DITHMER GIVES CITY’S BIG LIST OFADVANTAGES Ice Company Head Says Indianapolis ‘Never Has Been Asleep/ By Henry 1.. iMthmer President Polar Ice & Fuel C’o. Here of late you occasionally hear it said, “Indianapolis is waking up.” That is not true, because it is falsely predicated on the theory that Indianapolis has been asleep. The continual steady and healthy growth of Indianapolis is evidence enough that Indianapolis is now and always has been a very wide awake and progressive city. The growth and prosperity of a cjty is closely related to the growth and prosperity of its industries. Indianapolis has been particularly fortunate in the diversified character ■flf Us industries. It was because of this, that we did not feel the industrial depression as soon or In the same degree as did c.ltles whose prosperity was largely dependent on the manufacture of one product. Business About Normal So It was that during several periods In the past years while several neighboring cities found It necessary to establish free soup houses, Indianapolis was continuing its building program and business, averaged as a whole was practically normal. The Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce- with the limited funds subscribed by Its members not appropriated for other necessary activities has, with the very loyal and generous support of the Indianapulls press and many public spirited organizations, been able In a general way to give the many -’dvantages of Indianapolis as an industrial center valuable publicity. \ Competition between cities is no different than competition in business. Cities, that during the period- of depression have bene hard hit by the loss of many of their industries and the Partial closing of others have been endeavoring to recoup their losses by putting on an extensive campaign, covering in some in stance a period of the past five years, in which thfough systematic solicitation new industries have been induced to locate among them. This unusual and long continued activity by competing citjes has made it necessary for Indianapolis to exert Itself moi-e than usual along the same line. The Chamber of Commerce committee, which has taken the initiative in a movement to create a citywide Interest in the increase of our Industries, is to be congratulated. Some Use Climate Some cities working along similar linas have been built up with no inducement to offer other than climate. It mutt he admitted that weather conditions make a very doubtful as set. Indianapolis, on the other hand, has so many practical advantages to offer investors that it is difficult. In naming a few, to make a choice. Our low fuel cost must necessarily appeal to the manufacturers, as also our very low electric power rate. Probably no other city is so well equipped in the matter of railway, interurban anti bus line transportation. We are particularly favored with

ideal labor conditions, where strikes are almost unknown. Insurance rates in Indianapolis are the lowest established rates in the United States. Our many financial institutions are able and willing to make loans to any industries whose financial statement entitles them to consideration. Less than 15 per cent of our labor is foreign born and a very high percentage of our population own their own homes. (loud Geographically The strategic geographical location of Indianapolis as an industrial center and distributing or receiving point, gives our merchants and manufacturers a tremendous trade advantage. These and many other advantages have made it possible for Indianapolis to grow and prosper almost without effort. A careful investigation by the Chamber of Commerce into the extensive program our competing cities have laid out, makes it necessary for Indianapolis to take more active means to display and advertise her many advantages to new industries, or those seeking anew location.

CONSTIPATION means MISERY Rouge and powder will not cover up the eSects oi constipation. The bowels are the worst abused and most variously damaged of any organ of the Itody. When they are clogged, they cause lusterless eyes, dingy complexions, pimples and blackheads, bad breath, headache, bilious attacks, heart burn, acid stomac.i, belching, depression, nervous exhaustion, chronic weakness and other more serious ills. The bowels should act at least twice daily.

who tell strangers, as well as home folk, that Indianapolis is a sick city. It would be bad enough to admit ft. even if it were partially true. It is evefi worse to talk or even think it when a statement of facts proves it untrue. Indianapolis is in no worse condition today, i hysically, morally, industrially, financially or In any other way than the most favored city in the United States. I even refuse to concede that our climate average through a year is any less desirable than that of cities wht use climate as their sole stock 1 ade. Recently a very small storeroom in our downtown district was leased at an annual rental in excess of $20,000 a year. That single transaction is sufficient evidence of the rugged prosperity of Indianapolis. All of us who live in Indianapolis km- its many advantages. All t. is necessary to bring new investors into Indianapolis is to organize a sales force, such as Is a part of any large corporation, w'hose business it shall be to sell Indianapolis advantages to prospective industries. This, as I understand it, is included in the plans being con sidered by the Chamber of Commerce committee.

It does not act as a purge, forcing the bowels to artificial action, but gently and easily, without pain or discomfort. 10,000,000 bottles used annually prove its effectiveness.
