Indiana Harbor. April 6.-The Com
mercial Club of Indiana Harbor and
East Chicago last night decided to in
dorse the Real Estate Show that Is TO
be opened April % in the Coliseum,
Chicago, and will continue until May Z.
Committees will be appointed to work
up enthusiasm among real estate men
and builders in the Twin Cities, with a
view to securing a creditable repre-
sentation at the land show for East
Chicago and Indiana Harbor.
Dudley Walker, vice president of the
Real Estate Show company which is
managing the enterprise, attended last
nights meeting of the Commercial
club and gave a talk He was most
enthusiastic in his praises of the Calu-
met region, admitted that the Real Es-
tate Show company had made a mis-
take in not visiting this region first
in making its arrangements with the
suburbs. and declared that had he
known what he has learned within the
past few days of the region, that the
Calumet region should never have been
put off until the last, as has been the
case
Il had ne idea of the wonderful pos
sibiilties embraced within this region.
which is undoubtedly the greatest in
dustrial center in the world said Mr..
Walker. Il apologize for my lack of
foresight in not coming here first"
Mr.. Walkers talk was convincing
He showed that 1t would be decidedly
to the advantage of the region to be
represented at the Real Estate Show.
and promised that in spite of the de-
lay in making the arrangements the
Calumet region should be given a
choice space for its exhibit. If pos
sible the annex would be used in it's
entirety, and if that could not be Sc
cured. space would be reserved i'm
mediately adjoining the main entrance.
He declared that the Real Estate
Show would be the means of attract
ing the attention of Chicago men with
capital to invest In a business that this
locality had other things in it besides
smoking chimneys and noisy foundries
That there was a settled community
residing within its borders. and that
there are churches and clubs and good
schools and even society element
here. 1t would serve moreover to at
tract attention to the fact that mort
cages, which are now hard to dispose
of on account of their never having
been brought properly before the A.
nancier and capitalists who have mon
ey to loan, and which fact is hamper
ing the development of the region, are
really gjlt-edged paper. thus greatly
facilitating their disposal.
The Real Estate Show will be made
as attractive as possible and will be
the means of calling attention to the
dicerent prevailing styles of archi-
lecture. Each locality Is liable to rur
largely to one style of architecture
and with prospective builders atten-
ton called to styles which do not pre-
vail in their locality, they will be in
duced to add variety to the appearance
of their town, by adopting something
novel when they come to build.
There will be a complete house put
up life size in the center of the Col
iseum, and surrounding it will bs
| lawns gardens, trees and shrubbery
arranged by a real landscape gardner
! This Is only one of the many attract
| i've features of the show.
L. B. Garden, chairman of the su.
| burban department of the real estate
show company. also spoke, reiteratins
what Mr.. Walker had said and enpha-
sizing some of the strong points.
