MIGHT GET LID FACTORY
Here's a Chance For Com
mercial Club If They
Get Busy.

Richmond's misfortune might be
Hammond's good fortune. if there was
only way of getting after such things
in this city. The information comes
from the Quaker City that large hat
company there is about to move out of
the city because there is no location
there which is available to the COM
pany in which it may enlarge its busi-
ness.
Apparently this company does not
know that the Calumet region has the
great railroad facilities of any region
in the world, that there is plenty of
land available for the largest plant that
could be located here. that the people
of Hammond would especially welcome
hat factory for the reason that the
people of Hammond want diversified
Industries so that the city will not be
entirely dependent on the steel indus
try.
The following is the information that
was received in this city yesterday
about this company:
Richmond may lose the Simon. Wag-
oner & Cook Hat company because there
is not location available to which it
can remove and enlarge it's business.
The company wishes to incorporate
and increase its force. but in its pres
ent quarters can not do the latter. Fort
Wayne is making bid for the bust
pess and the plant may be removed.

But the parent insisted. He would
come home and ask her if she had made
UP her mind to marry Wojtowicx and
when she tearfully told him that she
could never marry that man he would
whip her numerically
Life became a burden to her and
finally she agreed to the union think

not love than she was at home.
