four story brick building at Second av-
enue and Seventeenth street known as
the Buford block by the Buford heirs
to Louis T.. Best. a Davenport capital
list. The transfer means the removal of
the present structure and the erection

a deliberate study of the situation and
will be of great and lasting benefit to
the community.
