PACKAGE CANDY SHOWS LITTLE
CHANGE.

Cox or package candy will show
practically no change in prices. deaf
ers say. This they attribute more IL
the high cost OF bosses. ribbons and
other material used in packing than
TO sugar prices. Little difference IS
shown in this line. the wholesale prices
ranging from 80 ceuts a pound ID ST.
-. The retail price on the same arti-
Gle viii be from 20 cents to $50. ac-
cording to tho grade Of candy and the
package in which IT is contained.
THE candy man is hard hit this
year" said ono Of tho large manufac-
turers. THE goods VIC arc selling to
day are made from materials bought
on the peak prices and most Of US arc
now actually putting out cur goods at
a loss For instance. candy made to-
day is mostly from sugar bought a.
% and so cents round and We are
forced to sell at prices based on from
II TO 2O-ceut sugar in order that the
public may be satisfied This is a
heavy loss to the manufacturer"
From the standpoint 81 the jobbe~
the usual answer was: Yes We are
selling at loss. Aye now havc our
stock for the Christmas trade and (,
was bought at time when sugar
prices were high. We arc helping the
manufacturer and taking loss on
candy. and the retail trade should help
us bear this loss. 'Ore reason for the
high candy price is the refusal Of tn"
retail dealer to bear his proportion
ate loss along with US. He buys at
our loss and sells at profit
RETAILERS DENY PROFITEERING.
From the retailer comes the rcbut-
tai: THAT is not true. IT is all wcii
and good for the jobber and whole
saler to say he is selling q a loss auu
that We are not bearing our propor-
tionate part OF the loss. However. he
does not stop to explain, when show
ing his figures. that the goods he Of
fers at tho big decline Is not on the
market and can not reach the trad,
before after the first of the year The

j. S. HOUSE
SALE ALL
BUT ENDED


The sale OF L. S. government houses
in Hammond has been practically COM
pieted by Frank r. Martin OF Woods
Martin & Co. the sales representative
of the L. s. housing corporation.
The sales now exceed $500 00o.O
and there are only about half dozen
houses left for sale tokether with some
cut lots which were not built on. The
magnitude OF this operation may be
appreciated when 1t is known that IA
renters have been replaced by over 100
owners and that a large subdivision of
houses has completely changed hands
in the brief period OF four months
The measure of the housing demand
in Hammond may also be taken by
roting the fact that the sale Of two
thirds OF a million Of dollars OF houses
has not perceptibly Stacked the de-
mand.
NEW HIGH GRADE DISTRICT
The result has been that where the
Lyndora addition was once referred
to sightingly 1t IS now regarded as
one OF the best residential districts on
the east side. The residents there are
American citizens OF the better class
and the spirit Of nefghborhood i'm
provement IS deeply inculcatcd in the
minds of the new purchasers.
The sale or these houses IS unques-
tionably the largest real estate opera
ton Of the year in Hammond and in
foct the Calumet district. It illus
trates what can be done by rational
sales methods OF the conservative
character.
A policy OF avoiding misrepresenta-
ton has resulted in the best of feeling
between the new purchasers and the
government representatives. That the
houses are really bargains is shown By
the fact that in two cases the pur-
chasers of homes derive sufficient in
come from two rooms to make the
monthly payment to tho government.
MANY FINE INVESTMENTS BoUGHT
The purchasers of the fiat and dup
lex houses not only have kept rentals
aou,n to u reasonable figure. but are
making from 15 to e5 per cent on
their investment as well. = number
II re-~ales have been made At a sub
stantial advance over the original Pur-
ciase price.
The outstanding facts that con
f,fbuted to the success Of the govern
r,ent.s protect in Hammond were as
follows
WISE CITY FLAMING PAYS
During tho period Of construction:
Wise city planning shown in laT-
ing out the subdivision. The sub
stantial character or tho street Inn
rrovements. The practical plans
adopted for the houses to be built.
Covering the sand with black dirt and
the planting OF trees and shrubs
THE conscientious management o.
the whole project BY Arno' Curdes q
Fort wayne by which tho property
vas conserved. the untiring effo~ts OF
Edgar W. Shookran and his wife who
r1anaged and rented the property 60
the best advantage.
During the sale of the property.
THE policy or avoiding saies to
undesirables Simply to make sales. TIE
pclicy of encouraging sales to the
better class Of people.
2-The policy OF securing possession
from tenants. IT was found that the
tenants. desiring to retain possession
o, their houses on the low rental bass
did not encourage purchases and
would not themselves buy. The atti-
tude towards tenants was based on a
recognition OF the prevailing housing
shortage
