Anyhow this real estate firm Is not allowing: any moss to collect In the interim between now and the actual location of the bis steel plant In Hammond, for William J. Hastlnjs. aecretary of Gostlln. Meyn and 'Hastings, has sent out the following letter to a Urgre number of eastern mann'''acturers: "Judge Oary itw it year ago and pt,ehaaed 7 mil., of lake frontage 1 a.ry for the future home of the United StMAtm Steel Corporation.

The Baldwin Locomotive Works. American Car & Foundry Company, McClintic Marshall Company, Buckeye Steel Castings Company, American Bridge Company , Henry C.

more than 100 manufacturers in the Ch-icajro District. Sound business economics demand that you establish a plant in the West, because of the fact that the CHICAGO DISTRICT TO-DAT ONIT PRODUCES 32 PER CENT OF THE STEEL IT USES. And, Just think of the wonderful future the Middle West has in Ft ore.

Our 'references are any bank or manufacturer In the Calumet District. We have sold sites to the Standard Steel Company, Standard Oil Company, Sinclair Oil Company, Standard Steel Car Company, and many other companies. You can feel the return of genuine prosperity and so can we. Factories now occupying land valued at thousands of dollars an at-re, will ha-e to come West where land is cheaper and, where the freight charge item Is less. Hammond's tax laws are equitable. They were studied thoroughly by attorneys of the United States Steel Corporation, Jones & Laughlin Company and the Standard Oill Company, before a single cent was spent for land purchases. Our city and the surroundingterritory in particularly adapted to the manufacture of steel, the

refining- of oills, the manufacture of chemicals and the construction of freight cars.

i .As we said at the 'beginning-. Judge Gary saw It years ago: Jones & Laughlin saw it yesterday. Will jou face the facts and act to--lay or will you let your competitor ict?

A thing-, in which you will be interested is the boundary line shown as "THE CHICAGO SWITCHING DISTRICT.'' A -very important ilne so far as your frelg-ht tonnage is concerned. Specifically, it means that Hammond enjoys exactly the same thru freight rates, both in and out, that Chicago enjoys. Ask your traffic man about this. We know of one concern that r!ght now buy their steel in Cle

veland, ship it to Jersey City, to

be manufactured and more than BO per cent of the finished product is shipped 'back to the Chicago District. Just think of the tremendous freig-ht charges alone on this movement. Hammond has ten trunk railroads which radiate in all directions to the coal and coke fields. It also hag three belt railroads, which tap every railroad entering- the' City of Chicago. The U. S. Ship canal makes It possible to bring- ore by iboat direct from Duluth to Hammond. Hammond furnishes water In quantities for as low as four cents a thousand gallons. Perhaps, you need "a thousand acres, or perhaps only five. In either event, you are welcome to this

Fords Run 34 Miles On Gallon Gasoline Start Easy In Coldest Weatfcer

I Other Cars Show ProMrtloaMe -

Savins;. A new carburetor which, cuts down gasoline consumption of any motor and reduces gasoline bills from one-third to one-half is the proud achievement of the Air-Friction Carburetor, Co., 801 Madison St., Dayton Ohio. This remarkable invention not only increases the power of motors from 30 to 60 per cent, but enables every one to run slow on high gear. It also makes it easy to start a Ford or any other car in the coldest weather. You can use the vehy cheapest grade of gasoline and half kerosene and still get more power and more mileage than you now get from the -highest test gasoline. All Ford owners can get as high as 34 miles to a gallon of gajoline. So 'sure are the manufacturers of the immense saving their new carburetor will make that they offer to send it on 30 days' trial to every car owner. As it can be put on or taken off in a few minutes by anyone all readers of this paper who want to try if should send their name, address and make of car to the manufacturers at once They also want local agents, to whom they offer exceptionally large profits.
