The tremendous push of Hammond's Eastwardly Development has long since passed Calumet avenue. It has built up such streets as May, Carroll, Bauer and Becker half way to Columbia avenue, and farther. Bungalow town has grown like a mushroom. It has swirled around to the north of Maywood until it merges with Lyndora, the Million Dollar City that Uncle Sam presented to Hammond during the Ordnance Plant activity. And what a wonderful place Lyndora is coming to be with its quarter of a million dollar hotel, its broad lawns, its attractive detached cottages, its growing business ' district. South of these lots we are offering for sale is Maywood Park; a twenty acre beauty spot, that is already practically surrounded with artistic and attractive bungalows fronting on paved streets. Westward of Maywood is the $350,000 Manual Training School; the finest, in the district. Just like a college for the people of the east side. A conveniently located school for those seeking a higher education. And the

WE ARE NOW PLACING ON THE MARKET 128 LOTS ON DRACKERT, EATOI7 AND LYONS STREETS. WHEN THESE ARE GONE THE HIGH GRADE RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT OF THE EAST SIDE WILL BE COMPLETELY ABSORBED. NO MORE OPEN TERRITORY TO SUBDIVIDE. WEST OF MAYWOOD IS ALL BUILT UP. NORTHWARD IS THE RAILWAY AND FACTORY DISTRICT. EAST OF COLUMBIA AVENUE IS BEAUTIFUL LYNDORA AND THEN THE STANDARD PLANT. SOUTHWARD IT IS NECESSARY TO GO WAY OUTSIDE OF THE CITY LIMITS TO BUY LOTS FOR BUILDING SITES.

uilders, Consider These Facts

If you are going to build your home this year, next year or the year following you must buy your Maywood lot NOW or NEVER. After this sale our prices will all be greatly increased on what few lots are left, if any. You may be able to wait to build your house, BUT YOU CAN'T AFFORD TO WAIT BUY YOUR LOT.

The contract is let for the immediate paving of Drackert and Eaton Streets from Tapper to Columbia Avenues. The work must be completed in 90 days according to the contract with the city. This completes the paving of all of North Maywood. The rest of the street improvements such as sewers, sidewalks, curbs and gutters have been for four years and were built at one-half of today's costs. When We Sell Out Watch East Side Prices Soar As long as there was plenty of vacant property on the East Side and the demand only moderate, prices increased ONLY NORMALLY. That is, they went up from $10.00 a front foot to $15.00 a front foot. BUT NOW WITH AN ABNORMAL DEMAND FOR LOTS FOR BUILDING PURPOSES, TO SAY NOTHING OF THE INVESTMENT DEMAND; AND WITH THE SUPPLY LIMITED TO EXACTLY 128 BUILDING SITES VALUES WILL GO UP TO $25.00 "AND $30.00 A FRONT FOOT IN THE NEXT YEAR.

m Promises Have Beemi Kept

We said the government would spend $500,000.00 and it spent nearer a million. We said a $250,000 hotel would be built and it is now open to the general public. We said Maywood Park would be bought and improved. $3,000.00 is to be spent this year. We promised that street cars would be running on Columbia avenue. Service starts July 1. We promised public utilities. It cost us $2,500.00 to make good with gas and electricity. We promised to do our best to have free delivery service extended. Now we have it. AND YET THIS PROPERTY IS BEING OFFERED AT PRICES AS LOW AS ARE BEING ASKED IN UNDEVELOPED SUBDIVISIONS THAT HAVE NOT HAD FORTUNE SMILE ON THEM AS IT HAS ON MAYWOOD.
