Boost for Rock Island.

Fifty of the representative citizens
of Rock Island, business men, CONNER
cial men, professional men, manufacl
urers and others, took hold of the pr
ject to boom Rock Island.at a meeting
at the Rock Island Club last night IN
a manner that is bound to bear album
dant fruit. Following up the meeting
at the same place last summer which
gave impetus TO the formation of the
industrial commission which through
the efforts of its members and the par
ticularly through the untiring labots
of it's industrial secretary Mayer Levi
has already landed two new factories
which are in prosperous operation in
Rock Island, the gathering Of last eve
ming determined to back up the work
of the industrial commission to the
fullest extent to make Rock Island :;
great industrial center. In word the
substantial men of the city decided TO
go out into the world of competition
for industries and bid for more factor
les, not only small ones but big ones.
1t was determined to raise fund CT
100000 for this purpose. Adopting L
plan which when CrystaliZed by the in
dustrial commission. will afford every
citizen of Rock Island regardless of his
resources of income opportunity
to share in the great under
taking and become just as much
factor as the man who gives
thousands, those Unidentified with the
movement felt confident that they
could rely upon the cooperation of the
people who have responded so mag
Inificently in the past. They rGmem-
Der the Columbian park proposition IL
which Rock Island joined with Moline
a dozen of years ago on the condition
that each city was to raise $4,000, am
| that Rock Island quickly came up with
| its half and then went $4,000 more
while Moline fell short of a quarter d
! the amount and hence caused the
| failure of the undertaking They re
member how quickly the people ,
Rock Island raised what was necessary
to build a new theater on the subscrip
| ton plan. They recall how Rock Is

| WOodman head office, and they remem
| Der numerous other instances i'll which
| the patriotic spirit of Rock Island has
| found response in the hearts of the
people when appealed to do for the up.

There will be no falling down on tn
| 100000 proposition. The two great
factories whose coming to Ro2s
Island with employment for 1000 pep
pie is contingent upon the raising of :

we'll be notified now to prepare e
make the move Rock Island will
make good. 1t always has and always
will What Rock Island has done
Rock Island will do again. What any
other city can do. so can Rock Island.
This is a city built upon the pria
ciple of substantial progress. 1t is =
city of honest value. II owes its stand
ing to not any particular portion of the
people, but to what all the people have
done.
And all the people are to he giver
an opportunity to boost for Rock l.
land.
