fine bread and

Especially do we pride ourselves on
