He began in 1918 with a sixteen

$1,000 of borrowed capital.
The road to fortune on Calumet
avenue is smooth and easy" said
Jerry. Last year I sold eighty
eight cars and so far this ear I
have sold t~wenty-four cars. This
morning 1 sold two cars before 10
o'clock. I think Calumet avenue is
going to be the most important
business thoroughfare in northern
Indiana"
There will always be three and
possibly -four good business streets
in Hammond said George A~ustgen.
Holman street and State street are
old and established business centers
and Calumet avenue is forging ahead.
But, don't forget Columbia avenue.
Remember they are going to have a
hundred foot street and wide streets
ount for a great deal in these days
of automobiles.
1T isn't the transient automobile
trade that counts. but the local
trade that comes by automobile. So
many people drive to the downtown
district to shop that the width of
the street Is very important. I wish

the emu because 1t would upset
their plans for a modern motor bus
tine. There is a growing feeling on
the avenue that the street car is
becoming a%ntiquated and that the
newer and more popular means of
urban transportation is the motor
bus such as that which serves the
north shore of Chicago.
It may not be long before there
will be such a bus line on Calumet
avenue.
Nothing is impossible for Calumet
avenue in view of the things that
have been accomplished in tho past
ten years.
Property is becoming so valuable
on the Street of Miracles that the
school board is planning to move tax
Lafayette school back onto Sibley
street. and dispose OF the Calumet
venue frontage for business. The
property will not have to be offer
ed for sale a second time, say the
Calumet avenu boosters.
Much of the progress of the avenue
Is due TO the East Side Improvement
Association and the general spirit of
cooperation on the street.
The East Side Improvement AS
ISOLATION is one Of the livest civic
bodies in the region. Another Cal
urnet Improvement association is
being promoted for the vast district
south of Conkey avenue to and in
Guiding the Ridge road.
Calumet avenue, the district from
Standard venue south will be built
solid with residences and the Ridge
road will become an outlying boule-
/ ward.
