TO LOCATE
MI. Youngblood of Du
buque Seeks Site.
Wishes to buy and Build Fine
TWo-Story Brick and Es-
ltablish Grocery House.

MI. ]. D. Youngblood of Dubu-
que, is in the city today looking
up a location for the establishment
of an up-to-date exclusive grocery
store. Mr.. Youngblood has the
capital at his command to put in
a hrst-class store. He wishes to
buy a suitable location and to build
two-story brick building fitting
the upper story for offices and
occupying the first floor with his
grocery store. He is evidently an
experienced business man and
would give Denison something to
be proud of in the way of fine
store.
He shows his faith in Denison
by saying that he does not wish to
rent but to build a store of his own.
Such a building as he proposes
would be a credit to either Broad
way on Main street. We believe
the addition of such a store would
add to Denison's reputation as a
trading place and would add
enough to the total business done
soSthsat it would not materially in
lure any Of the established grocery
houses. Denison has no exclusive
grocery house at present.
