In the tapestry of East Michigan's colorful historic background one of the outstanding figures is Pontiac, chief of the Ottawas, and probably the greatest American Indian chief of all time. Numerous monuments have been erected to this great chief. While the great Ottawa chief, who was the titular head of the Algonquins, was spoken of in the parlous times of 1760 by the British, as the “Satan of the forest wilderness,” American historians generally concede he was a" man of courage, resolution and wisdom, and possessed a quick perception and ready adaptation together with a gift of convincing eloguence, - : . City Named After Him ‘

Pontiac, Michigan, a city of 65,000, county seat of Oakland County, is named after the famous chieftain. This tribute to the Indian is merited because Oakland County, with its more than 400 -beautiful spring fed lakes, wooded hills and two attractive rivers—the Huron and the Clinton—was the favorite place of resort of the great chief. Oakland County’s hills and forests were Pontiac’s hiding places when his plans against the Detroit fort were frustrated. Qakland County’s lakes were his places of recreation and here he roamed with his braves and rested from his labors. The fish and game of the section supplied his food needs and those of his tribe and the fresh air and pure water of the section were as attractive to the discriminating tribes which were banded together under his leadership as they have proven today to the fastidious of the entire middle West. Here brown-skinned Indian water nymphs frolicked on the sandy shores of Oakland County’s lakes two centuries ago. - Today modern mermaids from nearly every state in the union frolick along the same yellow shores lapped by the same satin waves. Lodge Located on Island

One of the outstanding lakes of the section is Orchard Lake., In the center of this lake is a large island, wooded to its very shore. On it are a few apple trees, remnants of an orchard planted by the Indians. It is named “Me-nah-sa-gor-ning,” in the Algonquin tongue meaning “Apple place,” and still 1! /e in tradition. 02 this island the O.tawa Chief Pontiac had his lodzc. On the Lizh bank of the lake, cppcsoite ti:e island, is still to be seen thes ancient burial ground of the Sacs, Hurons and Wyandottes. Revenge and ambition urged Pontiac on in his plot against the 12 British forts, kncwn in history as the “Pontiac Conspiracy.” Pontiac, resentful of the donineering attituds of the British wien they won the territory frcm the French, called all the tribes in council and planned a campaign of extermination, He was the first American statesman, one historian has humorously pointed out, who recorded himself as opposed to the unrestricted immigration of nondescript Europeans. The contrast bétween the friendly spirit of the French and the austere demeanor of the British was responsible to a large extent for the plot. The council arranged by the tribal chiefs tock place on April 27, 1763, on the present site of the village of Ecorse. The simultaneous attack on the 12 forts was planned to take place May 7, 1763. Nine of the 12 forts fell in this attack, one of the three which withstood the assaults being Detroit. The successful sorties for the most part resulted in the massacre of most of the British in the forts. "E. O. Wood in his history says: “Without the organizing genius of Pontiac to give method and or-

der to those energies there would doubtless be a little else than a series of wild, futile outbursts.” “Pontiac,” says Cooley in his “Michigan,” “was one of those rare characters among the Indians whose merits are so transcendent that without the aid of adventitious circumstances they take by common consent the leadership in peace and war.” Pontiac was the principal chief of the Ottawas, not only by birth but by merit as well. By merit he had gained powerful influence over #most all the tribes of Algonquin stock and to some extent over the Iroquois. At the time of the Pontiac Conspiracy, he was about 50 years of age. " Great Recreational Center

Pontiae, the city, 1s the center of that vast area of . recreational resources which Pontiac, the Ottawa chief, loved, The section today has become even more attractive because of the collaboration between Nurture af'pd Nature, which has heightened the many heritages reflected in natural beauty spots. Today this section, generally known as Oakland County, possesses 12 great state parks, nearly one-fifth of all of Michigan’s state parks. The same area has 24 golf courses, many of which are available to tourists and visitors.

The hundreds of lakes located in Oakland County are linked together with splendid systems of highways that make accessible every section. Many of these highways meandér through virgin timber traects or skirt the winding rims of lakes. The shores of these lakes today are the prized possessions of thousands of city-tired people who use them as fitting gymnagiums in which to rebuild exhausted physiques and to straighten out strained nerves. Here for a large part of the summer one-piece bathing suits have become almost the formal garb of femininity. = Rival of Appian Way

The World’s Greatest Highway has its northern end in Pontiac. This great travel avenue is 204 feet wide and permits four streams of traffic in both directions all the time. It is the only successful rival of the famous Appian Way, begun by Appius Claudius Caecus, Roman censor in 812 B. C., a highway, by the way, that is ctill in good repair and in use in some places today. The World’s Greatest Highway is locked upon in engineering and road-building circles ag an ouistanding example of road-making skill and of foresight in trafic planning. Unique in highway accomplishment as it is today, it lis expected that a generction wiil not have passed before it will be copied in other places as the necessary solution to trafiic preblemms on main avenues into a large center. The southern terminal of this highway s Detroit. This highway is also a fitting monument to the Ottawa Indian Chief.

The city of Pontiac is the home of Oakland and Pontiac automobiles, General Motors trucks, yellow cabs, busses, Fisher Bodies and the engines for the Willys-Knight and Whippet cars.

Pontiac possesses three modern hotels. Throughout the 900 square miles in the county are hundreds of resorts and hotels offering every accommodation to the tourist, vacationist and vigitor. The county is said to possess more beautiful country estates than any similar area in the middle West.

- All of which is interesting because of the stamp of approval which Pontiac, the Ottawa chieftain, placed upon this section through his selection of it for his own enjoymeni two centuries ago.

He moved from Ligonier three years ago and maintained his headquarters-in Kendallville. About two years ago he located in Fort Wayne. He was a pioneer in the middle west in operation of the shoe chain store idea on theory of maximum production at min imum cost. His business was successful and from the small beginning he accumulated large holdings and became wealthy. :

The wheat ranch of which Mr. Lepird, is now owner was purchased from the Straus Brothers Company who bought it last fall Since taking possession of the ranch the Straus Brothersd Company equipped it with modern motorized machinery and other improvements were made.

Doctor Found What is Best for Thin, Constipated People

As a family doctor at Monticello, Illinofs, the whole human body, not any small firt of it, was Dr. Caldwell's practice. More than half his “calis” were on women, children and babies. They are the ones most often sick. But their illnesses were usually of a minor nature—colds, fevers, headaches, biliousness—and all of them required first a thorough evacuation. They were constipated. In the course of his 47 years’ practice (he was graduated from Rush Medical College back in 1875), he found a good deal of success in such eases with a prescription of his own containing simple laxative herbs with pepsin. In 1892 he decided to use this formula in the manufacture of a medicine to be known as Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin, and in that year his irescription was first placed on the market. - The preparation immediately had as great a success in the drug stores as it previously had in his private praetice. Now, the third generation is using it. Mothers are giving it to their children ‘who were given it by their mothers. Every second of the working day someone somewhere is going into a drug store to buy it. Millions of bottles of Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin-are being used a year. Its great sucecess is based on merit, on repeated buying, on one satisfied user telling another, There are thousands of homes in this country that are never without a bottle of Dr, Caldwell’s
