ADOPTS CREDIT BOOK
Local Merchants Association to
Introduce the GaIesburg
System Here.
WORKINGS EXPLAINED BY AUTHOR.

n. w. Olson Meet With the Rock Island
Business People and Tells Them How
Successfully 1t Has Operated in His City
"A Comprehensive Talk on Commercial
Transactions-To Employ Solicitors.
The Retail Merchants association
at its meeting last night decided to
introduce in Rock Island a credit rat
ing book, adopting the system that
is in vogue in Galesburg.
The author of the system, N. w.
Olson, secretary of the Galesburg
Retail Merchants association, was
present at the meeting by invitation,
and gave a comprehensive explana-
ton of the workings of the credit rat
ing book, answering satisfactorily
the various questions put to him by
the business people. After the taking
of the vote adopting the system Pres
ident G.. H. Kingsbury was auth
orized to appoint committee to en-
ploy a competent man to conduct the
work of the new credit rating agency,
which will be under the direct super
vision of the association. AS such
committee L. Simon, F. I. Myers and
George A. Mcdonald were named.
1t is expected to have the system in
operation here within few months.
Mr.. Olson in the course of his re-
marks said:
ga home rating association service
is the very best. solely because it is
confined to your own city and county
alone, and because the credit inform
alton which it gives you, not only of
al alan
petitors, but of all your possible flu
ture customers, is based upon the
opinion and experience of all the var
ious merchant lines and professional
men, obtained by daily inquiries and
through constant touch with the
trades. Therefore, with such a COM
plete list, you have the means of keep
ing your sales at the maximum.
Maximum sales with minimum losses
give maximum profits. Only where
such credit service is obtainable can
losses be kept at the minimum. Con-
vince yourselves that such service
will prove invaluable to you, and fully
meet your requirements, by asking
and inquiring of your association
officers, who are among the represent
alive aud hustling business men of
your city and state. whose interests
and those of their competitors natur-
ally are alike.
Rules of Business.
'Any merchants association that
would become most prosperous, and
obtain the highest rank among those
of the state, must have its rules of
business and its business methods.
These rules and methods must be such
as are calculated to encourage free
intercourse between men, and make
them strong in the confidence of each
other. Confidence in business de-
ponds upon the ability and integrity
of those so engaged. Responsible
parties are those who have due re-
spect for business, law and require
ment.
1T would be impossible to carry on
the vast enterprise and business of the
world without credit. Vast beyond
appreciation is the volume of business
transacted each day by means of credit.

The Diamond Garment

For years the masses of the people

fashion has been so exacting that
none but an expert could do satisfac-
tory work. This has not been on ac-
count of lack of intelligence upon
the part of the people, but inventive
genius has not been successful in this
particular direction heretofore as it
should have been. There have been
many attempts made to get a correct
system whereby all kinds of clothing
could be cut for general wear, and
until the invention of the Diamond
Garment Cutter none had been sue
cessful.
There have been charts, models.

of these were either crude, or so

wives of tue country could not successfully

forgot all about tie principle applied In
anyone could cut all the clothing worn by the
family without a great deal OF trouble and the
combining of a number of different methods,
none OF which was entirely satisfactory.
The need of a correct plan system OF
work WAS so apparent that all could see IL, yet
none was able 10 remedy the defect until the
idea originated of simplifying tailors' rules

Ouestion AnaHered.

Yes. August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmothers never thought Of using
anything else for indigestion or bill
iousness. Doctors were scarce, and
they seldom heard of appendicitis,
nervous prostration or heart failure,
etc. They used August Flow
er to clean out the system and stop
fermentation of undigested food, reg
ulate the action of the liver, stimulate
the nervous and organic action of the
system, and that is all they took when
feeling dull and bad with headaches
and other aches. You only need a
few doses of Green's August Flower,
in liquid form, to make you satisfied
there is nothing serious the matter
with you. Sample bottles free at 7. H.

Major Portion of the Land Needed VIII be
Donated, Affording q Direct Thorough

1t was decided at a conference yes
terday afternoon between the street

ers of South Rock Island to. begin at
as early date as possible condemna-
ton proceedings in the county court
looking to the opening of Eighteenth

will be any difficulty of this character
encountered. The major portion of
the land needed for the avenue will
be donated.

Another Industry.

One of the important and numerous
new industries of the Arkansas valley
is very extensive fire brick plant al
most ready for business at Canon CITY
1t has whole mountain of fire clay
four or five miles south of the river,
which is stated to be of the finest
quality for assayers' goods as well as
for the many other varieties of wares
formed of that peculiar material. On
account of the large number of ore
reduction mills and smelters in the
Arkansas valley it is indispensable
that there be good supply of fire
brick as well as of other goods used
in that industry, and the clay works
at Pueblo and Canon will never be
called on in vain for supplies of This
description.-Pueblo Chieftain.

in the session of the sixth snnual con-

held in the Methodist church and were
well attended by residents of the
city who were not delegates to the
convention. The evening sessions
were well attended by many men. who
seemed surprised that women could
bring up 30 many interesting points
that they had never thought of. The
attendance was not as large as ex-
pected, but anything it lacked in
numbers made up in interest. The
delegates left the city feeling they
had been royalty treated.-Pueblo
