withhim and they remained intensely
interested during the four acts of his
wonderful character drama Lincoln"
The play deals with life in the White

true to Lincoln. and people were made
TO appreciate more than ever the wit
good humor, the unselfsh patriotism

position and the burdens he carried
during his presidency. Mr.. Chaplin act
ed with such dignity and showed sucn

best that has ever been given in HAM

The audience showed its appreciation
last evening in frequent outbursts of

ness conditions are much better than
they were and that the outlook is
bright
While some of our Industries are
not doing much at the present time.
there are other things that make up
for it. For instance, we have
large trade from the country. The
farmers have lots of money this year
and they are coming 10 Hammond
TO spend it," said one today.
The Gary & Interurban line is
doing wonders for We have the
data to show that we average %
customers a day who come in from
Gary and ToIleston to make pur-
chases in our stores"
Then the smaller industries OF
the city have been doing well, and
the men who arc employed in them
are prosperous. | believe that the
Christmas trade will be bigger than
ever this year and we will make
preparations accordingly"
