Manifold Advantages to Come.

There are q great many advantages
to come to Rock Island as the result
of this little bridge. 1t will furnish

and men who already live in the upper

walk considerable distance in q
roundabout way to the work. to SAY
nothing OF being obliged to expend an
amount monthly for conveyance fare
to the island. while it will be an in
duosment to the building up of the

more direct and the shorter the means
