BURGLARS TAKE
s34S.O9 FROM
GREEN GROCERY
po,ice Believe That Men Hide I'm
Store in Afternoon and Wait
Until Closing.

The Green grocery store, SO
fifteenth street, Moline, was enter
a by burglars last night. They Sc
eured $311.59 in cash and a check
for $3.50.
How the burglars broke into the
store is unknown. The theory is
that they we're hidden in the store
vhen it was closed. Exit was made
through rear door to the base
meut. which was found open this
morning by E. A Anselme, in
charge during Mr.. Green's alb
sence.
"There is no indication of the
men having broken in at amy
Mace Mr.. Anselme said. 1.-THE rear
door to the basement, through
which they left the store, is faster-
cd by a heavy cross-bar that can
not be lifted from the outside. /
feel certain that the men came in
during the afternoon, which they
could have done while all of the
clerks were busy upstairs, and hid
until everyone had left for the
night"
The burglars disturbed nothing
in the store except places where
cash was kept The outer door of
the safe was not locked, as Mr..
Green was the only person who
could unlock it. The inner COM
partment where money was kept
had been fastened, but the burglars
pried the lock open and obtained
S2l0.
They next turned their attention
to the cash register, where they
found S10I49. Eighty-fve dollars
of this sum belonged to Miss Ross
f. Voight, cashier of tire store. a
check for s37.40 was also missing
tits morning.
1t is believed that the burglary
was committed by two men al
though one man could have pulled
the job. 1t is thought that the rot
berry took place early in the even
ing, before the lights in the store
would have shown the men at
work.

Mr.. Cooper has a record without
a parallel in the United States in the
sale of Ford care Within seven years
he built a business from the sale of
twenty cars to one thousand cars and
established three branch sales agencies.
The branch at Amarillo, Texas is al
most as important as the one he
built here. His combined business
within one year aggregated two mil
lion dollars. The story of his success
is equal to any of the leaps in busi-
ness made by men who have their
records written in the American
Magazine. He is too youthful to re-
tire from business, he is fired with a
desire to build a greater success and
his genius will be devoted to the
sale of other cars. 1t is not his in
tention TO leave Ardmore. In speak
ing of the sale of the Ford Agency
Mr.. Cooper says the parting with EN-
ployes is the hardest feature TO bear
and as he recounted the men who had
stood by HIN in his business a tear
rolled down the side of his face. With
all his hard hitting in business he
has developed the side Of life that
appreciates loyalty and is appreciative
Of the men and women who have
struggled with him.
