IT'S AN ILL WINDThe luckiest man in East St. Louis is A. M. Meintz. The tornado actually did him good instead of harm and that without any injury to his fellow-townsmen or at their expense in any way. Meintz is a very wealthy man and also a very shrewd one. He owns a two-story building at Third street and Missouri avenue. Recently he decided to add an extra story to it and was just getting ready to remove the roof for this pur pose when along came the cyclone and took it off for him. Meintz is one of the few men in East St. Louis who had tornado insurance. His losses are entirely covered in this way and he saved the expense of getting ready for his third-story addition. He is going right on with his plans and workmen are now busy putting on the third story.
