W'hT Hammoiul Mrvhaats Are Pro-

A city is known by the character of

its mercantile establishments. : When

there Is a lack of competition, when

the people of a community are indifferent as to what they buy and when a city la behind the times, the fact is re

flected in the shops and stores about the city. -.

The metropolitan character of Ham

mond's large stores has been remarked

by visitors from out of, the city. Its

small stores are not as up-to-date as

those in Gary and other neighboring

cities.

The reason why Hammond's big

stores have made progress is apparent. Hammond is close to Chicasro.

Its merchants are compelled to carry a large and varied stock of goods in

order to meet the competition of the

Chicago merchants. "

But the basic reason is Jhat Ham

mond's proximity to Chicago has given this city a touch of metrppolitanism that is reflected in the demands of its citizens. Hammond and Chicago make

their demands for new things simul

taneously.

The result is that the Hammond

merchant has learned that .he can't

foist last year's styles on his customers without losing their confidence.

They demand this year's innovations.

So this urgent demand for the latest.

This demand, backed up by the alter

native of buying in Chicago, has made the Hammond merchant alert. Every year his stores become more attrac

tive: His stock is more complete. This

accounts for the fact that in the whole

state of Indiana no more progressive merchants can be found than those who are now doing business in Ham

mond.

The home of good Lumber

Special Attention Given To Small Orders f

Tel. 265 Cor. Columbia Ave and Summer St. HAMMOND, IND.

Th information has been received in Hammond that Joseuh O. Morris is

about to let the contract for the grading of ten acres of land in the vicinity

of the new east side park, east of Co-

lumDia avenue, and that k he yill at once commence the construction of a

number of fine homes with the idea ofl

selling them and encouraging building

activities in that section of the city.

This will be good news to the people

or tne east side who are anxious to see that section of the city built up

and improved. Morris will take advan

tage of the fact that the park is to be

located next to his holdings and ex

pects to cell out all of his property.

Morns was the man who laid out

what is known as the Standard Steel Car district. It is understood that h

will not sell the property in his new

sub-division to the foreigners, but will

dispose of it to the class of people who

will build good homes.

They lagtny out of this sub-division

will extend the built-up portion of the city, east of Columbia avenue, for the

first time in the history of Hammond.

The erection of houses in this locali

ty will have a tendency to improve the

iiiiciveumg property ana will go a

long way towards improving the city.

Incidentally it Will provide the city

with new houses that are so badly

needed. Morris has the idea that a fine

residential district can be built nn in

the vicinity of the new park, and it

is said that only under the consideration that the land be used for a park was Morris willing to sell twenty acres

to the city.
