Now for a greater Hammond. yonie really big things are going on behind the scenes. Few people are aacarc o fthe vastnes of some of these moves, but If the ball really does start rolling, Hammond will become a grreat metropolis. The Harbor project is one of the things now in the mind of big business. Money has already been appropriated to get momentum under way. Tho Indiana, and Illinois legislatures seem to be in favor of this projfet, and if legislation favoring- it is passed, which is entirely possible, there isn't the Ica-st doubt that the greatest system of docks in the world will be built at our very doors. The government engineer, it is understood, recommends the stretch covering five miles along the Hammond beach front. Hammond will feel the greatest throb of development that must comifrom this project. This next big thing and a thing that may come soon, is amalgamation of Hammond and East Chicago. This will give the city a high rating and enable it to enjoy privileges not possibio for years to rome without amalgamation. "Widened streets and elevation vtll bo amonj the benefits.

Business Now

Getting Impetus That business Is on the upward trend is conceded by many of our leading business men. Pessimism is receding and

a spirit of optimism is abroad. Travel

ing salesmen are bringing back the ba

con orders and big promises. Many

manufacturers ere now selecting good men and gradually rebuilding their organization of producers as orders aro beginning to come In. It is the time to get good woklng material, and those who have vision are employing good men that are available at this time. The buyers strike is breaXInj. People need shoes; they need clothing and many other things they have deprivea themselves of for weens and months. Automobile men report a great stimulus In their line, and the interest manifested by prospects for machines forecasts a fine year for the automobile business.
