It is reasonable to suppose that building projects in the Maywood-Addition will receive favorable consideration because of the close proximity to the plant of the Standard Steel Car Co., where ordnance is being manufactured, because Maywood is ready for immediate development. The sewers are in, the sidewalks are laid. When you stop to think that the building of 250 houses in Hammond outside of the usual building operations will absorb practically half of the vacant property that is available within a mile and a half of the Standard, you may gather some idea of the tremendous demand there will be for vacant lots in desirable subdivisions in Hammond.

While prices have not been advanced in Maywood and will not be advanced, as the owners of this subdivision want to do their share towards helping solve the housing problem of the region, yet this property wall not go far. There are sites for only 300 houses in Maywood. If the purchase of a lot for building purposes was ever justifiable it is now. The builders who have their houses under construction will have the first call on government funds. Maywood is your great opportunity.
