AUGUSTANA COLLEGE, ASSET
TO COMMUNITY, ASXS AID OF
PUBLIC IN COMING CAMPAIGN
t
Angustana college will next Wed
nesday laaaeh her week's campaign
tor $80100, the qoota equally divid
ed between Rock Island acid Moline.
The support of the public in thia
effort in behalf of an Institution
valuable to the community both
from an ideal, educational, aad pe
cuniary standpoint is asked in a
pamphlet Just from the press, out
lining the history, needs and advan
tages of the college.
The bulletin, compiled by J. U
Vernoa aad R. S. Hostord, cam
paign organisers in Rock Island
and Moline, will be pent to friends
and patrons of the college in the
twin-cities. It contains, besides
the printed matter, seven full page
views and a number of smaller
cuts of the college.
AutnsUaa An Asset.
In regard to community benefits
derived from the location of the
college. It says: "The influences
which go forth from a Christian in
stitution of learning for civic ad
vancement and improvement are al
ways great. This asset, the most
important one, cannot be computed
in dollars and cents. )
"The college, however, is also a
pecuniary -asset to the community
where it Is located.
"The annual income of Augustan
college consists of tuitions (over
$5,000). of interest on funds (al
most $25,000), of gifts from con
gregations throughout the country
(over $25,000). of income from the
dining hall, fees, etc, the whole
sum amounting to more than 1100,-
000. , , :
"The annual expenses of Angus-
Una are about $120,000, Out of
this budget are paid the teachers'
salaries, the janitors, the upkeep
and repairs of the building, coal,
water, electricity, insurance, - the
dining hall, in a word the general
running expeasee of the whole in
stitution. This money, every cent
of it, then flows in innumerable
rills into the ordinary business
channels of the community.
"Of the 71C students who attend
ed Augustaaa college last year.
more than half had their homes
in other places than Rock Island
and Moline; some of them came
from the seaboard. The last cata
log shows that there were atudents
from the following states: Ala
bama. California, Colorado, Con
necticut, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana,
Iowa, Kansas, Massachusetts, Mich
lean, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebras
ka, North Dakota, New York, Ohio,
Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Is
land, South Dakota, Tennessee,'
Texas, Washington, Wisconsin,
Wyoming. Of foreign countries, the
following are represented : Can
ada, India, Sweden.
"Furthermore, many of the stu
dents living in the cities have stay
ed at home because there was an
opportunity of pursuing the studies
of their' choice at the home college; j
otherwise they would have gee
elsewhere aad spent their money.
"These atadeata spend oa aa
average more than flM a year oat-
aide their immediate college tees.
At this low estimate, the total spent
by them la the community would
be about $70 000.
"The Aegustana book concern is
located here because of the pres
ence of the college. Its salary bud
get alone is over $ 50,000 annually
aad ail of thia amount la spent at
home..
"Adding these rams, we tnd that
about $240,000 are speat every year
in the home "cities by the complex
we call Augustaaa. If in addition
we count the great festivities aad
other features, this sum will be
materially Increased. Aagnstana is
indeed an asset to the home towns."

Regarding the Shortage
of Furniture
Everyone in or out of tke furniture business knows that there has been a
shortage of furniture.
You may alto hare heard that many stores found it extremely difficult to,
get even enough furniture for display purposes.
But let us say that this condition has passed and that we have today one
of the largest and most complete stocks to be found anywhere in this
vicinity.
-
And do not judge by what you see on our floors as being our complete
stock, because in our immense warehouse we have thousands of dollars
worth of merchandise waiting to be rJaced in cur store to be shown to the
public .
Our stocks are continually changing. Every day there is a new piece, a new
suite or a new chair coming on the floors so that it behooves you to keep in
touch with what we are offering if you have aot been able to find just what
yon wanted. ,
And because of the fact that we buy in such large quantities we are able
to give the people the very best for their money, taking a small margin of
profit, but enjoying a large business.
