These Garclen sites-of which there are only 1 5-constilute the unsold portion of a 10-acre tract immediately adjoining "Hartmans Gardens" on the east we did not intend placing this property on tire market until this fall but, when we held our opening sale and, we had more buyers on the f?ound than sites-we promised the late comers, that we? would start at once to grade the streets and prepare the site or the market. This second addition is even prettier than the first. Many of these sites have mammoth virgin oak trees on them. Insuring plenty of shade when you are ready to build. Every one of these Garden sites m Hartmans Gardens Second Addition" is covered with rich black dirt. Positively the finest garden land m this detect. The way the early buyers picked up the choice sites at our last rale proved that our property was right-and our price was right. Have vour garden site plowed and planted, right now-come out to Hartmans Gardens m Hessville and see the nice gardens that arc already slarted-its not too late to start yours-ask any or the residents and they will tell you that most of our buyers were from Hessvilli proving tnat tncy knew this farm, and were willingto invest in it. You cannot make a mistake if you buy one of these ! 5 Gnrden sites. YOU WILL MAKE A MISTAKE IF YOU DON'T BUY. Just think of the size 103 by 133. The Gary 6k Interurban provides an all night service to Hammond-Kennedy Avenue Station is only 2 blocks from "Hartmans Gardens"-the L. S. & M. S. suburban station at Gibson is only a short distance away.
