\. NELSON
FARM DEAL
IS CLOSED
46 Acres of Land To be Used
For Street Gar Building
Plant in Near Future

With confirmation and further details
of news regarding Hegewisch indus
trial development printed in THE TIMES
several weeks ago. it also became
known today that death has tempor-
arny blocked an industrial develop
ment for Hammond's south side
Peter w. Meyn whose firm negotiat-
ed the Hegewtsch deal. today stated
that the Ryan Car Manufacturing Com
pany had purchased the 46-acre Niels
Nelson farm one mile west Of the State
Line and bounded on the south by 134th
street. This site Mr.. Ryan said. is in
tended for the steel car department. Of
the Ryan company. and the plant when
completed viii employ from 700 to l.
600 men. The wooden car department
vii lbe retained exclusively in the
present plant AS the South Shore line
viii be retained exclusively in the
plant, it is virtually an industry Of
Hammond Importance. enabling work
ers to live here.
The Hegewisch- -Burnham develop
ment emphasizes the necessity of some
immediate step for better transporta-
ton from Hammond into that territory.
Mr.. Meyn's announcement today that
the Ryan Car Manufacturing Company
had purchased the Nelson site raised
anew the question regarding the car
plant site which w. J. Mcbride, for
merIy general manager Of the Haskell
Barker Car Manufacturing Company
sought. Mr.. Mcbride died in Chicago
last Friday Through the firm of Cost
lin. Meyn & Co. he had virtually OBJ
tanned an option on a mile long site
east Of Columbia avenue and south Of
the present STANDARD steel Car Com
Dany's site He headed a syndicate, it
is understood, which intended to build.
More than six weeks ago he was taken
nl and his physician, DR. Frank Bill
1fngs Of Chicago forbade him all work.
Mr.. Mcbride was considered one of the
best car builders in the country. Leav-
ing the presidency of the American Car
& Foundry Company he joined the Has
ken-Barker people, and when eastern
capital bought It up. he laid plans for
a new plant. Whether anything viii
come Of what he has started remains to
he seen. That there viii be industrial
deyelopment south of Hammond is a
certainty
Through w. u. Kerfoot and Gostlin,
Meyn & Company, the Metals Refining
Company of Osborn. of which william
Nilke. Jr.. is secretary and treasurer.
bought the Krohn estate property of 63
acres. This lies east of the Nelson
farm in the Burnham-Hammond terri
tory. 1t is surmised that eventually
the Metals Refining company viii move
its factory.

Pinned down as to whether there was
any immortality" or anything contrary
to good ethics in such manipulations.
Noble said. NO don't see any as you
put it-seIling some stocks and then sell
ing more as they decline"

HATS

The hat is an ingenious con-
traption invented by man to
give the top of his head some
thing to do and by women to
show the bottom of a mans
pocketbook.
But its usefulness doesn't stop
there. A man can get a lot of
fun out of his hat if he just
knows how, women can without
knowing how.
Some men have reduced their
hats TO a science. They make
them pastime, exercise and en-
ployment. They take them out
windy days and chase them. Or
mix them up at restaurants
and fight about them with
strangers. And when they have
nothing else to do they use
them to talk through.
The hat is what some men al
ways pass and no woman ever
does.
