THE STORY OF GARY
By Frederic J: Hsskin. 2, l;iI. :.

lators have no chance here where land deals are concerned, for he who buys lands must agree to build in eighteen months. and the title passes to him oniy when he builds. It is permanent resi-" dents and business folks that Gary wants. and 1t will have them. and there is no psternalism about the matter. either.
 1t IS expected that the mills of the United Steel Corporation will be ek- ceeded in time only by the Krupps-- and they may surpass even these Judging by the great bounds that steel has made In the past ten years. With Gary as manufactory site there will De room for expansion, and, what IS or equal importance room for steel using plants to locate there and create quicker market. The American Car Foundry, Company has established It. self next to the steel mills, and in It's manufacture of steel railway cars will employ 5000 men. The American Bridge and Iron Works has found a suitable site there. and other subsidiary mauufactories such as the American Steel and Wire Company and the Amer ican Tin Plate Company are coming. The superior facilities afforded by nearness to the steel plants and the lake, railways and canal for shipping will attract numerous other plants which Gary will welcome. and it is bee lieved that Chicago will lose goodly number of growing factories that have found no room for expansion in their present location. Especially those us- ing the output of the United States Steel Corporations plants are expect ed.
 True to its cosmopolitan spirit. Gary has drawn It's population from widely scattered area of this country. And true to it's determination to build stable and permanent institution: 1t has chosen the men who can best do that work. On Broadway alone there are business buildings erected and occu. pied by men from thirteen different states, and each has brought with him an abiding faith and pride in the new city, as has each of the other members of the several thousand population. The good government, the civic pride. the excellent laws enacted for the municipality all prove the standard of its citizenry.
 Chicago. first trading center when wilderness was king.ss had adverse phy- sical conditions to overcome in order to establish itself and in order to reach | it's pre-eminent place in the western world. Chicago was the child of the pioneer. that must rise step by step by | the conquest of adverse conditions. If its rise has been 80 great over so many 1 difficulties, what may one not expect | of Gary that has already done so much tn, two years time7
 For Gary Is no pioneers child. It Is the child of wealth and prosperity. born Into a world where money and brains had already planned out every step of its career for century ahead. and where every modern invention and idea and opportunity was laid as gift in it's hand by its fond parent. the United States steel Corporation. IL will not be a pampered. eoddled darling. by any means. for It's rich parents are of the highest type of modern Americanlsm, demanding that the child of the rich of today be given every preparation for l making its way In the world. and then set to work to fulfill its destiny. Such a child is the. study city of Gary. and a half century, or less, will bring proof | as to whether or not Chicago need have fenrg over its existence. .,.- 1 Copyright, 1908, by Frederic J.
