SMALL PLANTS
READY TO COME
Half of Gary's Greatness Will in a
Short Time be Lesser Industries,
100 Applicants for Sites

Gary's greatness is not going to
consist entirely in her mammoth steel
plants, blast furnaces, bridge works,
foundries, locomotive shops, tinplate
mills and coke ovens. They will rep
resent only half her vast greatness.
It will be the countless smaller
factories employing from 800 to
1000 men that will make the city
count.
FORMER STORY CONFIRMED.
Saturday the announcement was
made in THE TIMES that the Pitts
burg Bolt & Screw company would
move its plant to Gary and rebuild
upon land purchased in the east end.
Five hundred men will find work in
this minor industry which is to be
the first in the group that will in
few years be the city's major in
dustry-countless factories in all
lines using Gary millions of tons of
steel.
ONE HUNDRED FACTORIES COMING.
There are said to be more than one
hundred factory sites in the hands of
the steel corporation officials from COM
pxnfss just like the I'fttsburg Bolt &
Screw company.
Recognizing the stragetic location of
Gary companies representing the vari-
Gus interests allied to the iron and steel
business have made applications for
sites in the coming steel center of the
world. And. more applications continue
TO come every week.
WHY COMPANY LEFT PITTSBURG.
1t is not a matter of sentiment that
induced the steel corporation to pour
one hundred million dollars over a
wilderness of sand dunes and scrub
oaks and create thereon the most mod
ern steel plant ever built and the most
up-to-dat city on the American con-
tinent. Neither is it sentiment that
leads the Pittsburg Bolt & Screw COM
pany to shut down it's factory in the
shadow Of the great Carnegie mills and
come to Gary.
ECONOMY THE MAGNET.
The word economy" tells the story
briefly. Economy in cost of production
is the magnet for the steel trust. II
the greatest business corporation ever
conceived finds that it can make steel
cheaper here than any place else in the
world and thus issues a potent ukase
making Gary its capital why should
not lesser concerns profit by the same
advantage? They will.
HAVE RESERVED FACTORY SITES
Realizing that within a short time
scores of minor industries making iror
and steel products would be attracted
to Gary, the steel corporation has set
aside more than thousand acres fol
factory sites. This land is located IL
all parts Of the city
One division of it is in the northeast
section, south of the coke ovens. An
other division is south of the Wabash
tracks and east of Broadway. A thirc
plot is west of the new second sub
division or south of the Burlington ce
ment plant. Thus the gigantic indiana

Good Record Made by Women.

Through the activity of women. in
the ani-tuberculosis campaign, sana-

OF tuberculosis have been erected;
travelling Libraries have been circu-
lated. posters. circulars and other
kinds Of literature have been distrib-
uted TO the number OF millions Of
pieces. thousands of lectures have
been given. large sums of money have
been secured. hundreds OF needy cases
have been helped; tuberculosis work
has been started in many communi-
ties where no movement had existed:
and millions of women have learned
the dangers and methods OF proven

women extends from the drawing room
