How Would You Like to
Have an Absolute Cinch
on a Job no Matter What
the People Thought of
You.

Attorney Jacob Katz of West Ham,
mond is certain of election to the office
of city attorney. 1t makes no differ
ence with Katz whether he gets one
vote or 1000 he will be elected any
way.
Katz can tell the people OF West
Hammond to take good long cool
jump into the lake for all he cares for
he will be city attorney in spite of all
they can do for or against him.
Katz has the job cinehed. Just SO
he keeps out of the penitentiary and
retains his health the people of West
Hammond can't help but elect him.
The reason for this is that he is the
only resident attorney in the entire
city. 1t is a strange situation which
makes Katz the ony attorney in the
city and he is going to take advant-
age of it.
So the people of West Hammond have
got to be for Katz whether they wan;
to be or not. The only way they car
beat him is to import an attorney fol
the purpose and then he woud have to
live there long enough to qualify.
West Hammond has in the neighbor-
hood Of 5000 Inhabitants and abou,
1000 votes. Yet it has only one
lawyer. There was another but he
left town.

SALE IS A

Three women came all of the way
from Three Oaks. iMch., to be present
at the mill end sale at the Lion store.
This is an annual trip for them. and
it indicates the wide territory covered
by this store in its appeal to the bar
gain-hunter.
/. There are large numbers of people
in Hammond every day from Crown
Point. Lowell, Hobart. Gary, ast Chi
cago. Indiana Harbor, Whiting and
scores of other places in the vicinity of
Hammond.
The people seem to nave more mon
ey than ever before" said Karl Kauf-
mann of the firm of Kaufman & Wolf.
''and they are spending it freely. 1t is
a fact that each succeeding sale sees
larger amount of gross sales than
the sale which preceded 1T.
We never did better than we are
doing at this sale. We are receiving
new consignments of merchandise ev-
cry day to replenish our stocks. We
expect to dispose OF tremendous lot
of goods in the ten days of the sale"
The sale commenced last Tuesday
morning and will continue until a
week from Saturday night. 1t will run
over a period OF eleven days altogether
and will be the most remarkable sale
that this region has ever known.
The store is crowded with people all
the TIME. and the country districts are
pouring their populations into the city
for the feast of bargaining.
