FOR SALE: THE HEART OF HAMMOND. If you are not convinced by this argument today you will be tomorrow. Do you know that there is but one established east and. west business street in Hammond State street. Do you know that there are but two orth and south business streets in Hammond Hohman street and Calumet avenue. This being true, you can't get away from the fact that 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 Calumet avenue. It is for sale cheap. It will bring big returns on the investment now. It will be worth a fortune in a few years. 128 Feet on Ga um3t Avenue, 113 Feet on Slate Street.

HOW HAMMOND: GROW!

SUPERIOR COURT HOUSE WRING IIS COMPLETION

In less than a month the remodeled Lake superior court building? in Hammond will be thrown open to the public for inspection. The changes that have been wrought since the original structure was first , dismantled are many, so numerous In fact that one who compares the old and new Interiors would find little similarity. 1 The work of laying the carpets will begin next week, and by Nov. 7. It is hoped the moving Into the building can begin. Judge Reiter will open the November term in the north courtroom, known as No. 1. Opposite this courtroom on the seuth side of the building is court

room No. 2, facetiously called the demo, cratic courtroom because it is expected that Governor Marshall in due time

will appoint another superior court

Judge. Very logically this jurist will

be a democrat.

They promptly put in these Improvements and then people discovered that there is not a better location in the city for a residential district. Judicious advertising made known these ; facts and forthwith they began to buy.

A tiumber of fine residences are being built for those who can make substantial payments on them, and the whole neighborhood is booming. The few residents who ' have lived In the locality for years without seeing any progress made are astounded at what has been done. They realize that the value of their property has Increased

In order to take care of the greatly

Increased business that Summers'

pharmacy has been doing, the proprietor, Vern Sommers, has induced the Hohman estate to build a second story addition, 25x25, on thj rear of his store.

The new addition will be used for a

stock room and labaratory and will I

imake It possible to extend the store room back for a considerable distance.

New show cases are to be put in both

along the wall and in the center of j

the room and the result will be that the store will have a splendid sales

room.

Summers expects to put in a very

much enlarged soda mountain, and this

winter will make a specialty of hot

drinks. He even proposes to put In

sandwiches and cffee so that the busi-

ntss man can get his noon day lunch

there.

The , proposed improvement will add

greatly to the appearance of the store

and will relieve the congestion that is

now caused by the limited floor space.

The contract for the new addition

was let to Georys Pearson, who will commence work on the job at once.

Summers is convinced that the. business outlook for the coming year is

good enough to warrant the extra ex

penditure of money.

HIGHLAND PARK LOTS SELLING READILY

Gostlin, Meyn & Co. are having graet

success with their Highland Park subdivision, in the southern portion of the city. This subdivision has only been on the market a few weeks and already there have been in the neighborhood of twenty-five lots sold. The success of Gostlin, Meyn & Co. In selling the lots in this subdivision is remarkable, in view of the fact that other dealers have been unable to dispose of lots in that locality. "While

this part of the city was subdivided early in the history of Hammond whole subdivisions have stood idle for years for the want of purchasers. But Gostlin, Meyn & Co. saw that the property east of the Monon tracks was valuable. They saV that it was close enough to the various factories about the city to make it a desirable

place of residence, and that It was only two blocks from the street car line which serves the entire region. Where They Were Wise. They were wise enough to see that no one would buy lots unless the lm-

RECKING GO.

Messrs. Kolb & Brueckner, of the Hammond Wrecking company, Hammond, say they have been very busy

during the past seasons and that they

find there Is a great demand for sec

ond hand material, such as lumber, brick and windows. The report there are hundreds of people who are very

anxious to build and who are going to build small to medium large houses in the spring. In-view of the demand for houses the Hammond Wrecking

company will soon enter the contract

ing field on a large scale, in addition

to the wrecking business.

A reproduction of a colonial home built In Armour. S. D. It has also been

built In several other states. Its popularity being due to the fact that It is one of the most practical of medium priced residences. It Is of that type of residence architecture which has no superfluous elaboration, but whose beauty is

found in its simple liDes and symmetry. The plans of the two stories will

speak for themselves. The tirst can be finished In oak. with birch or maple

floors, and the second story in white enamel, with birch doors stained to rep-

resent'mahogany and floors of birch. Cost to build, exclusive of heating and plumbing. $4,500. Width thirty-three feet, depth twenty-seven and a half feet, over the main part. By special arrangement with me the editor of this paper will furnish a complete set of plans and specifications for design No. S26 for $30. GLENN L. SAXTON.
