work and has adjourned. Majority

Induce Industries to Lo-
cate East of Columbia.

Gostlin. Meyn & Co. have just COM
pleted plans for a new industrial Sec
ton which is 10 be devoted to small
industries. They have had a survey
made Of the property and find that 1t
is ideally adapted to the purposes for
which it Is intended.
The property lies east of Columbia
avenue, south OF the Indiana Harbor
Belt railroad hump yards and west of
Gibson. The property has the best Of
railroad facilities.
The effect of the development of this
new manufacturing district will be to
build up the eastern portion of Ham
mond. 1t will make Calumet avenue
the center OF the city, SO far as popu-
lation is concerned.
1t is believed that this accounts for
the activity of the members of this
firm in picking up State street and
Calumet avenue property. The COM
pany already has a number of small
industries that are looking for loca-
tions on this property.
The Indiana Harbor Belt railroad has
decided to do all it can to develop this
particular property for industrial pur-
poses and will soon commence the con-
struction of a switching and factory
service track along the whole strip.
The Hammond real estate men will
be able to offer attractive manufactur-
ing sites at a price low that it
will eliminate all other competition.
Hammond is catering to the small in
dustries which have been its backbone
in the past.
