BIG DEAL LIKELY
Transfer of Prominent Corner in
Business Section
Looked for.
MEANS AN 8.STORY BUILDING
Now All But Contaminated, and Would
Insure Increased Mercantile
Facilities.

Again a deal is believed near con-
summation for the purchase of one of
the principal corners of the business
section of Rock Island, and if the trans
fer is made there will be a modern
mercantile building erected, which will
probably be eight stories high-at least
six. Attempts in the past to bring
about such an improvement have fallen
through, but it is hoped that this will
not fail
What 1t Would Mean.
The deal, if brought to a conclusion,
would not only insure the raZing of one
of the oldest buildings in the city, but
the erection in its stead a structure
that would in itself be a credit to the
city, but which would house an i'm
mense mercantile institution which
would also reflect the progressive ten
dency of the times in Rock Island.
