Of the commercial interests. that
the quarters there have been ex-

these rooms proved inadequate.
Mr.. Ewing, In speaking Of the re-
moval of the plant from Rock Is
land. said: I'VE would have liked
to continue operation of our plant
In Rock Island, but because OF the
greater volume of business which
we received from Moline, when We
found 1t necessary to enlarge our
plant We found it advisable to estah-
lish ourselves in Moline. The
Chamber Of Commerce Of Rock H.
land earnestly sought to have us
stay. but from purely business rea-
sons we found it best to establish
ourselves in Moline.
-.In our new quarters We will
have approximately 10000 square
feet of floor space, occupying the
entire third floor of the Skinner
building.
Our offices will be on the corner
Of Sixteenth street and Third ave-

rear we are planning to install our
