is STRONG COMBINATION
New Proprietor VIII Take an Active
Part in Financial Management
of Growing Establishment.

Announcement was made today of
the requirement by L. P. Best Of Dav-
export of a one-third interest in the
Young e McCombs Cooperative Store
company. Mr.. Best is the owner of
the six-story block occupied by the
Young & McCombs business.
By the action of Mr.. Best this gives
to Rock Island one of the strongest
mercantile establishments in the tri-
cities. Mr.. Best is a business man Of
tact and excellent judgment. He is as
ISOLATED with a number of business
enterprises in the city of Davenport,
such as the Bettendorf works, Daven-
port Machine company, Water Works
company, Robert Kraus Overall fac
tory, etc. He is also large investor
in real estate both in Davenport and
Rock Island.
Active Financial Interest.
Mr.. Best will take active interest in
the financial affairs of/the company.
The firm of Young & McCombs was es-
tablished in 1893 in room 20x60. and,
like the little acorn, it has grown in
II years to a mighty oak. Today the
firm occupies $4,000 square feet of floor

space and have one of the-most hand
somely appointed and modern equip
ped stores in the United States for its
size
Added Strength to a Strong Concern.
{ The identification of Mr.. Best with
the business comes at a most oppor-
tune time, inasmuch as the concern
is winding up its initial year in its
new and enlarged environment, and
better understands< now than before
the essentials guaranteeing the future
of the enterprise. Primarily both Mr..
Young and Mr.. McCombs are mer-
chants. There is no better demonstra-
ton of this fact than the rapid strides
they have made in the community with
their business, having grown from a
modest beginning III a remarkably
brief period of time to one of the
largest department stores in the mid
die west They have proved not only
good merchants, but men of pluck, per-
severance and determination.
Leaving Old for New.
It was no small undertaking when
they left their comparatively small
quarters to occupy the magnificent
new block built for them by the man
who now has become their associate
in the management Of the big store.
In taking an accounting after sue
cessful year in their new quarters,
Messrs, Young and McCombs found
that the rapid growth of the business
necessitated additional investment and
financial counsel Approaching the
t. - R,-N, - h.
prise, for no one was IN better posi-
ton than he to pass Judgment, Mr..
Best was rendered an interest, on con-
dition that he would become an active
associate and take the responsibility
of directing the financial end of the
business from the shoulders Of the two
members, the latter, in this move, be-
ing prompted by a desire to devote
their whole attention to the direction
of the merchandising end of the bust
ness. Mr.. Best accepted the condition,
and henceforth the concern will have
not only the benefit OF his recognized
master mind in hnanciering, but the
prestige of his extensive means and
the influence of his personality.

Officer Herman Sehnert made a cap

police consider a very important one,

by Carney McNay. The proprietor
stepped out of his place of business
about 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
and when he returned a few minutes

proprietor and was able to furnish a
description of him. This was given to
Officer Sehnert, who happened to be
passing, and he set out to find the man.

been given to him by a friend. His
story was not believed, however, and
ne was placed under $1,000 bonds. He
was unable to furnish this and he went

the principle OF prohibition carried by
local option, when enforced.

of the law is to be one of the chief OBJ
jects OF the proposed civic body, al

evening with his veto attached.
This action on the part of the mayor
came as great surprise to the mem
bers of the council and all others who
have followed the framing of the ord
nance. The mayor was active in
framing the ordinance and has been
an enthusiastic worker for the pas
sage Of the same. At one time he re-
marked: This is the best ordinance
ever presented before the council In
his veto message to the council on the
matter, he said:

At a meeting of the aldermen In
committee Of the whole, held proceed
ing the council meeting, the Rock ISL
and Plow company renewed its appli-
cation for ordinance closing streets in
the vicinity of its factory to permit
contemplated building expansion. The
action Of the mayor in vetoing the
street car ordinance may possibly de-
lay action in regard to the pillow COM |
pany grant as the passage of the or
dinance is contingent upon the street |
car ordinance. 1t will be necessary
for the Tri-City Railway company to |
make the turn at Seventh street be- |
fore the improvement by the pillow COM |
pany can be made. However, the |
situation may be adjusted in some |
way so as not to interfere with the |
