BE LOYAL TO YOUR DISTRICT.

The magnificent advertising given
the great Calumet region in one way
and another is bearing the richest
fruit imaginable. To go over the tax
duplicate of Lake county and note
the amazing number of non-residents
who have acquired real estate and
tangible property in Lake county is
extremely interesting.
Outside capital is investing in
the Calumet region by the hundreds
of thousands of dollars. Outside
capital in many instances has more
faith in Lake county than have some
Lake county people themselves.
Many people In this district are
buying farm lands, homesteads,
Florida lots, Michigan tracts, Okla
homa boom lots and various other
cheap stuff In all parts of the country
when they have gold mine at home.
This Is being done to a surprising
amount and does not reflect uny
credit at all on those who are in
vesting their money abroad. If the
outside investor is attracted to this
region because of its magnificent
promise, how much more should the
residents here leave their money in

the region. They have ample op-
portunity to turn it over. There are
good things galore in Lake county.
The other day the manager of Chi
cago's most famous restaurant while
in this office with a party of friends
expressed his fullest confidence in
the Calumet region. He had already
invested heavily. He was here to in
vest more and to influence the mem
bers of his party TO invest more. The
stand together and build it up.

chased forty lots from the Gary
Land company upon which it will
erect as many bungalows. Terms OF
its contract with the land company
permit of no other alternative but
of building so this move is the best
indication of good faith.
The interurban men backing the
new proposition should receive
every encouragement possible. Lake
county needs more concerns like the
Steel City Home Building company.

A WELCOME CONCERN.

The advent of the Steel City Home
Building company into Lake and
Porter county building circles is
warmly welcomed. This company
which has for its parent Maine
corporation includes among its stock
holders most of the shareowners of
the Gary and Interurban railway,
the New York-Chicago air line and
allied traction properties.
This company announces that it
will build homes to be sold on tile
easy payment plan along the air line
route between Hammond and La
Porte. A new town, Garydon, is pro-
jected and it will rise just east of
East Gary.
That the company means business
