ondary. Such a prospectus would not be filled with verbose descriptions, which a business man who valued his time would never read, but would be filled with statistics and cold facts about the city and the region, which would give a comprehensive idea of its growth and possibilities to the man who wanted to get at the facts in a hurry. No outsider is capable of getting up a prospectus that would do the city any good. The man on the ground is

the man who has made a real study of

conditions here, who has watched the growth of the city for years and is able

to anticipate its future, is the man

who ought to get up Hammond's next

prospectus.

The business men of Hammond will

find that they get very little benefit

from advertising in a prospectus of

this kind and that the same money

spent in the newspapers, which

reaches the people in this locality, will

get results that will be much more in

evidsnce than money that is thrown

awa;r on a prospectus.

Business men in the city who paid
