BUSINESS PEOPLE LEAVE
STORES OPEN AT NIGHT

The merchant who should go home
for the night leaving the front door
of his place of business unlocked,
would be looked upon as decidedly
careless, if not erratic, yet that is
what someone does nearly every even
ing in the business part of Rock ISL
and. 1t is the duty of the night
policeman to try the doors of the
business houses in the central portion
of the city after they have been
closed for the night, to see if they
have been properly locked, and nearly
every night the officers find some
place they can enter without the use
of a key. Then it usually becomes
necessary to summon the owner and
inform him of the carelessness of
himself or his employees. Not infre-
quently he has to be called out of
bed to lock up. Not only the small
shops, but the largest stores, and
those with the most valuable stocks.
are occasionally found unlocked.

store keeper was about to go into
bankruptcy and the creditors were anx-
ious to get their money. First the store
keeper thought 1t would be good idea
for the creditors to come In and take
away merchandise to satisfy their
claims, but this method was objected
to. and it was decided TO auction every
thing of, the proceeds to be divided pro
