R OR SALE: THE HERT OF HAMMOND. If you are not convinced by this argument tocy you will be tomorrow. Do you know that there is kit one established east and west business street in Hai&nond State street. Do you know that there are bi&two orth and routh business streets in Hammond-Hoh-man street and Calumet avenue. This being true, you can't get away from the factv,hat the corners of State and Hohman and State and Calumet avenue are the best in the city. I own one of the corners of State street and Caluit avenue. It is for sale cheap. It will bring big retug on the investment now. It will be worth a fortune a few years.

HOW HAMMOND GROWS.

STEADY INCREASE OF JEN

BUILDINGS 01) NORTH

SIDE

PLANS FOB ANOTHER HEW BUILDING

Before the winter seta In the north

side will have added quite a number of new buildings to the general improvement of the city.

One of the biggest improvements from a general utility standpoint is the

South Shore line depot that is now

under construction. The north side has waited a long time for this, but the indications are that the structure, which is to cost $3,JOO, will be completed before the snow flies. Next to the South Shore the Schumacher building is about ready for the plasterers. J. A. Aubry, the druggist's, building adjoins that of Schumacher. Work on the second floor is here under way. The building will be two stories and has a frontage of twenty-five feet ana a depth of seventy-five. Towle Strret Residences. A thing that may prove to be quite a big thing is the possibility of twenty or thirty new houses to be built on Towle street. A Chicago man by the name of Smith owns forty lots here and Contractor Peter Moser is putting up three houses now. These houses

are two stories in height and measure 22 by 40 feet, and will contain six rooms. If the owner finds that he can dispose of these readily he will continue putting up houses of this kind. The work of remodeling the Knoerzer

buildings on Sheffield avenue will give

that neighborhood an improved

ance and add, incidentally, to the improvement of the north side. Work is under way for a brick cottage for John Moriarty on Hohman

a linear- 1 llv

Plans are very near consummation by which Dr. H. C Groman and Gustav Muenich will build a three-story building on the west side of South Hohman street, in the middle of the block, between Muenich court and Russell street. "The building Is to cover fifty feet of frontage, and will be one of the most attractive business blocks in the city.

plans have been drawn bv a Chi

cago architect and the building is to be of steel and brick construction. Dr. H. C. Groman owns twenty-five

feet of the frontage and Muenich owns

street, and a frame cottage for William ' the other twenty-five feet. "While the

Blackmun and Ullrich are putting up a residence on Cameron street, near Chicago avenue. There is considerable interest in a number of concrete block houses ;Vat are going up on Johnson street. The work Is well under way, and it is understood that the number of these buildings may be Increased.

It is understood that the main floor has already been rented to very good advantage and the second floor has also been rented in advance of the building of the new block. The third floor will be cut up into flats, . The whole proposition hinges on getting a loan, and if there is not a hitch in the proceedings this afternoon the actual work of construction will begin within a few weeks. , . , It is expected that the building will cost inthe neighborhood of $30,000. It will be a credit to the street and is expected to lead to the building of other business blocks between Russell street and the downtown district.

rage, one must combine the experience of the motorist with that of the architect. The architect can design a garage pltasing to the eye and warranted not to fall down; but, unless the architect is also a motorist, the owner is likely to wish sooner or later, that he had taken a hand in the job. Among t he important, but often neglected points of garage design are those of fireproof construction: n'ro-

ision for indoor washing, when ne-

?sary; the f acilitatine: of mechanical

For example, instead of taking the body off and setting it one side to give access to the transmission or to facilitated repainting, the body may simply be drawn back three feet or so, and its front end blocked up on the chassis frame, while the rear end is supported by a trestle. Nevertheless, work of this sort is best described as a "stunt." Possibly the reason one finds so many htn-roops passing under the name of garages is that their owners did not lealize how much room the complete car would occupy. When one considers the overhang of headlights, fenders, and folded Cape-cart top, it is clear that a car of ten-feet wheel-base is likely to occupy as much as fiteen feet over all length by approximately five and one-half feet breadth. To work effectively around the car, at least three feet must be allowed on each side, aocft hrdlut hrdlut hrdlutao hrdlutua

FUTURE

There is only today and tomorrow in which the consumer may purchase coal at the price of $7.50 a ton for hard

coal. Saturday the price will go up to

$7.75, and there will probably be a further advance announced later in the

fall.

A number of Hammond people have

already sent in their orders for their

winter's supply of fuel and the coal dealers expect to be kept busy with the

orders which always come In late. Soft

THE ARCHITECT AND

HIS COLOR SCHEME

Too often the architect is ruled, in

adopting a color scheme, by preference

of the owners imposed after the lot has

been purchased and a type of -house designed to go upon it. Arbitrarily set conditions, added to those imposed by

nature, rarely produce acceptable results. Provided no voice in the surroundings chosen for a building is allowed the architect, the natural conditions and surroundings themselves

should be permitted to definitely govern the selection of a final color scheme. If, on the other hand, the color scheme is considered of most Importance, the trained professional should be allowel something to sa yi ndetermlning upon 1 the surroundings and the lot.
