The deal was negotiated by Peter
" Meyn of Gostlin, Meyn Co, who
is probably the most clever real estate
dealer in the entire northern part OF
the state.
Meyn learned that the Nickel Plate
railroad wanted the property laying
south of its tracks. each of Oakley av-
enue and north Of Fayette street. for a
freight house and team track purposes.
He first purchased this property from
the Miller Brewing Co. and then traded
it piece for piece for the state street
lot. Only in this way was he able 10
make the deal. At that the stat estreet
lot cost IN the neighborhood of 10000.
The deal will be Of inerest to the
people OF Hammond for the reason that
no less than ten Hammond people have
been after this property
Down at Cleveland. where Mevn had
to go to close the deal. there was a pile
