When a certain divine was younger
man and chaplain at the University
OF Pennsylvania, like other ministers
who filed that position he was much
troubled over the apparent lack of at
tention from the students during the
morning exercises In the chapel.
The exercises hardly ever continued
for more than fifteen minutes. Some
of the students were in the habit of
taking their books into the chapel and
studying there during the services to
make up for their tardiness of the
night before in not preparing their les
sons.
The young chaplain was desirous OF
breaking up the habit, so one morning
preceding his customary five minutes
address he spoke as follows:
Young gentlemen, last night
dreamed | was here in the chapel ad
dressing you. And as 1 spoke ] saw
every eye fixed upon me. every mar
attentive, while in all the chapel there
was not book opened, and then
knew it was dream"

Aaron Anderson is one of the best

Rock Island. He is native of
Sweden. having been born there in
the year 1853. When - years of age
he arrived I'm this country and came
to Rock Island. where he has since
made his home. Before coming to
this country Mr.. Anderson learned
the trade of carpenter and when he
located in Rock Island followed that
occupation for several years. AS a
general workman Mr.. Anderson
earned Il reputation as first class
mechanic. Later on he began con-
tracing and building i'm modest

been such that he is looked upon as
one of the most prominent in this
line of work in this vicinity. While
Mr.. Anderson has built many fine
residences in Rock Island and vicin-
ity. his principal work of late has
been in the building and reconstruc-
tion of business houses. Many of

THE LONDON---AB BIG
STORE

The clothing and gents furnishing
establishments of Rock Island serve
customers from a wide range of ter
ritory, and they are justly famed as
emporiums in which money values are
returned in full To every customer.
Such is their reputation collectively
and individually. The clothing stores
of the city long ago advanced beyond
the stage of evolution in which the
owner depends upon word of mouth
to spread the fame of his goods and
fixes his prices To suit the customer.
For years they have done business ON
business principles, vieing with each
other in employing legitimate means
of advertising and treating all Gus
toners alike in the matter of prices.
The establishment that has probably
done more than any other To bring
about this highly desirable state of
affairs is the London Clothing com
pany. which opened for business in
the city in the year 1889 at the pres
ent location, 17I5-1717 Second avenue,
its quarters having been built espec-
tally for it. Its appearance marked "a
new era in the clothing and gents
and in the various changes and i'm
provements that have since been made
IN the methods of reaching and sup
plying the every need and whim of
the public it has kept at the very
front. The proprietors, Messrs. j. Il.
Sax and NJ. &. Rice, are men of wide
business experience. strict integrity
and unlimited enterprise.
The first named quality has enabled
them on all occasions to buy to the
very best advantage and to place be-
fore their customers that which is
desired at seasonable times. The
second has been conducive to the
forming of a system of trading which
treats all alike ana gives To every
customer just what he pays for and
that in the very best possible condi-
tion to satisfy his needs. The last
named quality has led them to work
night and day to keep their establish
ment and the goods they handle con
stantly before the public in ways that
cannot he overlooked. They have
been liberal and iudicious in their
use of printers ink and the sign
writer's art has reached the acme
of perfection in their cause till the

as familiar as book to every dwell
or within radius of - miles or more
of the city. Another form of adver-
tising that has been employed with
AN effect not less marked has been
that of the satisfied customer who
returns to trade and brings his neigh
Dor. The London carries Il fun line
of everything i'm the shape of cloth
ing or furnishings that men and boys
need, both modish To Il kings taste
and useful to the last degree. Prompt
and courteous attention and fair
