Thirty miles from- Gary is where this land is located. We have it from old settlers, who once explored eom. of the territory thereabouts, that a good surveyor equipped with a canoe and a mighty long sounding pole might be able to locate these lots. There are evidences that some of the lots have been sold by the sharks at prices ranging $500 and upwards and recently a case came too light where by a poor widow, was outrageously
swindled by one of these deals.
The real estate men of Gary would
do well to locate these swindlers and expose them. Every lot they sell is
a knock against the city. Let one of these Kankakee lots be sold in a community of "prospects" and when
the truth is known there'll be little
chances of selling real Gary property.
