BUYS BAILEY BLOCK
Simon Burns, of Pittsburg, Makes
$4,000 Investment in
Rock Island.
IMPORTANT SECOND AVENUE DEAL
Grocery Business is to be
Moved to Eighteenth
Street.

An important deal in Rock island
business property was consummated
today through L. j. Burns real es-
tate agency. Simon Burns, of Pitts
burg, Pa. president of the Glass
Workers association of America, pur-
chasing the George f. Bailey property
at 1611-16I3 Second avenue for con-
sideration of SIC. 900.
Mr.. Burns states he has acquired
the property purely for Investment
purposes. 1t has a frontage of 80
feet and besides the large storeroom,
which is at present occupied by the
wholesale grocery house of George f.
Bailey s. Co., has a number of Offices
and Hats.
Mr.. Burns not many years ago was
a glass blower in Rock Island. That
vas in the days when this city was
one of the leading centers of the glass
manufacturing industry. He was
recognized as leader among those
who followed the trade. Whenever
thee was trouble among the men and
their employers MIR. Burns was called
In as arDlISE.
Elected to Highest once.
Finally he was called to the presi-
dency of the Glass Workers associa-
ton, which represents many thous-
and men. So successfully has he di-
rected the affairs of the big organiza-
ton that he has been continued from
year to year in the office. He has
come to be looked upon as one of the
coief labor leaders of the country,
having in addition to his duties with
tue glass workers been called into the
counsels OF other unions.
But while he has been climbing he
has not forgotten his old home. Every
year he comes back for visit. This
time he brought along some money
to invest in real estate, for he thinks
Rock Island is one of the finest spots
on earth, and offers more opportunity
for profitable investment than the
