and the program has been printed.

$50 to 800 from the various associa-
tions which have promised to support
the celebration.
Promoters Do Great Work.
The promoters of the Gary celebra-
tion have not fallen down in a single
particular. It seems that every one
they have solicited has been more than
willing to do all they could to make
the day a memorable one.
1t is the Gary way. The people of
Gary have never yet failed to do
everything they have undertaken in the
best and most thorough manner that
could be devised. As result, when
the people of Gary undertake an en-
terprise of the kind the general pub
lie knows that 1T will not be a fizzle.
One OF the greatest attractions at
Gary will be the city itself Thousands
of workers have not yet seen the
greatest industrial marvel of the age.
A city which was conceived and built
along ideal lines by both capital and
labor. and promises to make Lake
county one of the richest, most popul-
Gus and most influential counties in
the state.
