HARRY C. STUART, President. Mr. Stuart has had sixteen years' business and industrial experience and about five years foundry management. He organized and managed the East Chicago Foundry, which is today one of the leading industries of the Calumet Region. In the gray iron foundry circles he is considered a leading authority and during the recent world strife was engaged on vast, important contract work for the U. S. Shipping Corporation. Ever since boyhood days, the industrial hum and mute language of factory smoke held an alluring fascination over "Harry" and his best pal is work be it of brain or brawn. Mr. Stuart is a native of the Calumet Region and his genial disposition has made him friends of everyone who has had the grip of his cordial handshake. He resides with his family in the Country Club Addition where he recently purchased a beautiful bungalow.

COIT F. HOLT, Secy.-Treascrer. Mr. Holt comes to tho Griffith t'oundry Co., and the Calumet Region from Chicago, after twenty years uiih tlie Federal SubTreasury, being one of Lncle Sam's oldest ftniiloyccs in that department. His Qualifications well ht Km tor the responsible duties he is assuming with thi; c:-:y?'l.r,;".. A congenial feliow, with conservative business ide.-.s. !:c v.Ji mri!iigt the business departments efficiently. Mr. IKlt :s one of the principal instigators of this enterprise ?n6 has labored. tirelessly ever since its inception. Although a newcomer to this region he has already made a host of friend.5 here, and is now negotiating for a home in Hammond where he will make his residence.

1 hese men, with but one exception, hardly need any introduction to the people of Lake County. They are products of the Calumet Region, reared from boyhood in the hard school of experience the school that teaches vou the value of service and the dollar both and their success proves their training to be thorough. Mr. Holt comes to us from Chicago with twenty years' experience in Uncle Sam's sub-treasury. So much for the men at the helm. And now for the enterprise Gray Iron Foundries throughout the United States, and the Chicago industrial region in particular, are flooded with work. They simply cannot handle new orders.. The Griffith Foundry Co. now has capacity orders. With our modern equipment and experienced management we will be able to handle them smoothly, do good work and make money. And now listen to what I. Hamilton Lewis, former senator, has to say on

"Any reflection will bring any man to but one conclusion, and that is, that the greatest industrial prosperity for the next ten years is ahead of the United States, surpassing any that it has ever known or. that which any other country has ever enjoyed. "Let us recall that a condition exists that has no fellow in the commercial and financial history of our times. Seven of the great countries of Europe which have heretofore been our competitors abroad and at home, are not only wiped out in their finances, but all their opportunities and instrumentalities for commerce and industry crippled and decayed. "Britain, France and Italy are overwhelmingly in debt to the United States. Germany will shortly be completely dependent upon this Nation for its future commercial revival. Austria can have no other source to turn to but the United States. "The United States having the securities of those countries, naturally is anxious for the countries to earn the money with which they can pay the debts they owe the United States. This can only be done through the United State; advancing credits and money to the foreign governments with which to buy our manufactured articles and the raw material for their manufactured articles. The profits they will make w:I! enable them to pay taxes and discharge burdens due our nation. Every nation bv means of these sums paid bv their citizens will be able to discharge the debts due the United Slates. FOR TEN YEARS NONE OF THESE COUNTRIES CAN EVEN PAY THEIR FULL INTEREST. MUCH LESS ANY PART OF THEIR PROFITS. FOR TW ENTY YEARS NONE OF THESE COUNTRIES CAN BRING MANUFACTURING AND COMMERCIAL INDUSTRY TO THE POINT THAT IT HAD REACHED BEFORE THE

"This all means that the Lnited States is to be the financing house, the banker, the manufacturer, the supply depot and the political guide- so far as the forms of laws which govern the protection of these different instruments are concerned as to all of these lands. To this let it be added that the Orient will have to look to the Lmted States, as Japan, our only competitor'in the Far East, cannot supply herself. To this we also add all of South America and

For this reason it is plain that STOCK AND SECURITIES IN MANUFACTURING AND MECHANICAL AND GENERAL INDUSTRIAL CONCERNS, v, here they are run honestly, offer t ?e surest riches of any form of undertaking that we now have in prospect for the next ten o twenty yeas."

FRANK J. WACHEWICZ, Vice President. Mr. Wachewicz blew in from Pittsburgh about thirty years ago when about three feet high, but he never did rid himself of the Pittsburgh smoke and has been rapid firing successfully at one thing or another ever since. Actively engaged in the real estate and home building business in Hammond for the last eight years, his activities reach all over the region and there is hardly a person who has not felt the influence of Frank's genial smile. Some of the finest homes in Hammond were erected by him, and West Hammond proudly boasts as "The City of Homes," which was accomplished greatly through the efforts of Mr. Wachewicz. An outstanding feature of all his work which earned for him a popular reputation is his intolerance of cheap work, no matter how small the job, and his motto is: "When you do a thing do it right." Mr.-Wachewicz will be closely connected 'with the administrate e affairs of the foundry and in this capacity will lose no opportunity in seeing that his motto is practiced.

JOHN C. NOWICKI, Director. Mr. Nowicki didn't come, he just always was in these parts and principally in Hammond, where he now resides. As manager of the Wachewicz Realty Concern since its early days, he always was a fervent booster for everything that was good for the Calumet Region and Hammond in particular, which is easily depicted in the advertising he writes for his concern and to which both he and Mr. W achewicz are susceptible slaves. An expert d;taii man and well versed on real estate law, he holds the distinction for his firm of being the only agency to offer the guarantee of "Satisfaction or your money back with a smile." He says the Calumet Region will soon be "the Pittsburgh of the west," and the man that can't see his opportunity here had better quit looking.
