PROSPERITY
EMBARASSES
M|NAS &C9.

Prosperity with E. c. Minas & Co. is
actually embarrassing the firm. The
embarrassment comes from the fact
that it is next to impossible for Mr.
Minas TO secure the extra number OF
employees that is necessary to take care
Of the increased business. The follow
ing list indicates how much this we'll
known Hammond merchant is in need
of help.
WANTED-One office man.
Two men in furniture and stove
departments.
one man in the clothing depart
ment.
one man in the gents" furnish
ing department.
Two men in the grocery depart
ment.
one man in the hardware de-
partment.
Three experienced dry goods
saleswomen.
Two delivery men.
This makes a grand total of thirteen
men and women that are needed il
just one Hammond store. Mr.. Minas
says that it is next TO impossible to get
competent employees in the Hammond
stores. He says that he is ready Il
pay good salires to those who can fl
the positions that are now open.
Mr.. Minas prefers to have married
men with families Men who viii come
to Hammond and live. or preferably
men who are already living here. Theil
positions will be good as long as they
make good, and In a growing business
like that of e. G. Minas & Co. there is
always a chance for promotion.
It will occasion a great deal of sur
prise among the people of Hammond
to know that in one. not to mention
others of Hammond's several mercan
tile establishments. there Is so mucl
extra help needed to take care of tn,
rapidly increasing volume Of busi
ness.
AS an Indication of the business tha
this house is doing. Mr.. Minas ha
found 1t necessary TO purchase an aut,
truck for the delivery Of his goods.

Recalls Former Days.

Some time ago it was announced that
Con" Moore had sold out his West
Hammond resort, supposedly to Mr..
and Mrs. Rodney. but it now appears
that he took the place back again and
is now again the owner of the house.
While it is true that there are sew
eral houses of il-fame in West Ham
mond. the fact is admitted that con-
ditions have never been SO bad as they
We're two years ago, when every sa-
loon was a brothel
The suicides, murders and holdups
were 50 common an occurrance that
the whole community became aroused
and the sentiment against them was
so strong that the town was finally
cleaned up.
Later a few of the favored ones were
permitted to reopen their places in
secluded districts, providing they ran
them in an orderly manner With a
few exceptions there has been perfect
order in these places.
The indictment of Moore, however
serves to call attention to the fact
that West Hammond is not altogether
purged and the prosecution of the case
will be watched with interest.

COLON|ZING
THE VOTERS

1t is rumored in political circles that
the democrats are planning the extern
sive colonization of voters In certain
wards. This information comes as good
news to the republican cohorts. for the
reason that ii will be an easy matter to
prevent the voting of non-residents.
and it is an indication of the desper
ate straits in which the Hammond
democrats have found themselves
1t appears that they are planning TO
win the election foul means. II not
