APEX IN
FINE NEW
QUARTERS

The Apex Home Appliance Company
Will have their grand opening tomorrow
in the new building, roo South Holman
St. one door north OF the old location.
The growth of the Apex Appliance
Company under the mana cement Of
John Forstrum during It's three years
existence in Hammond seems almost
mythical when told in figures. but when
the names of over eight hundred peo-
pie. purchasers Of Apex washers during
the last three years appear in a pa ge
ad carried in The Times today, 1t prov
es conclusively Forstrum has something
evidently in demand ard he is losing
no time in meeting that demand.
Where the Apex company formerly
sold few machines month they now
sell IS high as a car load a month. as
remarkable as this may seem.
Finding the old location too small for
the purpose the Apex company sought
larger and more commodious quarters
The new building will accommodate a
carload of washers. but besides the
Apex washers. viii be displayed many
other well known household appliances
such al the Apex vacuum sweepers. the
Eureka sweepers. ironing machines
electric irons. toasters. and other cleo
trical goods.
Mr. F'orstrum is preparing for big
day at his store tomorrow when he eN-
poets to demonstrate the utility and
labor saving features of the Apex ap-
pnances. The women are especially in
vited for Saturday.

troll of the Irish people for the first
time in centuries. Though political
views of the Irish people differ. there
Is general rejoicing over the newly

Day messages to the American people
from leaders representing all shades
Of public opinion.
Michael Collins. minister of finance
IN the Irish provisional government:
This year finds Ireland shaking off
the stran nglehold OF English donlina-
tion. Hitherto our work was to shake
OF Englands grip. Now our work is
to build up the irish nation. We take
up the work with the same zest We
had In the former task. 1t is not less
noble nor ardurous. The Irish people
express TO their friends and kinsmen
in the United States appreciation for
their generous assistance In the past.
The friendship between the two coun-
tries viii continue. Ireland assures
the American people that their faith in
her VIII be justified.
Arthur Griffith. president OF the dali
eireann and founder Of the Sim Fem;
Hitherto the national feast day each
succeeding year found Ireland sinking
further into ruin. This year there are
signs everywhere of the substantial
freedom which Ireland gains under the
peace treaty. Henceforth Ireland's
destiny is in the hands Of the Irish
people who are determined to undo the
ruin that has heen wrought. and build
up a free and prosperous ireland that
our friends in the United states may
look upon with pride. We are happy
10 express our appreciation to the
American people OF their support Coz
which We never despaircd) and on st.
Patrfcks Day 1929 the hopes Of the
American people are beginning 70 be
realized"
Countess Markiebicz supporter Of
Eamonn DeValera in his fight against
the Irish treaty:
st Patricks Day this year finds
Ireland facing q situation that will
tax every nerve and fibre OF those loyal
TO the republic. An organized army Of
Irish women have pledged their 10y
atty to the republic they love. "
