1 PerKaps thougK, you will look back a few years from now, and shake hands with yourself about your good judgement and decision, if you will do as we advise you to do: YOU HAVE THE SAME CHANCE TODAY, that Whiting's most successful business men, men-who-are-living-on-easy-street-to-day, took advantage of 20 years ago. Only, think of what Whiting was 20 years ago, what it is to-day and what it will be 1 0 years from now. Don't look back about your past regrets and indecisions. They're over the dam. Who, also has been the big gainer by the development of your City of Whiting? Why, its been the nonresident. We can tell you of a score of Hammond and East Chicago and Gary investors who have bought your business district real estate and have potentially at least, made hundreds of thousands of dollars. Simply because, they had faith in your city. They have reaped the dollars you should have reaped. ;i , In which direction will the business dictrict of Whiting develop? You say. Let's study the map for a moment. First, let's see which way YOU CAN GROW. You can't grow north, on account of Lake Michigan. You can't grow south, because the trend of business development in Whiting is from east to wesj. You can't grow east because of the Standard Oil Company. SO YOU MUST GROW WEST. BUSINESS DISTRICTS WILL FOLLOW THE PATH OE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOP
