be made in the daylight, the packets
living to all night This double and
rapid service will be fully appreciated

Here Now is a Chance.

Several large publishing firms at
St Louis, are going to combine
and establish n mammoth plant in
some place where cheap homes can
be obtained for their employees, and
large grounds for the plant itself.
Oswego, Mich, is said to be under
consideration. Here now is chance
for this city. Rock Island has,
or readily can provide, every requi-
site for the location of such plant.
1t has plenty of territory, and the
idea offers inducements for that which
the city should have and which there
is abundant demand for already
more houses to be placed on the mar
ket, either for rent or for sale.
