BECAUSE it is the last dose in section suitable for Hammond and East Chicago homes where the prices are within reach of wage earners and where the building restrictions are reasonable and where the man who has not got large capital may have a home. Morris Park has line street car serk-c. Two blocks from the Garv line (at Columbia and Sibley street). Three blocks fi 'om the State street line (at State and Columbia). Three blocks from East Chicago line (at Truman and Calumet Ave.). East Chicago and Hammond are rapidly gTOwing together soon they will be one might v city. Naturally many of the better grade workmen in East Chicago want to live in a prettv section of Hammond because any medium priced property right in East Chicago is spoiled by the smoke, the dirt and gas of the big factories there. On account of its loeatkn Morris Park is free. from smoke, dirt and gas. An ideal spot for your "Home Place." Morris Park is within walking distance of the center of Hammoud, at corner of State and Hohman streets. Just nine blocks from the center. Tins tract is also within walking distance of the Standard Steel Car Works and all the great plants around Hammond. It is onlv three blocks from the East Chicago line where for five cents a person may get. in a few minutes, to any plant in East Chicago or Indiana Harbor. Columbia Park graded city school right on Hie property. The city trustees had the whole section to pick from, but in their judgment Morris Park was the most centrally located tract in all of the East and North East of Hammond and.

hence, they bought an entire block m this tract and built that splendid school. Columbia Park lies directly across the street from this property. The park is becoming more beautiful every year. Every year the city improves it more and more. Surely you will admit that it is a fine thing to have your family enjoy all the privileges of a park, right at the door. How grand to have a place where the children can safely play under the trees amidst the sweet smelling grasses and flowers. Give your familv a real home buv at Morris Park. In order to keep the property in good shape we sell the lots subject to a fair building restriction. You don't have to build, but if you do build vou must put the house on the back of tinlot, at least 60 feet from the front line or spend at least $2000 on it. In other words, the building restriction is $2000, but we permit small liomes on the back of the lots. We believe later on the people who build on the back f the lot will be able to afford a larger house on the front and use the small place as part of the new home. Think of it all you need is $3, a little money for lumber, your own labor Saturdav afternoons and evening and soon you have a home. Perhaps small at first, but the money you now throw awav in rent will soon make that little home grow into a fine big house that your wife and children will enjoy. Nothing so worthless as a bunch of rent receipts. Stop making the landlord rich. Begin paying rent to yourself and get some of the riches for yourself and family. Remember. ;ill you need is $3 and a little "get thereuess" in your character. Morris Park has. in brief, everything that goes to make a good investment. Improvements, car service, churches, school, stores, pretty surrounding homes, public park, reasonable building restrictions very low prices, easy terms of payment and big demand for such property with a population that is growing greater every day. Now quit drifting along. Make one of these lots vour savings bank, put a little five dollars to work for you every month and watch your profits grow.

Hurry!

Often we have sold out a subdivision in a few days. This beautiful tract at our cut prices and terms cannot last many days. So hurry up and get the choice and earn that big profit for yourself.

BECAUSE The city is still young and is growing rapidly. There is not a vacant house in town. Any old place can be rented at high rents. New homes are sold before the carpenters arc finished. Why is this? The answer is simplv that population is increasing so rapidly. Anv property in Hammond or East Chicago is a good investment. Buy anywhere, you are safe and sure to make a profit. Naturally we think Morris Park is the best buy. Buy at Morris Park and make a good profit. Within the last few weeks the firm of Gostlin, Meyn & Hastings has sold three big tract? of acreage to new plants that are coming to Hammond and East Chicago. Thes-5 plants will employ thousands of highly paid workmen. Realize that this means more and more demand for pretty home sites like Morris Park. The firm of Gostlin, Meyn & Hastings have done more than any person or organization to develop Hammond and East Chicago. Thev have preached for years, good times and bad times, the advantages of this wonderful section for manufacturing plants, on account of transportation, location and labor conditions. Thev can point to dozens of big plants that thev have brought here. Hammond owes a very jireat deal of its prosperity to this enterprising firm. Gostlin, Meyn & Hastings plan to bring many more plants here. At the present time they are negotiating with two of the lareest em

ployers in the U. S. to buy a big tract and locate here. They have pinned their faith to this wonderful section and state that the industrial development is just beginning. Realize what all this means. Will you stop drifting along, wasting your money, or will you invest and reap your share of the great prosperity that is coming to Hammond and East Chicago? Never again can you truthfully say you have not had a chance to make big money. Here is your chance. You can spare $5 a month, think of the many fives you waste. Just put. five dollars a month to work for you at Morris Park an'l watch your profits, big fat golden profits, grow. But act today NOW. The millionaires believe in Hammond and East Chicago and have proved their belief by investing millions. Follow their lead and invest todav at Morris Park Tract. Read what others say: Theodore Roosevelt Said: "Every person who invests in well selected real estate in a growing section of a prosperous community, adopts the surest and safest method of becoming independent, for real estate is the basis of all wealth." William J. Bryan said: "Real estate is the best investment for small savings. To speculate in stocks is risky. When you buy real estate vou are buying an inheritance." Andrew Carnegie said: "The wise youns man or wasre earner today invests his monev in real estate." Grover Cleveland said: "No investment on earth is so safe, so certain to enrich its owner as undeveloped realty. There is no such savincs bank anywhere." John Jacob Astor said: "Buy at the fringe and wait." This rule of real estate investment has made his children the richest real estate holders in America. John Wanamaker said: '.The difference between the clerk who spends all his salary and the clerk who saves part of it is the difference in 10 years between the owner of the business and a man out, of a job."

Stop It!
