Why You Should
Invest at
Morris Park Tract

BECAUSE it. is the last close in section
suitable for Hammond and East Chicago homes
where the prices are within reach of wage earn
ers and where the building restrictions are rea-
sonable and where the man who has not cot large
capital may have home.
Morris Park has fine street car service
Two blocks from the Gary line at Columbia and
Slbley street, Three blocks from the State
street line Cat State and Coumbia) Three
blocks from East Chicago line Cat Truman and
Calumet Ave..
East Chicago and Hammond are rapidly
growing together-soon they Will be one mighty
city. Naturally many of the better grade work
men IN East Chicago want to live in pretty see
ton Of Hammond because any medium priced
property right in East Chicago is spoiled by the
smoke, the dirt and gas of the big factories
there On account of its location Morris Park
is free from smoke, dirt and gas. IN ideal spot
for your Home Place"
Morris Park is within walking distance Of
the center of Hammond at corner Of State and
Holman streets. Just nine blocks from the cen
ter. This tract is also within walking distance
of the Standard Steel Car Works and all the
great plants around Hammond. 1t is only three
blocks from the East Chicago line where for five
cents person may get, III few minutes, to any
plant in East Chicago or Indiana Harbor
Columbia Park graded city school right on
the property. The city trustees had the whole
section to pick from. but III their Judgment Nor
rls Park the most centrally located tract In
all of the East and North East Of Hammond and,
hence, they bought an entire block in this tract
and built that splendid school.
Columbia Park lies directly across the
street from this property. The park is becom-
ing more beautiful every year Every year the
city improves it more and more. Surely you viii
admit that it is a fine thing to have your family
enjoy all the privileges Of park, right at the
door. How grand to have place where the chill
dren safely play under the trees amidst the
sweet smelling grasses and flowers. Give Your
family real home-buy at Morris Park.
In order to keep the property III good shape
we sell the lots subject to fair building restrlc
ton You don't have to build but if you do
build YOU must put the house on the back Of the
lot at least 90 feet from the front line or spend
at least $4,000 on it. In other words, the build
ing restriction is $4,000, but we permit small
homes on the back of the lots. We believe later
on the people who build the back Of the lot
will be able to afford larger house on the front
and use the small place part of the new home.
Think of it-all YOU need is s., little mon

moons and evening ana soon YOU nave nome
Perhaps small at first, but the money YOU now
throw away in rent will make that little
home grow into fine big house that your wife
and children will enjoy.
Nothing so worthless as bunch of rent re-
ceipts Stop making the landlord rich. Begin
paying rent to yourself and get some Of the
riches for yourself and family. Remember, all
you need is So and little get thereness' in
