Deposits Will Be Taken at Appraisal Price. "First ComeFlrst Served" the Rule Sam Carmon, of E. A. Cummings & Co., 40 North Dearborn St., Chicago, who sold out the Rock Island project of 649 houses in less than 30 days, says: "You are offering the public a remarkable proposition. The prices are low and the terms unprecedented. You ought to sell out in a few days under these conditions. I know the Hammond project, having visited it several times."

he Public Is At Last Aroused To Its Opportunity

Its Attitude Towards the Government Project has Changed. Only a louse to House Investigation Was Needed to Sweep Aside the Mistaken Ideas About This Great Project. These Facts Stand Out: 1 . The houses are a great bargain and will pay 1 0 to 12 per cent net on investment. 2. The houses are well built on solid concrete foundations. Are modern in every way. 3. The terms are the easiest that were ever offered on improved property in Hammond. - 4. You are dealing with the government; your big generous Uncle Sam; square dealer. 5. Your carrying charges are the lowest; no assessments, interest only 6 per cent per year. 6. Big lot, covered with black soil; lawn, trees and shrubs planted, goes with house. 7. Street improvements are of concrete, best in Hammond, and are all paid for in full. 8. Government gives Warranty Deed and Abstract of Title, brought down to date, free. 1

Investment Feature Unparalleled When you can take a few hundred dollars and put it in an absolutely safe proposition that will pay for itself in eight to ten years without putting in another dollar except what you get from rents and then have a fine piece of property to pay you a big income for the rainy day, YOU CANT BEAT THE GOVERNMENTS PROPOSITION.

Remember Uncle Sam Loses $340,000 Hammond men built these houses. There was no under-production on this job. The men got only $ 1 .00 an hour. They now get $1 .25. Lumber and materials have gone up out of sight since these houses were contracted for. Uncle Sam got dollar for dollar here.

Who Then, Gets This $340,000 Loss ? The Purchasers Tomorrow, of Course! Do You Wonder, Then, that We Expect to be Sold Out the First Days of the Sale?
