Griffith, Which Dwiggins Boys Boomed, to Change Name.

The little town of Griffith, which Elmer and Jay Dwiggins boomed some twenty years ago, and which is known at Hammond as Dwigginsville, is to have its name changed to Gary Junction and is to become the center of some real activity by Chicago real estate men, who realize the magic power of Gary and think the name will afford a fine selling opportunity. Griffith has a population of about 200 people. It is a railroad junction of about a half dozen railroads.
