ideas along these lines that led to the
formation of the Lightning Medicinc
company in 1895. Advertising has
been hobby with him and for ter
years he has given it his closest
study. TO this fact more than any
other is traceabfe the gratifying sue
cess that the Lightning Medicine
company has met with in the sale of
its products. Their advertising is
placed over wide sections of country.
in the daily and weekly newspapers.

plays, store demonstrations. and
other attractive features calculated
to fascinate the attention of the pub
lie In this connection it may be
truthfully said. the advertising put
out by this company is recognized
among newspaper men, and the ad
vertising public generally, as some of
the cIeanest and most attractive
placed anywhere in the United States.
Mr.. Gruber is an entertaining gentle
man, who has made scores of friends
since coming to Rock Island and is al
ready a recognized factor in the bust
ness community. He is one of those
gentlemen who wears well and whose
will increase as his ac-
quaintance broadens.
