ADVERSITY ADVERTISING AFFLUENCE. Adversity often brings good luck
It did to E. S. Wells, a millionaire
who has just died at Trenton. Years ago when only a loaf of bread stood between Wells and starvation and he lost even that when a rat came and devoured It. Vowing vengeance on all rats Wells set to work and Invented "Rough on Rats." Every possible
dollar he could get hold of after his first sales went into advertising his product, so, within a short time he had an Income of $100,000 a year. Here were three elements that con
tributed to Well's success: adversity, determination and advertising. The former made him find himself, tne second gave him 'the heart to do It and the third made him a millionaire.

THE INDIANA SOCIETY. If Hammond wants to embrace the
opportunity to entertain the Indiana Society of Chicago during the evening of their coming summer outing it
may do so. This information was received in Hammond yeaterday.
The members of the entertainment
committee heard the Hammond project outlined and they like the idea. The modified plans call for a barbecue at Cedar Lake, an automobile
trip to Hammond, stopping for but
termilk and mint juleps at Will J
Lavis rarm, a Venetian nichr st
Hammond, supper at the country
club and the trip back to Chicago by
automobile.
Hammond would not want to un
dertake the project unless it could
make the day's outing as varied and wonderful as those which have made
the society famous m the past.
But Hammond certainly can equal
ir not surpass the other affairs if It only develops enough enterprise, enthusiasm and determination. There are enough men with Ideas and there
is enough money to back up these.
Ideas if the people of this community
will take hold of the project.
rne Indiana Society outings always attract, many famous and
wealthy people to the place where
these affairs occur. If favorable Im
pressions are created it is the best
possible advertisement for the com munity which acts as host.
Invitations have been extended to
the society to go a number of places.
Two of them were to member's farms
but the society has visited George
Ade's farm and a farm near Indi
anapolis and It is anxious for a change.
To promote the good reputation
of Hammond and raise it in the
estimation of the people of the entire
city of Chicago would be worth
thousands of dollars to this community.
If all of the Chicago papers, for
instance, printed pictures of the
Hammond country club and a view
of the Hohman street residential dis
trict hundreds of thousands of people in the middle west would say: "Well I hadn't any Idea that Hammond has such a fine country club
right in town and look at those
splendid residences."
Hammond is judged by Its ugly
business district set right in the
midst of a tangle of railroad tracks.
Nothing would promote favorable
publicity like an Indiana Society
outing. Why not prove for once that
Hammond has a little Gary enter
prise? ' '
It will cost two or three thousau'u
dollars and a lot of work for the committee but Hammond would be on the map in a new and favorable
light, that of promoting a delightful social affair. V
