"THE UNEARNED INCREMENT IS THE INCCREASE IN THE VALUE OF LAND DUE TO NO LABOR OR EXPENDITURE ON THE PART OF THE OWNER, BUT TO NATURAL CAUSES SUCH AS THE INCREASES OF POPULATION, THE GROWTH OF A TOWN IN THE VICINITY, OR THE LIKE." WEBSTER'S INTERNATIONAL DICTIONARY. THE UNEARNED INCREMENT IN THE CALUMET REGION IN LAKE COUNTY AS A RESULT OF THE INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE PAST FIFTY YEARS AMOUNTS TO $36,000,000. Did You Get Your Share This statement merely means that the approximate increase in the value of land in the Calumet Region in the past fifty years is $36,000,000. Due to the following causes: The Railroads. The Location of Industries. The Building of Cities. The invasion of Millions of dollars of Foreign Capital to the Region. Profits in Real Estate come to the man who anticipates the Future and who backs up his Judgement with his money. The Profit is the Increment. Land in Hammond is positively the safest investment in the world. There is no inflation of values. Hammond's diversity of industries do not make it subject to the hard times that come with depressions of the steel industry. Hammond did not know there was hard times in 1908.
