W. C. Maucker's Cash Prices!
It is now nearly one year since W. C. Maueker moved his Gro
cery Business into his fine commodious store on the corner of
Seventeenth street and Fourth avenue, and the year's business
has lieen so highly satisfactory that Mr. Maueker has decided to
start another store at 2224 Fourth avenue, in what was formerly
the II. L. Wheelan grocery. The new store is started for the
purpose of accommodating Mr. Maucker's rapidly growing
trade in the east end of the city, and at the same time by divid
ing large purchases of groceries he is able to make very low
prices, which no doubt will be appreciated by all patrons of the
grocery trade. Note the following list:

Accident, the Watoa Being; Overturned
and Considerably l"d ITp and Foor of
the Mea Thrown Off and Injured, One
Receiving a Dlalocated Shoulder.
The Rook Island fire department
had two blazes and an accident to
contend with this morning. While
the fires were of little consequence,
the mishap was rather serious, re
sulting in the injuring of four men
and the damaging of the Jfo. 2 com
pany's hose wagon. The first call
came from the home of William At
kinson, 3038 Tenth avenue, at 3 a. ni.,
where a window curtain bad acci
dentally caught from a match in tbe
hands of a member of the household,
who had gotten up at this early hour
to administer medicine to a sick child.
The Central and No. 3 companies re
sponded. The flames had made con
siderable headway in the room, but
were extinguished by the application
of several bucket sfull of water and the
throwing through a window of the
burning furniture.
At 7:30 the department was sum
moned to the residence of W. B. Fer
guson, 1 wenty-nrst street, nere
imely discovery probably prevented
a disastrous tire. A joist had caught
from the furnace in the basement.
The attention of the family was at
tracted by flames shooting up through
the register. The blaze was conquered
without the turning on or water by
theVlepartment. a few bucketsfull serv-
ng the purpose, lhe damage was
nominal.
No. ' Accident.
According to the rules of the de
partment, except in an emergency.
when a call comes from a point east of
the Central station, the No. 2 compa
ny shall move from its quarters on
Eighth street to the Central house.
and there wait for orders. This morn
ing, on receipt of the Ferguson call.
the team of the Central hose wagon
was unable for service.one of the horses
having lost a shoe in the earlier run,
and Chief Collier ordered the 2's to go
straight to the scene. J he horses at
tached to the N'o. 2 wagon were dash-
ng north on Sixteenth, with Henry
Dasso in the driver's seat. Reaching
the Central house, as they had been
accustomed to do. thev attempted to
turn into Fifth avenue. The wagon
struck thecurbingandwas overturned
and the occupants. Mr. Dasso. Capt
Charles X. Hastings, and Firemen
Joseph Exuer and Charles Schroeder,
were hurled to the pavement.
Dasso was the most severely hurt,
Dr. II. H. Chase, who was called to
attend him, finding that he had re
ceived a dislocation of the left should
er. His face was also badlv scratched
All four were more or less bruised,
and Schroeder sustained painful cuts
in his left hand.
The wagon was considerably used
up, one axle being lent and the box
and seat broken.

What Is Quality?
Quality is an element of goodness which all
desire and few attain.
Why the Few?
Because quality means the use of the best of
everything. For instance, in bicycles: It
takes good material, good men. good thonght,
good time, to produce quality. If you buy a
bicycle of quality like the Cleveland, it is
right and proper to pay for what you get.
So Quality Costs?
The best of anything is of more value than
of the ordinary or common thing of the same
class. Only a few attain perfection, and
these few are of higher value. The manu
facturer who uses the best of materials, the
best of machinery and the best men, will pro
duce the best of quality. The Cleveland . is
the best of quality.
The Cleveland Represents Quality.
