CHICAGO Brewers association, in
advertisements that are being run in
the newspapers, presenting arguments
in favor of that city continuing in the
wet column, points to Rock Island as
one of the places that would profit in
the event that the local optionists car
ried their cause successfully at the
polls. Well, Rock Island is already
serving as whistle dampener for sew
eral good sized towns, and there is
always room for more. If some of
the Chicago money came this way it
might, in measure, balance again It
the flow of cash sent from here an
nually to the mail order houses.
There are people in Rock Island who
buy everything they wear and eat from
Chicago mail order houses and yet
they wonder why their home ciy
doesn't grow as rapidly as they feel
it should. 1t likely would advance
quicker if such people moved to an
other town and made room for folks
who would encourage their home
merchants.
