GENTRY BROTHERS
BUY FROM LOCAL
MARKET
Great Travelling Hotel Works
Lick Racing Automobiles
Engine

With travelling cities, such as the
Gentry brothers all new feature
shows are, there is an army Of en-
ployes Of whom the public sees moth
ing. These employees are entrusted
with the hotel work that is incumbent
upon an institution like the big Cen
try shows.
Cooks. walters, and hotel car por-
tiers are conspicuous about the show
solely because Of their absence from
view. While the multitudes that at
tend the worlds most classy animal
exhibition are marveling at its Won
ders, this corps Of invisible but never
theless valuable assistants, is busy
making up the beds in the Pullman
train used by Gentry brothers, or they
are busy preparing the meals for
scores of other employees who come
in closer touch with the public.
About the only thing common to the
Broadway hotel that cannot be found
with Gentry brothers all new feature
shows is the telephone. This adjunct,
however, is unnecessary. Every en-
ploye in the big institution knows
his place and his duties. Hence con-
versations during the day are not
needed.
With the arrival of Gentry brothers
all new feature shows in this city next
Wednesday the hundreds who toll in
the cause Of amusement will awake
to find waiting them a hearty break
fast of the best the market affords.
Then the army will journey on its
way to the show grounds. A dis
tinctive feature Of Gentry brothers

CAN RUN BIC CARS
No Serious Obstacles in Way of
Use of Tri-City Tracks
by R. I. s.
FLANGE NOT TOO WIDE
Transformers Dispose Of Objection
Arising from Direct and Alter
mating Currents.

II will be remembered that letter
from the town of Mathersville. print
ed recently in The Argus. cited a num-
Der of reasons why the Rock Island
Southern desires an independent line
into the heart of the city over which
I to operate its interIrban cars. 1t was
commended that the company cannot
use the tracks of the Tri-City Railway
company because the flanges on the
interurban cars are too wide, requiring
the use Of a ''T'' rail, and furthermore.
that one line uses an alternating and
the other direct current, 1t being I'M
possible to operate the same motors
on both roads
The Argus has done some investi-
eating and it finds that the heavy
girder rails used by the Tri-City Rail
way company are the same as are
used in other cities and are operated
upon by the same type of interurban
cars the Rock Island Southern has.
While IT. rail would no doubt be
preferable. yet the big cars are run
over the girdeT rails without damage
TO either the cars or the track.
OTHERS USE TRANSFORMERS.
In other cities in Iowa and Illinois,
il has also been learned inteTuTban
companies avoid trouble from the cleo
trio current by fitting their cars with
transformers so that the switching Of
a lever by a motorman will throw them
in or out of use, making it possible to
operate the car with either direct or
alternating current.
There is no disposition to compel the
Southern to use the tracks of the Tri
City Railway company, and, i'm fact,
il is doubtful if the latter is anxious TO
handle the inteTurban cars. So far as
The Argus is concerned, il would be
glad 10 see the interurban company
get a line OF it's own into the heart of
the city. either via First avenue or
over some other route. The main thing
is to bring the big cars directly into
the business district. That's what the
people want and no petty obstacles
should be allowed TO stand in the way.
