George R. Streeter. the publisher who has been working on his latest publication "Hammond's Honor in the War," has completed the first edition and it is a very creditable publication. The first edition is p-actically sold out and a glance through the pages of the book reveals the fact that it mlgh he In every home in Hammond. It is profusely Illustrated with fine etchings and half-tones and deals with all of Hammond's war activities. As a work of historical value It will be highly appreciated in years to come by those who become possesors of a copy. Publisher Streeter deserves to have made a lot of money out of the book when as a matter of fact. It does not begin to pay him for his time and labor. It is understood that Mr. Streeter is about to begin work on

bi next nuhlication which is to be I
