STARTS IN
HAMMOND
Up-to-Date Chicago Flat
Buildings to Be Furnished
With Jones Dishwashers.
One of Products Making
Hammond Famous.

In Chicago they will soon be adver-
tsing flats for rent furnished with all
of the modern conveniences. Among
these will be a Jones' dishwasher
made in Hammond.
The builders of flats in Chicago have
long We'd with each other to make
their flats the most complete and con-
venient in the city. The rent that Is
paid for these flats is so great and high
class tenants are so desirable that to
have apartments equipped with any
new labor-saving device is a great ad-
vertisement.
In most of the better class of the
fats in Chicago steam heat, hot water
stationary ice boxes and a score of
other less important trouble saving
contrivances are advertised as among
the advantages that are offered for the
$3.50 per month that is required to rent
them, but none of them are equipped
with dish washers.
Every Convenience.
Now the Chicago man who has built
his new fiat building wanted to say
that his apartments were the last
word in the way of conveniences. and
so he ordered a number of dishwashers.

ing great progress.

That Hammond is faced with the
problem of rfddfng itself of a class of
desperate characters, Is evidence by an
other successful burglary committed
last night. The saloon of William
Hasse, 373 State street, was entered
after midnight and $S taken from the

shown by the fact that within the past
week alone one attempt had been
made to enter the Beiriger harness
shop and the Schueser paint store, next
to it; that William Burke. a section
man. was murdered at Gibson last Sun
day night for s1.95, that the Hammond
public library was entered last Tues
day night and the burglary in the
Hasse place last night.
Whether any other burglaries have
been attempted is not known. as it is
