A great locomotive building works for East Chicago; long a potentiality Is row about to become an actuality. Local observers have made logical deductions 83 to the reasons for the final decision of the Baldwin Locomotive "Works to carry out thir long deferred plans for an East Chicago plant. These reasons are as follows: 1. The eastern states are congested with war manufactures until the United States government has determined on the policy of rlacing many future contracts In the west. Coal supply and labor conditions require this. Hence It has become the logical thing for the Baldwin Locomotive works to escape this industrial congestion by building Its western plant. Not Dependent on War. 2. The railway eauipment market

Is r.ot dependent on the war. It is estimated that for ten years after the war car and locomotive builders wiil be kept busy rehabilitating the railroad sof this country and Europe. 3. There has been a gentlemen's agreement between the Baldwin Locomotive Works and the American Car & Foundry Co. regarding the building of a western plant. It Is now presumed that tha action of the Baldwin Locomotive works presages the. building of th American Locomdtlve work's plant at Gary. 4. There were a number cf smaller subsidiary concerns which sought locations In the vicinity of the Baldwin Locomotive company pianl after it had purchased its site in East Chicago. Plans ior the con-

lanv times when you were intenselv interested in a beautiful selection being played on the phonograph the phonograph ran down right in the midst of just the sweet strains that caught your fancy and spoiled the whole effect. Xo player roll ever invented will travel without skidding crosswise of the tracker bar. The moment this occurs what happens? The musical effect of your beautiful selection is spoiled by a mess of hid

eous discords. Obsolete player actions are equipped with a little thumb screw to adjust the paper roll, but. you never use it until the paper has skidded sidewise and blocked the air channels and spoiled your whole musical thought also ruffled your temper. The only reason why such old-time merchanical devices are used is because the Standard Pneumatic Tracking Device is patented and never used in cheap player actions. Pneumatic Tracking Device Means Satisfaction Thumb Screw Device Means Trouble. The Standard Pneumatic Tracking Device is found in the best player pianos. It is never found in" player actions using rubber tubing. Metal tubing is always found in the player piano containing the Standard Pneumatic Tracking Device.

mat a boom will result until the plant is actually under construction. The real significance of the announce-v ment Is that the city of East Chicago which Includes Indiana Harbor will probably become the largest city in the county. And the group of cities In North township as compared with the group cf l ities in Calumet township will n!was have the largest population, will be the uo?t potent political factor and will contain the yet undetermined regional business district. In the event of the amalgamation of the cities cf North Township the amalgamated city would prf'bably be second only to Indianapolis and would pass that city within ;0 years. New Developments Arise. It is expected that the new developments wiil have an important bfarir.g on East Chicago's housing needs and, will re-open Its case before the housing 1 committee at Washington.

It is also a foregone conclusion that

the transportation requirements of the

J region will need immediate revising even taking into consideration the re- ; cent extrusions, connections and new

! equipment that has been ordered by the United States government. A Real Estate Romance.

The story of the first Baldwin boom Is one of the real estate romances of the region. Teople stood in line all night in order to get the first chance to huy lots in the principal subdivisions. Smith Bader Davidson Co. cleaned up JTJ.OOO on one subdivision in a week. The East Chicago Co. soid a million dollars worth of property in a few months. The Calumet Kennedy Land Co. sold $50,000 worth of property in a week. Hammond investors who had failed to take advantage of the Gary boom got into the East Chicago market with the result that todav most of For-

A number of Hammond business men are the owners of some cf tin principal corners in the busines district of East Chicago and now pxprct to see their holdings increase rapidiy in value. Now An Industrial Giant. But this time It will not be the Baldwin that will precipitate the boom in East Chicago. East Chicago has become an industrial giant since the first Baldwin boom In spite of the disappointment following its failure to locate. The Mark Manuf acturing Co.. now I re-Incorporated as the Steel & Tube company, with $32,000,000 of assets, the Sinclair Oil Reftining Co.. and scores of other concerns have located in East Chicago since the days of the Baldwin boom.

NEW CO. ABSORBS BIG PLANTS

CContlnuel from pae one.) rany. the interests Identified with Clayton Mark and the group represented by Ferdinand and Henry J. Schlessinger of Milwaukee. Further consolidation of these interests is expected. Buy Iroquois Iron Co. The consolidation began two year ago when these interests bought practically all cf the stock of the Iroquois Iron company and it became allied with the By-Products I'oke corporation in operation. A year ago the Mark organization was expanded and $.000.00ii three year notes were sold to provide working capital. Since that time $15,000,000 in cash has been put Into the property. The new company will have a capacjty of 751.000 tons of pie iron and 430.000 tons of finished steel annually. What New Plants Are. It would appear that this capacity will be enlarged shortly since the build

ing plans of the Hark company alone a year ago contemplated an annual capacity of 500.000 tons of finished steel. The new plants and improvements which the company will have when It begins business under the new name will be a 600 tons blast furnace just finished by the Mark company, a complete Besmer plant, an open hearth steel department with a rapacity of at least 60.000 tons, plate, blooming, billet, and skelp. and pipe mills and dock and harbor facilities for the largest ore vessels. Supplied with Ore and Coke. The company is fully supplied now with ore. coal, coke, limestone, and every material nereary to the manufacture of finished steel through its allied corporations. The By-Product Coke corporation's ovens adjoin the Mark property and supply the coke. The Mark Manufacturing company was established in 1S? with $:,000 capital. In 1301 $50,000 capital was added. Up to June 30, 1017, more than $7,500,ooo had been put back into the property from earnings. The Iroquois company recently bought the plant of the American Smelting and Refining ccmrany.
