tary of Chas. H. Deere, the millionaire
pillow man, of Moline, Ill. The private
secretary Of a man worth from $4,000
900 to S2O,OOO,OoO is proposition to be
justly proud of. Mr.. Dale has made re.
markable progress since leaving De-
catur county. After two years ex-
perience with r. G. Dunn in Des
Moines, he was transferred to their
main Office at Davenport, Iowa, and had
just recently been promoted manager

nent banker, of Moline, ILL.,, who be.
came interested in him, having had oc.
casion to learn of his business qualifi-
cations during his connection with r
G. Dunn, and that firm has semitic Chi
cage for substitute, thus proving such
material is not to be found outside Of
Chicago and Decatur county.
