SILLY.

We had never known of family reunion
doing anything but compare the youngest twins
with the oldest grandpap in the bunch. and de-
eide they had his chin, but they got their eyes
from the other side of the house.
But here is a report from Massachusetts,.
where the Read Reed and Reid families have
just been converting. They, presumably, ad-
mired Aunt Sally's angel cake and heard how
Wids oldest boy was doing out in California.
Then, things being dull. they decided to pass
some resolutions. Here's one they voted for:
That a national act be passed by congress
making it unlawful for any person TO assume
the family surname of any one of colonial, bevo-
lutionary or historical fame That for the pro-
lection of such names, and to avoid confusion
mistakes or fraud to the postcrity the organiza-
ton seek to prevent foreigners from taking any
colonial or American names which have been
made prominent.
There's family pride for you'll But how
could we ever enforce such laws as that? Pro-
hibitions limits certainly ought not to extend
to proper names. After all, the best thing at
family reunions is usually the dinner.

Completion of the second unit of the home
of the Edward c. Minas Co., in 1905 gave Ham
mond its first real department store and started
the firm on a new era of unfettered develop
ment.
1t was the ambition of Mr. Mnas and his
associated that it should be department store
not only in name but in fact. 1t was not to be
merely general store in which a little of every
thing and not much of anything was carried. 1t
must be department store in every sense of
the word. Each section was to be the equiva-
lent of complete single line store.
1t no little task planning the layout of
the big institution, alotng the proper amount
of space to each department and at the same
time preserving certain relation between de-
partments to facilitate shopping. 1t was essen
tial that a crowded. cluttered appearance be
avoided and that there be plenty of room and
light for properly displaying the merchandise
and aiding customers in making selections.
1t was something new to people of the Calumet
region. this department store idea. But they
quick to show their appreciation for the
service rendered. The business grew by leaps
and bounds. The store was drawing patrons
from miles away.
To the present day observer this growth in
business seems little short of miraculous. Con-
slider that the street line served only Ham
mond. East Chicago and Whiting. The Indiana
Harbor extension had not been built. The
South Shore and Gary & Interurban electric line
did not into existence until seven years
later. Automobiles were luxuries to be owned
by the very wealthy. Motor bus lines were not
dreamed Of
Under the pressure of growing patronage
it was not strange that within a few years the
need for more space became imperative. Mr..
Minas began preparing for the next phase of
his stores development.
Ten years ago construction started
the second addition to the store building. This
time the firm acquired seventy-five feet to the
east of the original fifty foot site The sec
ton was uniform with the rest of the building
and when completed the department store pre-
sented IT'S feet of unbroken artistic frontage
The most modern of equipment in fixtures,
fire protection ventilation and communication
was furnished throughout the building. In order
to carry out the plans much of the old equip
ment was Junked.
The Lake County times. [volume] (Hammond, Ind.) 1906-1933, 1922-11-15

Progress did not stop there. New ideas
which would speed up service or add to comfort
or convenience have been tried out from time to
time and, if found practicable, have been made
permanent features, keeping the department
store strictly up to date.
Even with the latest addition to the build
ing, the succeeding ten years have found the
store with none too much ROOM Hammond and
the surrounding territory have grown rapidly
and each year it has been found necessary to
carry still larger stocks to meet the demands
of a diversified patronage
Consider the cable cash carrier system
The buying public scarcely gives it a second
thought now. The novelty wore off long ago.
Yet that was tremendous step forward. This
silent, efficient mechanical device links every
member of the sales force with the cashiers Of
flee. It does with speed and certainty the work
of scores of cash girls" and there is none of the
noise and confusion. 1t is an expensive sys-
TEN to maintain and operate but it aids the store
in giving better service.
Comfort and convenience of patrons were
in the mind of Mr.. Minas when he provided the
ladies' rest room on the mezzanine floor and the
two electric passenger elevators.
When at last the new section of the store
was completed, the departments re-arranged and
the new stocks added grand opening celebra-
ton held. Nothing like it has been seen
in Hammond before or since. On the evening
of October IA, 1913. the Edward c. Minas Co.,
invited the public in to look the place over Peo-
pie came from miles. The great store was
crowded with admiring and well-wishing visit
ors. All business was suspended.
Two orchestras furnished music. Judge v.
S. Reter, then president of the Hammond
Chamber of Commerce, delivered an address an
nouncing the formal opening. He reviewed the
growth of this great business enterprise, charac-
terzing it as nothing short of marvellous
From that time the Edward c. Minas Co.,
store became one of the show places of the city
Hammond people take pride in it because they
realize it is civic asset Visitors are attracted
instantly by the beautiful but simple and dig
nifed front Of the building and they are still
more favorable impressed after becoming ac-
quanted with the business which it houses
About year ago the grocery department
was discontinued in order to provide more
space for the furniture department. This line
alone now occupies the entire $4,000 square
feet of space of the third floor. 1t is without
doubt the largest and most complete furniture
display in the country.
