INTRODUCTION

SOUTH BEND INVITES THE WORLD

THE people of South Bend extend their greetings to every person everywhere and invite
you to visit this city during 1923 which is to be a notable year in the middle west. It

marks the One Hundredth Anniversity of Indiana's greatest Manufacturing City, — one
of the oldest in the state. South Bend is One Hundred Years old and is preparing to celebrate
the centennial of its founding.

One hundred years ago a fur trading post established on the site of what is now South
Bend gave no promise of the large industrial and commercial city that was to grow up and
attain world wide renown for the variety and excellence of its manufactured products. The
sturdy fur traders of that period a century back could not have visioned what 100 years were
to produce on the banks of the St. Joseph river, one of the world's most picturesque streams.
If they knew that the beautiful river began its shimmering journey up in Michigan and then
made a bold and graceful bend to the south, they did not dream that this long beautiful bend
would give its name to a city destined to be known long before 100 years had passed in every
quarter of the globe.

From a tiny fur trading post, where the interchange of commodities meant a modest
sum, to a world known industrial and commercial city sending millions of dollars worth of
its high quality products into every civilized country is a far cry, and yet in less than 100
years South Bend has accomplished all that and much more. It has built enormous industrial
plants, some of the greatest of their kind in the world; it has created vigorous mercantile estab-
lishments that serve hundreds of thousands of people in the fertile and picturesque St. Joseph
valley; it has erected fine educational institutions; it has built beautiful and successful re-
ligious establishments; it has created and created and created until today South Bend, with
close to 100,000 population stands out among world cities as a scintillating star destined to
grow bigger and brighter as the years pass on.

And so with this fine record to its credit South Bend invites the world to come and help
it celebrate 100 years of growth and prosperity and happiness. The date of the celebration
has not been fixed. It is too early to select the date because the form the celebration will
take has not been decided. But whatever the form the promise can be made that the cele-
bration will be in keeping with the event and with South Bend's known abiUty to do things
as proven by its very successful home-coming in October, 1909, and its observance in October,
1916, of the centennial of Indiana's admission to statehood.

That South Bend ought to observe the centennial of its founding was suggested many
months ago by The South Bend Tribune. The suggestion met with approval of the South Bend
Chamber of Commerce, which, through its committee on public affairs, voted that such a
celebration be held. This committee was composed of Walter M. Hildebrand, chairman;
A. Frank Eby, Frank J. Green, Col. C. Seymour Bullock and F. A. Miller. Later this com-
mittee, charged with the duty of appointing a director general to act as the official and directing
head of the centennial, selected George B. Beitner. Still later the Chamber of Commerce
gave its official sanction to what its committee had done.

Mr. Beitner is a native of South Bend and most of his life has been spent in the city.
Betired from active business he is in a position to devote most of his time to the tremendous
undertaking. Acquainted with the history of this section he is equipped to suggest satisfac-
tory features that will be appropriate to the occasion. Deeply concerned in the city and its
future he has the inspiring interest which leads to big things. Having been connected with
previous celebrations of note he has the experience so essential to the creation of a successful
event. Given a wide circle of friends and acquaintances among all types of business people
he has a vast throng from which to select men and women of ability to aid in carrying out the
momentous project.

South Bend invites the world to come to its 100th anniversary party, and its invitation
is as cordial as it is pressing.

SOUTH BEND— ITS CITY GOVERNMENT

TRADITION has it that the land on which
South Bend is built first received the im-
print of the feet of white men when
Father James Marquette, a Jesuit Mis-
sionary, crossed the
divide from the Kan-
kakee to the St. Jos-
eph River in 1675.

Authentic history
records that the ex-
plorer LaSalle voyag-
ed from Lake Michi-
gan up the St. Joseph
River and landed at
the present site of
South Bend in 1679.

But more than a
century passed be-
fore any permanent
settlement followed.
First came Pierre Na-
varre, who with his
Indian wife, built an
Indian trading post
near Navarre Place
in 1820. Alexis Coq-
uillard, of French de-
scent, an agent of
the American Fur
Company, establish-
ed a post here in 1823.
Col. L. M. Taylor the
first Anglo-Saxon
came from Fort
Wayne in 1827. Fol-
lowing in their foot-
steps came a great
stream of humanity,
hunting homes and fortunes, spreading out
over the basins of the Great lakes and
the Mississippi, and laying the foundations of
the great cities that now mark the map of the
Northwest territory. This little trading post
with a population of 128 persons in 1831,
was a gateway through which flowed the mer-

WIN

chandise and tools necessary for the develop-
ment of the middlewest, and back through
which ebbed the products of the forest and
land to the markets of the East.

, Until 1850 the

principle industries of
South Bend consisted
in trading and the
manufacture and sale
of flour. After 1850,
with the construction
of its first rail-
road, the community
developed into a man-
ufacturing center of
great importance;
from 1850 to 1870
there were started the
businesses of the
Studebaker Bro-
thers Manufacturing
Company, Coquillard
Wagon Works, South
Bend Iron Company,
afterwards the Oliver
Chilled Plow Works,
the Birdsell Manu-
facturing Company,
and other important
industries. From this
beginning South
Bend took form as
a great manufactur-
ing and industrial
city and its popula-
tion has grown by
leaps and bounds. In
1860 it consisted of
3832 souls and in
the six decades since then has increased in
population on an average of 64% each decade
until in the year 1920 it had a population of
70,983 and at the present time it has 87,137
persons based upon the last school census.

The City of South Bend was incorporated on
May 22nd, 1865 when Hon. W. G. George

became its first Mayor. The municipal city
has grown in importance until it has become a
city of the second class in the State of Indiana
and is fourth in size among Indiana cities. The
city has an area of over ten thousand acres and
occupies about sixteen square miles. It owns
and operates its own municipal water works
which property has a value of approximately
$1,900,000.00. The City owns twelve parks
and has a total park acreage of 360 which pro-
perty is valued at almost $700,000.00, The to-
tal length of streets and avenues in the City is
approximately 235 miles of which 104K miles
are paved. Sewers haA^e been laid in the streets
of the City in the total of 125 miles. Water
mains total 160 miles. The City owns and
operates nine fire stations and hose houses.
The entire Fire Department of the City is
motorized and modern in every respect. The

value of all the property owned by the City
exceeds $3,500,000.00 The bonded indebted-
ness in $1,532,500.00 and all indebtedness both
funded and unfunded is $1,612,500.00 In 1912
the net value of taxable property in the City
was $131,118,360.00 and the total tax rate on
all property for State, County, School, Town-
ship and City purposes is $2.58 per $100.

During the recent depression of business,
South Bend was the most prosperous City in the
United States. The City has always been noted
for the stability of its industries. Its ideal
location on the greatest railroad in the world
and on other great railroads, its situation close
to all the markets for raw materials, and its
place at the center of distribution in the United
States insure for the City a marvelous growth
in the future. A truly great period of expan-
sion lies before the City, and to meet this
the municipal government will be confronted
with many diiiicult problems. Among the
most important works to be undertaken by

the City in the next few years will be the build-
ing of new water pumping stations, new fire
stations, new schools, a new City Building, new
fire and police alarm systems, the elevation of
the tracks of the New York Central Railway,
the removal of the Grand Trunk Western Rail-
way from Division Street, the building of the
boulevard paralleling the St. Joseph River,
the development of park lands and City Plan-
ning.

South Bend is committed to a progressive
policy of meeting all the situations demanded
of a City great in industry.

However the City Government of South
Bend is concerned not alone with material
growth and expansion, but with making it an
outstanding City in caring for the moral and
physical health of its people. It has as one
of its ideals the building up of one of the best
police departments in the United States, it
is determined to drive from this community
all law defying elements, and to free life and
property from the blight of crime which is
destroying the social health and progress of so
many American cities. It maintains an aggres-
sive health department bent on keeping it free
of contagion, and in the front rank in health

SOUTH BEND SCHOOLS

IT HAS been said that a community rises
no higher than the level of its discovered
and trained intelligence. The public schools
enable a community to discover and train
her intellectual possi-
bilities without which
training modern in-
dustry and social in-
tercourse would be
impossible.

A public school
system unexcelled
anywhere in the state
supplemented by the
usual run of parochial
schools for a city of
this size and the Uni-
versity of Notre Dame
and St. Mary's Ac-
ademy constitutes the
educational equip-
ment of South Bend,
making it a center of
learning as well as of
industry.

A liberal appropri-
ation of money wisely
spent on her schools
returns to the city
many fold the origi-
nal expenditure by
making the city a
desirable place to live,
and by raisitag the
standard of her intel-
ligence expended in
her industrial pur-
suits.

A building program covering several years
is bringing to the city school, buildings of the
most modern approved type. This is nec-
essary to accommodate the rapidly increasing
number of children pouring into our city,
and also to give the type of training that the
present industrial and social civilation requires.

There are twenty-one school centers in

the city: One senior High School; three
intermediate or Junior High schools; and
seventeen grade schools. Three of these
buildings are of recent construction, another
one under construc-
tion at the present
time, and other build-
ings under construc-
tion.

The teaching staflF
numbers four hund-
red fifty. Teachers
are required to have
at least two years'
training above the
High School to teach
grade work, three
years' training to
teach Junior High
and a full college
comse for senior
High School teach-
ing. Courses of study
are planned with ut-
most caie. The best
materials and equip-
ment are provided.

Besides the acade-
mic training in the
basal subjects which
the school authorities
regard as important,
the child has a wide
range of special train-
ing which he may
have under the direc-
tion of special depart-
ments the Voca-

will bear most creditable comparison with
similar products manufactured by any com-
mercial business whether it be a cedar chest
or a high speed cutting tool made in the ma-
chine shop of the school.

The work of the Art department is well
correlated and directed along educational lines.
The South Bend High School excelled in
costume designing at the exhibit of the West-
ern Art Association held in Cincinnati, 1921.

Household Arts is given to all girls from the
fifth grade up. Miss Cora Winchell, Teacher's
College at Columbia University, said on a
recent inspection trip to the city, that the
equipment of the Household Arts department
of the School City is the best and shows the
most marked progress of any she has ever
inspected.

The music department offers to the pupils
in the South Bend Pubhc Schools today many
opportunities which were not offered a few
years ago. In all the grades are conducted
regular classes in sight and chorus singing,
music appreciation and an opportunity is
given to form orchestras, and to study an
orchestral at small cost. In the High and
Junior High schools are added the band, glee
clubs, harmony and, credit for applied music.

The recreational department in conjunc-
tion with teachers and school officials is doing
much in removing the stain of illiteracy from
our city. "South Bend is doing more to solve
the illiteracy problem than any other city
in Indiana," is the statement of H.G.McComb,
Assistant Director of the State Department.
The department is giving careful thought and
effort in fostering and directing the play life
of the city. Nine playgrounds with equip-
ment are maintained. A well qualified corps
of physical instructors and nurses are doing
much to raise the standard of health and to
inculcate right habits of living.

The High School and the three Junior
High schools offer an unusual opportunity
to upper grade pupils. Special attention is
given to individual needs of pupils and thus
helps fit them for the work they can best do.

Frequent recognition of high grade efficiency
of the Board of Education, administrative
heads as well as the teaching staff have come
from within and without the city.

The School City of South Bend, has a
splendid spirit of cooperation within the
system itself and with the home and business
life of our great city.

UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME

THE spot now occupied by the University condition — that a college be in operation with-

of Notre Dame is, apart from the natmal in two years. Before the expiration of the

endowments of the land, peculiarly alloted time a modest brick building had

proper as a site for a Catholic university, been erected and students were being taught at

Notre Dame. By spec-
ial act of the Legis-
lature of Indiana, the
University was char-
tered on January 15,
1 844, and empowered
to grant degrees in
the liberal arts
sciences, law and
medicine.

The first faculty
organized was that
of the College of Arts
and Letters. A few
years later a school
of theology was es-
tablished, largely as
an emergency meas-
ure to meet the needs
of the Church in the
Middle-West. Later
as the need passed,
this school was ab-
andoned. Since the
year 1850. when the
number of the stu-
dents was sixty-nine,
the growth of the
University has been
very marked. It now
consists of five col-
leges: Arts and Let-
ters, Science, Law,
Engineering and
Commerce, each with its several departments.
There are twenty buildings devoted exclusively
to university work and the number of students,
limited by lack of accommodations, approaches
dred dollars and only ten acres of the land two thousand. The faculties of the various
was cleared. Still the offer was accepted, colleges are made up both of laymen and
under what then appeared to be an impossible members of the Congregation of Holy Cross.

Many genera-
tions before the es-
tablishment of the
University its pre-
sent location was
known as a center of
missionary activi-
ties in what are
now the states of
Indiana. Michigan,
and Illinois. The
stories and traditions
of Marquette. Allouez,
Hennepin and

Tonty, and LaSalle
are even yet a part
of the student's heri-
tage. The little log
chapel on the banks
of St. Mary's lake
tends to keep alive
these traditions.

The coming of the
founder of Notre
Dame, the Very Rev-
erend Edward Sorin,
C. S. C. in 1842. was
a climax to the suc-
cession of brilliant
accomplishments and
heroic sacrifices, that
take us back to the
middle of the seven-
teenth century.

The land now
graced by the Uni-
versity buildings was

deeded to the founder and his associates by
the Right Reverend Celestine de La Hail-
andiere, Bishop of Vincennes. The total
capital of the new community was four hun-

It is the hope of those interested in Notre
Dame that plans which are now under way
will make possible a still greater development
of the university, both in the widening of its
academic activities and in its material growth.
The traditional policy of the institution has
been to keep moving forward. Its progress
to the present has been made without the
assistance of financial endowment and in the
face of trying difficulties. It has experienced
more than its share of the trials usual to a
growing college — fires, epidemics, and finan-
cial crises — trials which more than once

seemed to mean final failure, but which
in reality served only to strengthen the de-
votion of those who had its success at heart.

The growth and success of Notre Dame
has indeed been phenominal. The splendid
spirit of co-operation between the University
and the neighboring city of South Bend
has done much to bring out this success and
give Notre Dame the high rank it now holds
among the educational institutions of America.
"Our City" and "Our School", have become by-
words at Notre Dame and in South Bend.

St. Mary's College and Academy

LOCATED on the Dixie Highway two miles north of the progressive
and prosperous city of South Bend and one mile Avest of the wide-
ly-known University of Notre Dame, on the banks of the beauti-
ful Saint Joseph River, is St. Mary's College and Academy, established
and conducted by the Sisters of the Holy Cross. Wliile easily acces-
sible, St. Mary's enjoys remoteness and the advantages of a delightful
seclusion ; in environment, in home comforts, and in educational facil-
ities, this institution is unsurpassed. Its extensive campus, lake, librar-
ies, chemical, physical, botanical, and domestic-science laboratories,
classrooms, dormitories, and private rooms offer every possible oppor-
tunity for educational development and social life.

The right school for the young woman is that which, combining
the best intellectual and physical education, teaches theoretically and
practically, by precept and by example, and by all the manifold influ-
ences which make the right growth, that "the finest of the arts is the
art of living and the highest of the sciences is the science of con-
duct." St. Mary's is such a school; its ideal of education is a combi-
nation of the highest along lines both intellectual and moral. It aims
to secure broadness without a sacrifice of depth, to give a large out-
look, and at the same time, a sure grasp of the external verities. The
ends may not always be reached, it is true, but a high aim ennobles
every human effort, and today, in its sixty-seventh year, St. Mary's
holds the enviable reputation of having trained and educated young
ladies of both continents who have now taken their places as influ-
ential leaders in education and in society.

The story of the growth of St. Mary's from humble beginnings to
the notable position which it holds has all the vital himian interest of
a novel based on truth. It combines the force of fact with the appeal
of romance. And now at the summit of success, St. Mary's stands for
principles of education and of womanhood to which one turns as to an
ideal.

SOUTH BEND — WORLD FAMED

By Frank J. Green,

Manager, South Bend Chamber of Commerce.

SOUTH BEND, the world over, is famed for
the products of its industries, and is known
as a desirable place in which to live and do
business. The unimpeachable quality of its
diversified manufactured products and its sterling
integrity throughout the years have made it
possible to achieve the important place it now
occupies among the cities of the world.

The city of South Bend derived its name from
the south bend in the St. Joseph river which,
flowing in a southwesterly direction from Mich-
igan, bends abruptly and, turning north, empties
into Lake Michigan. The early days of South
Bend differ little from those of other cities of
the west which have risen to important places in
the nation's affairs.

The first white pioneer settler of this region
Pierre F. NaVarre, a Frenchman, established
a trading post for the American Fur Company,
in 1820, and it was he who built the first habita-
tion for a white man on the land which is now
known as South Bend; however, it was in 1823
that Alexis Coquillard, a native of Detroit,
settled here with the intention of making it his
permanent home and it is from this date that
South Bend counts its history. Originally, what
is now South Bend was known as South Hold,
but this was changed to South Bend by Coquil-
lard in 1828. South Bend and the surrounding
territory was the hunting grounds of the Potow-

Cabin Erecled By Pinrre F. N

atomic Indians and they were the sole inhabitants
in this region prior to 1820.
Steady Growth

Throughout its history of one hundred years
is not to be found other than a record of steady
progressiveness. South Bend never has been a
"boom" city but rather one of substantial growth
builded on a foundation of integiity and achieve-
ment. Today, in the farflung corners of the
world, its products have gained market and to
the city has come fame for those useful things
which its enterprising manufacturers have made.

During the period, 1850 to 1865, the call for
manufactured products was heard and what had
been a trading post slowly, but ever surely
began to develop the nucleus of the diversified
industries which has made for South Bend a
national reputation. Today it is the merchan-
dising center for a great area, comprising Northern
Indiana and Southern Michigan. South Bend
lies in a fruit belt and is the largest mint pro-
ducing section in the world.

Wherever one looks, growth, development and
improvement are apparent; and though it is still
too soon to estimate without prejudice, the pro-
gress which will result from the present expansion
here, the spirit of development and power mani-
fested in every detail of the city's life makes for
optomistic prophecies as to its future. Without
any exaggeration or strain of probability, it may
safely be said that but few cities of America
possess a brighter outlook, and that "South Bend
World Famed," will never become less than it
is today.

Since January, 1920, South Bend has grown
in excess of 12,000 population and our popula-
tion now is 87,137 plus. We have no labor
troubles in South Bend for this city is peopled
largely by home owning folks.

The following figiu'es show the growth of the
city since 1850 to the census figures of 1920:

of steady and increasing advancement in every

direction. In size, in wealth, and in industry,
the city has grown with a rapidity and regularity
that is little short of marvelous. The growth
is attributed in a large part to the industries of
the city.

South Bend Industries

Over five hundred different commodities are
manufactured in South Bend's more than two
hundred industrial establishments. The capital
mvested is more than §100,000,000. It is the
home of the world's lai-gest six cylinder auto-
mobile works and its plows, sewing machines,
watches, lathes, paints, faim vehicles and im-
plements, find a ready market throughout the
universe. The value of its manufactured pro-
ducts last year was $75,180,000.

South Bend is largely a home owning city and
to this, together with the fairness of its business
leaders, is due the fine spirit that pervades its
working people. Labor troubles are unknown,
for the most part, and here we fmd today a pop-
ulation of over 87,000 persons constructively
living and working together to the end that there
shall rise a great city of the future.

South Bend has not only developed industrial
and commercial enterprises but has also given
earnest thought and effort to the making of a
lily in which men might live happily. Located,
as i have said, on the St. Joseph River, its altitude
is seven hundred and twenty-two feet above sea
level and its natural environment makes for a
pleasing city. Its playgrounds and paiks, t wenty-
ninein number, under the direction of a Municipal
Recreation Committee and Full Time Director,
have just recently been added to by the generous
gift of one hundred and twenty acres made by
Albert Russel Erskine, President of the Stude-
baker Corporation of America. In Potowatomi
Park we have a free municipal automobile
camp in which the tourists can obtain free stoves.

SOUTH BEND BANKS

SOUTH BEND now has three National
banks and thirteen state banks and trust
companies under slate supervision. The
combined capital of the 16 banks is $3,400,000.
Combined surplus .§1,871,000. Total deposits
over S26,000.000, including about $12,000,000
savings deposits. Total resom-ces $34,620,000.

THE CLEARING HOUSE

The South Bend Clearing House Association
was organized in 1903 with the First National
Bank, Citizens National Bank, South Bend
National Bank, Merchants National Bank, St.
Joseph County Savings Bank and American
Trust Co. as members. Its first officers were:
Jacob Woolverton, President; C. L. Zigler, Vice-
President; E. H. Miller, Secretary and Myron
Campbell, Manager. These have continued
without change till the present time with the
exception that Norman Bleuler succeeded Mr.
Campbell as Manager. The Citizens Trust &
Savings Bank, the St. Joseph Loan & Trust
Co., the Union Trust Co., and the Farmers
Trust Co. were admitted to membership at a
later date. Clearings are effected every fore-
noon at the Citizens National Bank, the pres-
ent headquarters of the Clearing House. The
main function of the Clearing House is to facil-
itate the exchange of checks between member
banks. During the panic of 1907 the Associa-
tion issued emergency currency to the amount
of $100,000, backed by gilt-edged commercial
paper deposited in trust. This was used only
locally and was accepted without question by
everyone, thus demonstrating the confidence
which the people of South Bend had in their
financial institutions — a confidence which has
never been betrayed. This emergency currency
was retired within the year.

As showing the growth of business in South
Bend, the following record of clearings is in-
teresting:

1906 $22,700,000

1907. 25,200,000

1908 21,100,000

1909... 24,800,000

1910 27,600,000

1911 27,600,000

1912 30,200,000

1913 27,300,000

1914... 33,000.000

1915 37,900,000

1916 45,400,000

1917 54,300,000

1918... 58,500,000

1919 75,600,000

1920 97.400,000

1921 96,800.000

1922— 12mos 109.491,683

It will be noted that the clearings for 1907,
the "panic year" were heavier than the pre-
ceeding or following year.

It is apparent that the checks cleared form
only a part of the total transactions of the banks
— and it is these total transactions which form
the basis of proper estimate of the business
passing through the banks. Beginning with
August of 1921 the banks report total debit
items paid when reporting clearings. Both
sets of figures are given for 12 months.

THE
BOY SCOUTS OF SOUTH BEND

THE South Bend Council, Boy Scouts of
America is one of approximately six
hundred Local Councils established in
communities throughout our Country. All
these Councils together comprise the National
Council with offices in New York City. Each
of these Local Councils promotes and sup-
•ervises the program of Scouting in their respec-
tive communities.

Since Scouting is not an organization but
iTather a movement it lends itself to co-operate
with all agencies which, like itself, promotes
the welfare of our city boys. The definite
task of Scouting is to promote through the
Leadership of Volunteers, "The Building of
Good Character and the Training for Good
•Citizenship."

In South Bend, Scouting is sponsored by
seventeen churches which are using this pro-
gram as their official boys' program. Six
troops are sponsored by community organi-
.zations such as Parent Teachers Associations
and the like. The American Legion and the
University Club each sponsor one troop.

Our Council has an excellent reservation
of forty acres on the banks of the St. Joe
Biver, four miles north of town. There is
a swimming hole which is made by the dam-

The officers of the Council are chosen from
representative business men who realize that
the boys of today are our citizens of tomorrow
and these men give us their time as well as
their money to promote the program of Scout-

U^DUvSTRIAL

The Rotary, Kiwanis, Lions and Optimist
Clubs as well as other similar clubs have been
active in the maintainence of Boy Scout work
in our city. Every troop of Boy Scouts of
South Bend function is under the leadership of
a Scoutmaster and one or more assistants.
These are volunteers who are doing a great
work for all the boys of South Bend, and
Scouting in South Bend and in similar com-
munities prospers under the leadership of these
excellent men.

THE ST. JOSEPH LOAN & TRUST COMPANY AND
ST. JOSEPH COUNTY SAVINGS BANK

THE St. Joseph Loan & Trust Company
and the St. Joseph County Savings
Bank form the largest banking unit in
South Bend and in Northern Indiana. The
business has been profitably conducted for
more than fifty years and the success attained
has been due to the careful, conservative and
constructive business methods of its officers.

The St. Joseph Banks are known throughout
the St. Joseph valley as strong and well man-
aged institutions and as The St. Joseph Loan
& Trust Company is a member of the Federal
Reserve Bank System, the institution is in
a situation to handle all the desirable loans
that are offered to it. Both these institu-
tions merit and have the confidence of the
community to a remarkable degree and it is
a pride of the South Bend Citizenship that they
have continued to grow and prosper and per-
form a banking function in this community
that is extremely helpful and profitable to
its clientele.

The Washington State Bank was organized
January 11, 1921. At the first meeting of the
shareholders, the above directory was chosen.
A short time later, the building located on
the corner of Washington Avenue and Walnut
streets was purchased, remodeled and equipped
with up-to-date vaulls and bank fixtures, and
was opened for business January 3, 1922.

Those responsible for the growing business
district in this part of the city had long felt

the need of a bank, and when the opportunity
presented itself, did not hesitate to take ad-
vantage of it with the result that practically
all the stock is controlled by residents of the
district who are giving it their undivided sup-
port.

The Washington State Bank has become
known as "The Neighborhood Bank" and has
enjoyed a steady, substantial growth. The
business is conducted by competent, courteous
employees who can converse in all the languages
spoken in the district, which makes it truly
a neighborhood bank.

Separate rest rooms and shower baths will
be located in the basement for the use of the
men and women employees of the bank.

The ventilation of the basement and mez-
zanine floor will be by a washed air system,
the air being changed every six minutes.

The directors in constructing this building
have made all possible arrangements for
future growth, and feel that without making
any additional changes or remodeling, the
bank can easily take care of four times as
much business as they have at the present
time.

THE MORRIS PLAN COMPANY
OF SOUTH BEND

THE Morris Plan Company of South Bend,
120 South Main St., is an organized
system planned and operated especially
to furnish borrowing and investing facil-
ities to people of
moderate means ; to
firms and corpora-
tions, who either be-
cause of limited re-
sponsibility or re-
sources, or because
loans are wanted for a
longer time and can
not be accommodated
at commercial banks.

The first Morris
Plan Company was
organized in 1910, at
Norfolk, Va. It is
now successfully op-
erating in over 100
cities of the United
States. The MorI■i^
Plan Company nl
South Bend was
organized in Dec-
ember, 1914, and the
first loan was made
January 22, 1915.
Some of the best
known business men
of South Bend have
been connected with
its management
since its organization.
The present officers
and directors are :

Dr. R. L. Sensenich, President.

Mr. C. C. Herr, 1st Vice-President.

Mr. W. H. Tupper, 2nd Vice-President.

Mr. H. J. Lederer, Secretary.

Mr. S. R. Dunnuck, Treasurer.

Mr. A. Millbern, Manager.

Mr. Frank Gilmer, Attorney.

Mr. A. H. Heller, Heller & Son Furniture

Mr. C. L. Hibberd, Hibberd Ptg. Company.
Mr. A. G. Rumpf, Sec'y and Asst. ~
the Studebaker Corporation.

Mr. Harry Weiss,

A. MILLBERN, Manager,
The Morris Plan Company of South Bend

Dep't. Mgr. Wilson
Brothers.

In the operation of
the business, unnec-
essary borrowing is
not encouraged,- but,
loans are made for
useful purposes to
people who can sat-
isfy the management
that the credit asked
for is in keeping with
the Plan, and that
the payments have
been carefully arrang-
ed for. Loans are
made in any amount
from $25.00 to $5,000
for not longer than
one year — the need
and income determ-
ining the amount and
lime.

The Morris Plan
also provides for and
encourages thrift in
a systematic way,
through the regular
savings accounts and
savings and life in-
surance combined.
The Morris Plan
works on the plan
that whether you
save with them or
not, save something,
somewhere.

The Morris Plan is a dignified business-like
way of fm-nishing financial aid, and is dedi-
cated to the proposition that all persons are
entitled to credit for useful purposes, pro-
vided they are planning carefully and wisely.

SOUTH BEND PARKS

1053352

SOUTH BEND is a good place to live and
play as well as work. Including the re-
cent magnificent gift by Mr Albert Rus-
sell Erskine. President of the Studebaker Cor-
poration, of 120 acres of land to the City of
South Bend, the park
system of the city now
embraces approximate-
ly 500 acres. "Keep
ofT the Grass" signs
have long been re-
moved and nowadays
citizens are not merely
permitted to look at the
parks for which they
have paid, but are
encouraged to enjoy
them.

Howard and Leeper
parks located on the
banks of the pictur-
esque St. Joseph River,
are real beauty spots .

Here during the
summer months thou-
sands of our citi-
zens including women
and children take ad-
vantage of these de-
lightful shaded spots,
either for rest or re-
creation. It would in-
deed be difficult to
find in any city a
more beautiful or
better managed park
system than right here
in South Bend, and
this may also be said
of our boulevards, play grounds and nata-
torium. And here the thought comes to me,
of all the thousands of our citizens who take
advantage of these public and beautiful rec-
reation facilities, how many stop to think of
those to whom we are indebted for the privil-
eges we today enjoy?

The present Park Board consists of Mr.
Richard Elbel, Mr. George M. Plainer, Mr.
W. W. Ridenour and Mr. Otis Romine.

RICHARD
Dean of South 1

Mr. Richard Elbel is known throughout the
State as the "Dean of South Bend Parks." He is
the only charter member of the South Bend
Park Commissioners, having served continuous
ly and untiringly for twelve years. He and Col.
Foster of Ft. Wayne,
are the two men of long-
est continous service
in Indiana. They serve
without salary and Mr.
Elbel has always in-
sisted on paying his
own traveling expens-
es also. He has been
appointed by four dif-
ferent mayors elected
on different political
tickets. Because of
temperament, a life
time training along ar-
tistic lines, he being a
capable musician, his
ability to serve and his
sincere efforts to better
the community and his
fellow man have caused
him to be recognized
as indispensable
to the city in the de-
velopment of its park
and boulevard system.
In 1920, Mr. Elbel
was elected President
of the State Park Asso-
ciation and it was he
who first conceived the
idea of a beautiful
boulevard system
around the city. Dur-
ing the past twelve years he has spent
countless hours of persistent effort in this
behalf and has finally obtained link by link,
grants of land 100 to 200 feet wide from pro-
perly owners all the way from Leeper Park
to the four mile bridge. Progress is now being
made to grade this stretch for paving in
the near future.

Mr. Elbel tells a most interesting story
about the development of South Bend Parks,

and of the hardships overcome, and during
this early period of the work he gives the
highest praise to the following gentlemen :

Judge T. E. Howard, Ex-Mayor Chas.
L. Goetz, Ex-Mayor Keller, and Geo. E.
Kessler, the Landscape Architect, besides the
former members of the board. These include
Dr. E. J. Lent, Simon Greenabaum, Horace
Green, Irving Jackson and Carl D. Britton.

After tellingoftheearly history of the parks,
Mr. Eibel says:

SOUTH BEND PARKS

By RICHARD ELBEL, Dean of South Bend Parks.

From comparatively small beginnings the
park board in its 12 years of existence has
worked up a creditable system of parks. It
has accomplished much on very meager
funds and the work has not been easy. Yet,
looking back over these years, some consol-
ation is gained from what has been accomp-
plished.

During the Chas. L. Goetz administration
a most advantageous purchase was made of 35
acres in Studebaker Park, 25 acres in Kaley
Park, 4 acres for Playfield in Leeper Park,
and an addition to Howard Park. This was
real foresight and will forever stand to the
great credit of Mr. Goolz.

During the Keller administration the pur-
chase of 103 acres in Rum Village was accom-
plished, also of twenty acres in the northwest
part of the city, west of Oliver street, to take
care of future needs. The purchase of 100
or more acres in Rum Village is a thing any
administration might be proud of and will
rebound each year more to Mr. Keller's credit.
Later some 14 acres known as the Woods
tract, across the river from St. Mary's was
presented to the city by Mr. and Mrs. Harry
L. Woods.

EXPANSION IS RAPID

The parking area of the city has now grown
to about 484 acres and has grown immeasur-
ably in the service it is rendering to the pub-
lic and in the contentment it has added to
the residents of the city. One very important
thing should be noted in this regard: all
things done by way of improvements by other
boards in the city are at their best and high-
est value when put in — meaning pavements,
schools, water works, etc., all of these things
are wearing out and grow less in value year
by year, but the work done by the Park
Board grows in value every year as the city
grows. Every acre it now has is worth a
vast deal more than when it was purchased.

and the consistent improvements have made
the property very much greater in value.

This means that every piece of property in
the neighborhood is worth a great deal more
and means to the city a greater return in taxes.
Property owners ought to be quite willing
to stand that. The work of the Park Board,
therefore, pays for itself many times over,
not only in aesthetic value and beautification
of the city, but in dollars and cents. The
increased taxes come back to the city every
year because every year the taxable value
of this property keeps mounting.

During almost the entire existence of this
board, A. P. Perley has been its superintendent
and secretary. The splendid development and
beauty of the parks and boulevards of South
Bend is well known all over the state, and drew
forth wonderful encomiums of praise from all
the visiting boards at the time of the State
convention of the Indiana Park Depts. here
three years ago. At that time the writer had
the honor of serving as President of the State
Association. By virtue of this fact, he is an
honorary life member.

COMPLETING RIVERSIDE DRIVE

The board has now nearly completed the
work of connecting pieces of property and has
succeeded in tying up a boulevard all along
the river from the present end of Biverside
Drive at the Three I bridge at Mosquito Glen.

The last two pieces of property for this pur-
pose, amounting to quite a large number of
acres, were just recently granted to the city
by George and Elizabeth Alward and Oscar
Ludwig. Work is now progressing on these
drives, and when finally completed there will
be nothing handsomer in the state. It is
anticipated that there will be, in coiu'se of
time, a boulevard running as far north as
St. Joseph, Mich.

After a dozen years of effort this project is
actually taking shape while on the north side
of the river and to the east of the city a con-
tinuous stretch has now been acquired reach-
ing up to and beyond Mishawaka. There
is now or soon will be a continuous drive of
twelve miles along the river. The fruition
of this age old dream is one of the finest and
biggest pieces of work the board has ever
done.

A ROSE GARDEN

The coming year the board is looking for-
ward to the working out of another of its
pet plans, the establishment of a Bose Garden
in Leeper Park. It will probably take the
shape of a sunken garden and at least, three
hundred varieties of rare roses will be grown.
CONCERNING RUM VILLAGE

Outside of the accomplishment of the Biver-
side Boulevard the most important thing to
the citizens of South Bend is a project which

should have been accomphshed long ago.
When the 103 acres were acquired at Rum
Village the only mistake made thereby was
the limited amount of acerage bought. Two
or three hundred additional acres should be
immediately added to this tract. The pur-
chase of this ground must somehow be ac-
complished and that soon.

KESSLER ADVOCATED PURCHASE

The climacteric conditions now confronting
the board on this question are such as to make
an early start along this line not only advis-
able but absolutely necessary.

Mr. Kessler was asked what would such
a tract be worth to a city like St. Louis or
Chicago.

He smiled blandly and said with a waive
of his hand:

"Millions, millions!" And, he said, "it is
worth immense sums right here to South Bend,
not only now, but especially in the future.
Let me emphasize the fact that this tract
should be acquired now while it may be done
at a tenth or perhaps a hundredth part of
what it would cost in a few years."

NEW PARK IN NORTH SECTION

The most urgent matter before the board is
the acquisition very soon of a certain large
tract it desires in the north section of the city,
part of the city has been neglected The tract
referred to is topographically the most beautiful
in this locality. It has features still more

handsome than Rum Village, but for obvious
reasons the exact location is not yet being di-
vulged. This is the most serious and immedi-
ate proposition before the board.

Since the great success of the golf links in
Studebaker park the board has been beseiged
by many individual citizens and by written
petitions asking for the establishment of an
eighteen hole golf course.

ERSKINE PARK

South Bend has at last produced a citizen
with a heart and soul big enough to encompass
the good of all its citizens and to show it in a
practical manner. Some of our people have
heretofore donated small tracts, but now comes
Mr. Albert R. Erskine, head of the Stude-
baker Corporation, who had just donated a
handsome tract of 120 acres of rolling and
partly wooded land on the Miami Road, just
west of his magnificent new residence. Mr.
and Mrs. Erskine have certainly endeared
themselves to the public and have thereby
shown their faith in South Bend — the best
city in the country. Mr. Erskine had made
provision for this donation in his will but de-
cided he might as well give it now so people
could enjoy it with him while living. Wise Old
Owl! He has shown others how to give.
Not a string was tied to this generous gift.
The Erskines evidently feel that a gift such

the need of growing cities for these beauty

It is the belief of the board that as the citizens
actually see the natatorium in use they will
observe its value to the whole city and will
only then begin to appreciate it. It was er-
ected in the most approved and up-to-date
manner and is conducted in the most sanitary
and modern method. The board intends to
carry it on in such a manner as to attract its
patronage from every part of the city.

A filtering and violet ray device known as
the R.U.V. system was installed This is the
system which has proven so satisfactory in
keeping the very best of sanitary condition of
the water that is used at the Culver Military
Academy and in all the larger cities and the
finest pools elsewhere. The board has taken
great pride in the erection of this natatorium.
It is a great step forward.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

THE commercial, industrial and financi
status of a city is usually reflected i
the achievements and prominance >
its Chamber of Commerce.
Regardless of pop-
ulation, there is no
city in the United
States whose Cham-
ber of Commerce is
organized on a broad-
er scope, and whose
activity and influence
is more widely felt
than are those of the
Chamber of Com-
merce of South Bend.
F. A. Miller Editor of
the South Bend Trib-
une, was the first pres-
ident of the organiza-
tion.

With its large and
steadily increasing
membership of busi-
ness and professional
men whose interests
and widely differing
activities labor for
the common good of
South Bend and
whose purpose is to
serve the whole com-
munity, its brilliant
record of achieve-
ment has brought the
highest commenda-
tion from both within
and without the State.
It's platform stands
for "Service For the Greatest Number."
With its activities co-ordinated and seg-
regated through the machine like working of
various Bureaus and Committees, a watchful
eye is kept on movements or opportunities
in many lines, to the end that the powerful
influence of this active body may be directed
along lines of the greatest usefulness. No
opportunity that would be beneficial to South

Bend is overlooked and the past record of
deeds accomplished has earned for the Cham-
ber the highest praise and confidence of our
citizenship familiar with its achievements.

Those who are not
actively engaged in
t he work of the Cham-
ber of Commerce,
have little concep-
tion of the momen-
tous questions which
are presented for so-
lution and of the great
work accomplished
for the betterment of
the city in which they
live.

The general officers
of the Chamber of
Commerce must al-
ways be in touch with
the great questions,
national or otherwise,
that have to do with
the government of
cities, and with the
enactment of laws
that may, or may not,
afl"ect the well be-
ing of their own city.

They must be in
touch with questions
of transportation and
be prepared with ac-
curate data to pro-
tect shippers ' interests
affected by state or
federal legislation; to
keep in touch with foreign trade and be able
to advise local manufacturers with reference
to methods of promoting the same; to be on
the constant lookout for new industries for
South Bend, special efl'orts being made to in-
crease the already gi-eat diversity of local
manufacturers; to compile commercial and
industrial statistics and distribute widely
facts about industrial South Bend.

These are only a few of the great questions
that concern the general welfare, other sub-
jects being taken care of by Buieaus and Com-
mittees, but are sufficient to warrant every
good citizen in giving his active thought and
support to his Chamber of Commerce.

Among the more important Bui'eaus of
the South Bend Chamber of Commerce, each
under an active head, may be mentioned the
following: Traffic; Safety and Fire Preven-
tion Council; Merchants; Housing; Em-
ployment; Information and Investigation.

The Committee System is organized under
the following heads: City Plan; Civic Organ-
izations, Cooperative; Hospitals; Federal
Building; Finance; Health and Sanita-
tion; Industrial; Labor Relations: Legal;
Legislative; Membership; Public Affairs;
Special: Teachers Federation and Track
Separation.

Under the Committee plan only a Chair-
man is appointed, he in turn choosing his
associates to complete each special task as-
signed the committee.

In addition to the working Bureaus and
Committees, the Chamber of Commerce build-
ing is headquarters for thirty-five different
organizations, and is the office of the Veter-
ans' Bureau: the Federation for Social Ser-
vice; the American Red Cross, and the Boy
Scouts of America.

Every Bureau and every Committee of the
Chamber of Commerce is an active body.
Space would not permit a detailed statement
of the service rendered, but an idea of the work
accomplished may be had from the mention
of a few pointed facts:

The employment Bureau has actually placed
in positions up to August first, 4,668 men and
222 women. This means that the Bureau
personally investigated the applicants, as-
certained their condition, their health and the
character of work best suited in their
particular case. This department cooper-
ates wilh the American Red Cross. Anti-
tuberculosis League, Associated Charities,
Police Department, American Legion, Y. W.
C. A., the Business Colleges and the Voca-

tional Educational Department of the Public
Schools. It also has served employers in the fol-
lowing places: St. Joseph, Niles, and Dowagiac,
Michigan, Chicago, Plymouth, Hartford City,
New Carlisle, Walkerton, and with farmers
in Northern Indiana and Southern and West-
ern Michigan.

The Housing Committee has found housing
accommodations for 4,020. The demands
upon this service is greater than the supply
as is testified to by the fact that 5,642 requests
for such accommodations have been received.

In the matter of furnishing information, the
Chamber is called upon for every conceivable
service from spelling words correctly over the
phone to furnishing data on matters of vital
importance. LTp to August 1, information
had been furnished personally and by phone
in 27,415 instances, while information requir-
ing investigation has been furnished 4,689
inquirers. The information department has
a complete file of data of general interest in
addition to a library of city directories of 220
cities covering every State in the Union.

In the Investigation Department a com-
plete service is rendered banks and individuals
whether members of the organization or not
and the savings in dollars cannot be computed.

The Chamber is affiliated with and receives
the confidential reports of the Indiana Securi-
ties Commission. Crooked operators, solici-
tors and the "Blue Sky" artists know the
reputation of this department. Thirty-five
cities in Indiana clear information through
the South Bend Chamber of Commerce which
is affiliated with the Chamber of Commerce
of the United States and some 1500 other
Chambers and Trade Organizations.

The Safety and Fire Prevention Council is
a new venture in public service. The title
of the department explains its purpose.
Already the Vigilantes of the Council are
performing a wonderful work in correcting
infractions of the traffic laws and every effort
is put forth to reduce the loss of life, accidents
and fires in South Rend and to make it a safe

The Traffic Bureau, whose purpose and
functions are too numerous to mention,
is one of the Chamber's most active de-
partments. Suffice to say, that since January
1, of this year, this department has secured
reparation for its members of over $13,000.00

With this cursory statement of the work
now being done, it is not an exaggeration to
state that the South Bend Chamber of Com-
merce stands at the very forefront of com-
munity service. Its staff of seven persons
are prepaied and ready twenty-four houtrs
each day to give of the best of themselves that
South Bend may profit. The organization
owns its own home and is non-profit making
in its operations.

The influence of the Chamber is far reaching.
Its voice has secured attention in the Legis-

lature of the State and at Washington. It
is recognized as a factor by the Government.
The State, City and County officers have
complimented the Chamber on its work and
for the fearlessness of its decisions and actions.

The record of the organization cannot be
itemized for space will not permit. Suffice
it is to say that every conceivable form of
service has been asked for and freely given.

The possibilities of the Chamber are limited
only by the needs of an ever expanding com-
munity and the unanimous support of its
citizens. Created to serve, the South Bend
Chamber of Commerce will write in large
letters in the history of the city and county,
a record of achievement of which every citizen
may well feel proud.

ONE OF SOUTH BEND'S WORLD FAMED INDUSTRIES

THE South Bend Lathe Works was estab-
lished in 1906, by the O'Brien Brothers,
M. W. O'Brien and J. J. O'Brien, who
are the present owners. The Company manu-
factures a complete line of screw cutting engine
lathes ranging in size from 9" swing to 24" for
use in machine shops and metal working in-
dustrial plants. The factory is devoted to the
manufature of lathes exclusively. It has a

complete equipment of modern machinery,
tools and jigs for the manufactiu-e of accurate
interchangeable parts. The Company employs
between four and five hundred skilled mech-
anics and has a productive capacity of five
hundred lathes per month. In addition to
the domestic business the Company has for
twelve years, enjoyed a large foreign trade,
selling to sixty-four countries thruout the world.

HOW STUDEBAKER HAS CONTRIBUTED TO THE
GROWTH OF SOUTH BEND

THE growth and progress of South Bend
and that of Studebaker furnish an inter-
esting and dramatic parallel. In fact, there
is no case on record where any single insti-
luiion has played a
more important role
in its community de-
velopment.

South Bend was a
mere hamlet when
Henry and Clem
Studebaker started
in business here in
1852 under the firm
name of H. and C.
Studebaker with cash
and resources consist-
ing of S68 and two for-
ges. Their business
was blacksmithing
and wagon building.
And from that time
until the present, a
span of morethan sev-
enty yeai's, the name
of Studebaker has
been linked prom-
inently with every
development of over-
land transportation.

The first Stude-
baker wagon was a
crude vehicle, but
it was better than any
other wagon of its
day — more strongly
built and more dura-
ble. And with that
first wagon there were inaugurated certain ideals
of manufacture — honest product, fair prices and
integrity in all dealings which have continued
throughout more than two generations of con-
tinuous manufacture and which are one of
Studebaker's greatest assets. These cardinal
principles of quality, dependability and un-
equalled value of product, plus absolute satis-

faction to every one who deals with the House of
Studebaker, have been instrumental in Stude-
baker reaching its position as the world's largest
builder of six-cylinder cars.

The history of
Studebaker is one of
the most inspiring
among the industrial
annals of the nation,
because it recites the
struggles of thesestur-
dy pioneers through
periods of ups and
downs and finally
their triumphs in
which, fortunately, it
was the good fortune
of the founders to
participate.

After John M.,
Peter E., and Jacob
F. Studebaker had
joined fortunes with
Henry and Clem,
Studebaker Brothers
Manufacturing Com-
pany was organized
under the statutes of
Indiana on March 26,
1868, with a capital
of $75,000. The fac-
tories then covered
four acres of ground
and the number of
mechanics was 140.
In 1870. the first
branch house was es-
tablished in St. Jos-
eph, Mo.

Factory expansion went on apace, business
grew and in 1875 the capital stock was increased
from $75,000 to $1,000,000. Another increase
to $3,600,000 followed in 1896 and in 1906,
$1,500,000 of six percent preferred stock was
issued for cash.

In the meantime, sons and sons-in-law of
the Studebaker Brothers became acitve in the

management of affairs. Col. George M. Stude-
baker, Clement Studehaker, Jr., J. M. Stude-
baker, Jr., and Frederick Studebaker Fish
served apprenticeships in different departments
and rose to important official positions. So
did Nelson J. Riley, of St. Joseph, Mo., Chailes
A. Carlisle, of Toledo, H. D. Johnson, of Mon-
roe, Mich., and William R. Innis, of New York.

Reing the world 's largest producer of horse-
drawn vehicles, it was inevitable with the ad-
vent of the automobile that the company
should become interested in this new means of
travel. As eaily as 1897, Studebaker built and
experimented with a "horseless vehicle," as it
was described in the minutes of the dii-ectors,
and in 1902 the company launched into the
manufacture of complete electric runabouts
and trucks, of which 1,841 were produced up
to 1912 when the manufacture of electrics was
abandoned.

The company engaged in the manufacture of
gasoline cais in 1904, and during the next seven
years built and sold 2,481 passenger cars and
trucks. In 1908, Studebaker effected an agree-
ment with Everett-Metzger-Flanders Company
of Detroit, the business, plants, assets and trade
namesof which were taken over in 1910. From
that time on, the building of Studebaker cars
was divided between South Rend and Detroit.
Later, a Canadian factory in Walkerville was
erected for the building of cars for distribution in
Canada.

The next big step was the organization of The
Studebaker Corporation, which acquired the
business, plants and trade names of Stude-
baker Rrothers Manufactm-ing Company,
Everett-Metzger-Flanders Company and their
subsidiary companies. The Studebaker Cor-
poration was incorporated February 14, 1911
withan authorized capitalization of $15,000,000
preferred stock and .§30,000,000 common stock.
Soon thereafter the ability and genius of
Albert Russel Erskine was acquired, and he
became president of The Studebaker Cor-
poration, an office he has held continuously
since that time and in which he has directed
many of the outstanding achievements in the
history of the automobile.

Aside from the general growth of The Stude-
baker Corporation, Mr. Erskine has perform-

ed many important services which show that
his life and interest are devoted to making^
possible a greater and better South Rend.
Chief among these, perhaps, was the decision
to erect here the most modern automobile
plant in the world. One half of this plant was
completed early in 1920. It was designed and
built exclusively for the complete manufacture
of the Studebaker Light-Six models, and in 1922
is operating upon a 50,000-car-a-year-schedule,
with 9.000 workers employed. Since the sale of
the Studebaker wagon and harness business re-
cently, the buildings formerly devoted to wagon
making have been converted into closed car
body plants and ai-e the scene of even greater
activity than ever before. Plans have been
recently announced which will involve the ex-
penditure of $5,000,000 in additional buildings
and equipment which will double the capacity
of the South Rend plants within the next year.

The past two yeais have witnessed Stude-
haker 's most spectacular growth. It was dur-
ing this period that the public, using greater
discretion in automobile purchases than ever
before and accepting the high quality, perform-
ance and intrinsic value of Studebaker cai-s,
expressed its appreciation in terms of extra-
ordinary demand. As a result, in 1921, Stude-
baker sales showed an increase of 29 percent
over 1920 while the total sales of other manu-
facturers, except Ford, were 45 percent less
than in 1920. As a result Studebaker has
been referred to everywhere as the marvel of
the industry and the achievement heralded
throughout the world.

The history of Studebaker has been linked
inseparably with the history of South Rend in
the same way as it has been linked with the
history of transportation. As Studebaker has
grown. South Rend has grown, and even a more
brilliant future for both Hes ahead. Rut with
all the wonderful sales records. Studebaker.
under Mr. Erskine 's guidance has never lost
sight of the ideals of the founders or the real-
ization of its responsibilities. Traditions have
always meant much to Studebaker and always
will-and these offer assurance of a continuance
of the same high standards that have charact-
erized Studebaker 's dealings with public and
employee alike fur nearly three-quarters of a
century.

PLOW MAKERS FOR THE WORLD

TO the City of South Bend has fallen the
privilege of supplying a very large part
of plows used throughoat the world.
The Oliver Plant — the largest single Plow
Works in the world — is one of the important
industries of South Bend. The general accept-
ance of Oliver Plows
in every country'in the
world in which agri-
culture is carried on,
has earned for the Ol-
iver Company the title
of Plow Makers for the
World.

The old Oliver Plant,
located on Chapin St.
at the New York Cent-
ral tracks, occupies 58
acres with 35 acres of
floor space. The new
Oliver Plant, located
south of the old plant
has just recently been
completed, and doubles
the production capaci-
ty of the Oliver institu-
tion, covering an aiea
of 60 acres.

The new plant represents the latest and most
improved methods of manufacturing plows and
farm implements. It is a model of its kind.
The Indiana Northern railroad, the subsidiary

JOSEPH D. OLIVER

of the Oliver Chilled Plow Works, connects the
two plants and handles all freight shipments.
The Oliver hydro-electric plant, located near
the site of the first Oliver factory, supplies a
large portion of the power required in manu-
facturing.

The Oliver institu-
tion was founded by
Mr. James Oliver, with
the invention of the
Oliver process of chill-
ing metal as applied in
plow building. Prior to
this invention no plows
suitable for the gritty,
stony conditions pre-
vailing in so many parts
of the country were in
existence. Oliver plows
provided better and
cheaper plows, and
have played a large
partjn the agricultural
developments in the
world. The Oliver
Chilled Plow Works is
owned and operated by
Mr. J. D. Oliver, son
of Mr. James Oliver, Founder. The Oliver
Company is unique in the fact that it is one of
the few large institutions in the world, owned
and operated exclusively by one family.

SOUTH BEND IS THE HOME OF ONE OF AMERICA'S
LEADING WATCH FACTORIES

SOUTH Bend is known the world over for
its fine timepieces quite as much as for
for its automobiles and farm implements.
Because the South Bend Watch is named after
the city in which it is made and has played up
the name "South Bend" in millions of dollars
worth of magzaine advertising during recent
years it has probably done as much or more
than any other enterprise to make South Bend
"world-famed."

Nearly a million South Bend Watches are
now in the pockets of American men and their
accurate performance has added a tremendous
amount of word-of -mouth advertising for these
watches and for the city of South Bend.

The plant of the South Bend Watch Com-
pany, illustrated below, is one of the most
modern in the high grade watch field and is
yearly visited by thousands who marvel at the
ingenious automatic machinery and the highly
skilled personal artisanship which go to make

up the marvelous mechanism of a modern time-
piece.

The plant is located on Mishawaka Avenue,
asphalt street, away from the dust and dirt
of the factory district amid working conditions
that are ideal. More than five hundred work-
men are employed and the plant has a capacity
of between two and three hundred high grade
timepieces every working day.

South Bend Watches are on sale in more than
ten thousand retail stores throughout the
United States. In large cities and smaller
towns, alike, "The Watch with the Purple
Ribbon" is recognized as one of the leading
American Watches.

It is a remarkable tribute to the quality
of the product that, right in its own home town
where buyers have the best possible opport-
unity to judge the value and service which
the company is able to deliver, there is not

America and have attained the same enviable
reputation for accuaracy in railroad use that

they have in commercial fields. During the

THE SOUTH BEND TRIBUNE

BUILT from a small begimiing, like so many
of South Bend's great industrial and com-
mercial enterprises, The South Bend
Tribune has become a powerful influence for
good in South Bend. It is northern Indiana's
oldest daily, the principal newspaper of north-
ern Indiana and one of the leading journals of the
central west with an influence more far reach-
ing than its more than 50,000 daily readers are
aware.

The early adoption of broad policies and a
constantly far seeing vision are the two con-
spicuous factors which have created this power-
ful influence, while the general business policies
based on justice, fair dealing and conscientious
effort to labor for the people's interest have
brought The Tribune a measiu-e of success re-
sulting in a circulation the largest of any daily
newspaper pubhshed in northern Indiana and
an advertising patronage by home and foreign
advertisers that exceeds any daily newspaper
issued in its territory.

The South Bend Tribune was founded as a
weekly newspaper March 9, 1872, by Alfred B.
Miller, who died Dec. 10, 1892, and by Elmer
Crockett, now president of South Bend Tribune,
the name under which the company was rein-
corporated in 1920 under the laws of Indiana
with a capitalization of §400,000. On May 28,
1873, The Daily Tribune was established in re-
sponse to a demand for a daily newspaper. It
was the first daily published in the city. The
weekly issue continued until Dec. 25, 1909,
when it was merged with the daily. On Nov.
4. 1887, The Tribune purchased the St. Joseph
Yafley Begister, founded by the late Vice-
President Schuyler Colfax, and merged it.

On April 25, 1921, The Tribune moved into
a new building which it built especially for its
own use at the northeast corner of Colfax ave-
nue and Lafayette boulevard, now known as
the Tribune corner. This building is recognized
as one of the finest newspaper structures in
America. It has been visited by newspaper
men from various parts of the country seeking
ideas for use in newspaper buildings in other
cities. One of the interesting features of The
Tribune building is an auditorium seating 500

persons. Here social events take place and re-
citals and lectures are given.

The mechanical equipment of The Tribune
is in keeping with the building. The Tribune
has 225 persons on its payroll besides corres-
pondents in various towns and cities. It is the
original Associated Press newspaper in South
Bend and the only afternoon Associated Press
paper in the city. The South Bend Sunday
Tribune was established April 30, 1922, and
immediately won great popularity.

The Tribune always has been and still is a
family affair. Mr. Miller and Mr. Crockett,
the principal owners in the early days, were
brothers-in-law. Today the owners are Mr.
Crockett, his only son, Charles E. Crockett,
and his nephew, F. A. Miller, only son of Al-
fred B. Miller. After the death of Mr. Mil-
ler Mr. Crockett was elected president, a posi-
tion he stiU holds. F. A. Miller was elected
vice-president and later became editor and
directing head of the newspaper, a position he
has held for about 30 years. Charles E. Crock-
ett is secretary and treasm-er, a place he has
occupied for many years.

The Tribune is essentially a paper of and for
the people. It was founded on that idea, has
never deviated from it and in all probability
will not so long as the present owners control
it. While recognized as a republican newspaper
it is classed as independent republican and al-
ways reserves the right to support those it con-
scientiously believes will give the people the
best service cind honor and dignify the office to
be filled.

The Tribune is careful of its contents, both
in news and advertising columns. It does not
hesitate to refuse its advertising columns to
business it knows should not be placed before
the people. Endeavoring in every issue to
make a newspaper for the home, a newspaper
fit to be read by any member of the family,
The Tribune guards its pages carefully and in-
sists on cleanhness and accuracy. In South
Bend The Tribune has become an institution.
Away from South Bend it is recognized as one
of America's best daily newspapers.

SOUTH BEND'S MODERN
GAS PLANT

THE present water gas plant that serves
the cities of South Bend and Mishawaka
was established at Pennsylvania and
Miami Streets in 1907, when the Northern
Indiana Gas & Electric Company took over
the property of the South Bend & Mishawaka
Gas Company.

This plant, modern in every respect, is equip-
ped to manufactULre 5,950,000 cubic feet of
gas a day. The large holders are capable of
storing 1,500,000 cubic feet.

Within the last ten years, the Company has
more than doubled its output, which in the
face of a 32% increase in population over the
same period, is excellent testimony to the more
extensive use of gas as a fuel in homes and
industrial plants.

To-day, the Company is supplying 67,000,
000 cubic feet a month to its 80,000 customers.
Most homes, in fact all modern homes in South
Bend, are using gas service for cooking and
water heating.

The Gas Company is continually expanding

■with the City's growth, for no community
can grow faster than its Gas Company without
disastrous effects on the Gas Service and the
community itself.

The Northern Indiana Gas & Electric Com-
pany in the maintenance of its twenty four
hour service employs 120 men and women in
its plant, store and offices.

The Gas Company is a worth-while organiza-
tion performing a worth-while task for the com-
munity it serves, and its interest and the publ-

ic's interests are so closely akin that they are
identical.

Guy M. Johnson, Manager of the North-
ern Indiana Gas & Electric Company came
to South Bend in 1918. A gas engineer of
considerable experience, he has proved him-
self a public servant of the highest type. Prom-
inently associated with the Chamber of Com-
merce, he is heart and soul for the welfare of
those whom he serves.

Mr. Johnson is an engineering graduate of
Wisconsin University.

HOME OF THE O'BRIEN VARNISH CO.

THE O'Brien Varnish Company was found-
ed in 1878 by Patrick O'Brien. His
first product was a finishing material
which was used as a first coat on buggy and
carriage bodies. The immediate success of
this material encouraged Mr. O'Brien to start
a small varnish making plant on the site of
the present factory.

Since that time the Company has grown
steadily and is today one of the oldest and
largest varnish and paint factories in America.
Its products are divided into three classes:
a long list of varnishes, paints, stains, enamels
and other materials commonly known as archi-
tectural finishes, designed for use in build-
ings of every type; a complete line of colors

and varnishes for the automobile and vehicle
industry together with a full line of specialty
goods for manufacturers using materials of
this kind on their products. All products are
completely built up from the foundation at
the South Bend plant.

The business of the company is now con-
ducted by William D. O'Brien as President
of the Corporation and George L. O'Brien
as the Secretary and Treasurer.

The company employes a large number of
people in its factory and office, together with
a large organization of traveling representa-
tives w ho sell in every state in the Union.

Visitors are always welcome at the O'Brien
nlant.

THE NEWS TIMES

THE News-Times of today, an independent
newspaper, pledged to a policy of en-
couragement of every good enterprise
and an unrelenting foe of any influence which
menances the welfare of either the city or the
people, has a history which dates back to 1853.
In that year a weekly publication, known as
the FORUM, was started by Ariel Luscius
Draper and his son. After various changes
of ownership and of name, this paper finally
became the South Bend Times in 1881, and
in 1883 it came under the editorship of John
B. Stoll and his partner, the late Charles A.
McDonald. The News so formed was founded
by the late Chauncey N. Fassett as a weekly
paper in 1887.

It was continued in this form until 1898
when it was transformed into a daily morning
paper. The merger of the Times and News
was effected in 1911 by the late Gabriel R.
Summers, and these papers were pledged under
a single ownership, and since this time have
published morning, evening and Sunday edi-
tions.

In April of 1917, Joseph M. Stephenson,
became publisher. He brought with him the
fine ambition to make the paper of real service
to the community, and believing that the day
when newspapers could be operated upon a
purely political basis had ended, brought to
it an inspiration for service to the community
in a much wider field of service than was per-
mitted to purely political ordinances.

The policy of the News-Times is based upon
a complete confidence and faith in the future
of South Bend and its environs, and its real
aim has been to assist in the development of
the great industries in which its people are
engaged. In keeping with that spirit, the
News-Times has kept abreast with every
modern development in the mechanical im-
provement and facilities for the publishing
of newspapers of large circulation. Its me-
chanical equipment comprises the greatest im-
provements and inventions necessary to the
rapid production and dehvery of its product.

It is now housed in a large building which
is the property of the company, and it merits
the comment that it is a pleasant paper,
published under pleasant and comfortable con-
ditions.

No effort in expense is spared in securing
the news of the world as it happens. Morning

and Sunday editions carry the full report of
an Associated Press leased wire. In the after-
noon it has the leased wire services of both
the International News Service and the United
Press. It incorporated into its paper those
features which are found only in the large
metropolitan papers. It believes that the
people it serves are entitled to the best, and
its constant endeavor is to secure for them
whatever may enlighten, amuse, or inspire.

The News-Times claims the unique distinc-
tion in the newspaper world in that, while it
pubhshes an edition in the morning and another
in the evening, its subscription lists do not
overlap, and it really produces but one paper.
The division of publication hoiu-s enables it
to serve the entue community and to deUver
news at its earliest possible moment over the
wide area in which it holds supremacy.

Mr. Stephenson has surrounded himself with
a staff of executives who aie in thorough har-
mony with his policy of building and who are
dedicated to his pledge of the fullest services
in a most constructive manner: Assistant Pub-
lisher, Robert H. McAuliffe, Boyd Gurley as
the editor, W. R. Armstrong, advertising man-
ager and R. W. Mclnerny, circulation manager
and C. M. Widney classified manager. The
broad policy of independence in political mat-
ters, by no means interpreted as neutrality
upon great issues, has won for it the complete
confidence of its readers. It is upon the rock
of that confidence and in full faith, and the
glorious future of this city that the News-
Times is founded.

Its record of growth to the point where it
now has the lai-gest circulation and advertising
patronage in Northern Indiana is a matter of
pride, and is taken as a testimonial to the cor-
reclness of its cardinal principles.

It is rich in the inheritance in ideals of strong
characters, who from time to time served the
community upon the different papers which
have been drawn together into a complete
whole. It is firm in the faith that its broad
spirit of tolerance, its kindly sympathy, its
alert watchfulness, and above all, its trust
and confidence in its readers, offers the broad-
est opportimities for even greater service.
To merit that confidence is its only aim. Its
sole hope is that it may be ever and always
an influence in the lives of its readers which
they will welcome as an inspiration to happier,
better and more splendid things.

G. E. MEYER & SON

Hardware

FOR more than fifty years the name Meyer
has been closely identified with the Hard-
ware business in South Bend, it has been
said, especially by the older residents of this
community, that when one thinks hardware they
think Meyer, for the name has been established
in that business since 1864 when Godfrey E.
Meyer and G. L. Poehlman started a Tin shop
and Hardware Store at 107 South Michigan St.
This partnership continued imtil 1893, when
Mr. Poehlman disposed of his interest to John
V. Meyer and the present fu-m name of G. E.
Meyer & Son was established and in the meantime
they had outgiown their old quarters and re-
moved their store to 117 North Mich. St.

The death of G. E. Meyer occin-ed in 1901 and

John \. Meyer became sole owner, and con-
ducted the business successfully and was active
until his death in 1920, he was known and con-
sidered one of the best informed hardware men
in the middle west. In 1907 the business again
outgrew its quarters and the present location
of 115-117 West Jefferson Blvd., was taken and
its growth continued until it is now one of the
largest and most complete retail Hardware es-
tablishments in this section.

S. R. Dunnuck the present proprietor came to
the firm in 1904 as office man and later took
charge of the Builder's Hai'dwaie, making a
study of the details envolved, and developed
this depaitment into what is recognized as one
of the most complete Builder's Hardware de-
partments in Indiana.

The fiim has long been known as importers of
fine Cutlery and Kitchen Wares, and the open-
ing up in 1921 of a new Depaitment of Athletic
Goods, makes the store an attractive one as well
as being complete in all lines of general heavy
and shelf hardware goods.

KUEHN'S SHOE STORE

The word "Kuehn, " in South Bend,
is synonymous with the word "shoes".
That is Shoes of Quality. In other words
when one thinks of shoes the mind in-

O. Kuehn and his beautiful modern shoe
store on South Michigan Street, because
here it is you find shoes of distinctive

THE OLIVER HOTEL

THE Oliver Hotel is owned and managed
by Andrew C. Weisberg, who opens the
door of hospitality to the people of the
world.

es the 100th An-

When South Bend celebrat
niversary of its found-
ing during the summer
of 1923, this world fam-
■ed hotel will have com-
pleted twenty-two years
of unexcelled service to
the people of all climes.

While South Bend has
been growing and tak-
ing its place among the
foremost cities of the
world as a manufactui-
ing center, the ()li\ci
Hotel Management has
been alive to the needs
of the city and has seen
to it that "The Oliver"
has taken its place a-
mong the leading hotels
of the country. It is
the largest hotel in
South Bend and one of
the finest hotels in the
United States.

Under the Oliver Man-
agement one paramount
standard is always in
evidence, the desire to
anticipate your wants.
This is noticed in the
arrangement and fur-
nishing of the guest
rooms and accommoda-
tions generally and in
the service of every department and on the
part of every employee. The guest is made to
feel at home and his comfort and enjoyment
are of the first concern. There is a delightful
atmosphere of informality everywhere and
this, coupled with quality standards that are
unexcelled anywhere, has brought fame and
friends to "The Oliver" and created pleasant
recollections in the mind of the traveling pub-
lic of the progressive city of South Bend.

ANDREW G. WEISBERG
ner And Manager. Oliver Hotel

The Barber Shop, Hair Dressing Parlor,
Valet Service, Taxi Cab Service, Public Sten-
ographer, News Stand and Billiard Room are
all in keeping with the service standards of the
hotel and the prices asked in all departments
are most reasonable.

"Oliver Cuisine" is
noted everywhere for its
excellence. The main
dining room is said to
be one of the most beau-
tifully decorated and
best appointed dining
rooms in the United
States, while the Oliver
Cafeteria is famous
throughout the country
for its delectable dishes
and efficient service at
all hours.

No matter when you
want to dine, "The
Oliver" is all ready
for you. From an early
breakfast to a late
"after the theatre" or
"after the dance" bite,
you will find ready for
you here just the food
to tickle your appetite.

More than half a mil-
lion people dined at the
Oliver during the last
fiscal year, an average
of fourteen bundled peo-
ple each day, and this
public attestation of the
excellent service assures
a policy that is pleasing
to Oliver patrons at all times.

The Oliver Hotel is the meeting place of all
social functions including dances, grand balls,
card parties, etc., and is the headquarters for
noon day luncheons for all the active clubs
in the city.

"Meet Me At The Oliver" is a South Bend
Slogan in which there is more truth than
rythm.

ELECTRIC POWER IN ST. JOSEPH VALLEY

THE INDIANA and Michigan Electric
Company serves a population of 175,-
000 with hght and power. The com-
munities in Indiana supplied by the system
are South Bend, Mishawaka, Elkhart, Ligonier,
Plymouth, Lakeville, LaPaz, Lydick, Rolling
Prairie and LaPorte. The communities served
in Michigan are Niles, Buchanan, Galien,
Three Oaks, New Buffalo, Berrien Springs,
Benton Harbor, St. Joseph, Watervliet, Colo-
ma, Lakeside, Baroda, Eau Claire, Constantine,
Thi-ee Rivers and various other smaller com-
munities. The Company also furnishes power
for the city and interurban railways which
operate in the districts covered by its lines.

The power for this large and comprehensive
system is obtained from five generating sta-
tions, all of which are connected together by
high tension transmission lines which enable
the five plants to be operated together as one
unit and to take care of the demands for light
and power in whatever part of the territory
such demands may arise.

Four of these plants are hydro electric and
one is a steam plant. The hydro electric
plants are all located on the St. Joseph River,
and utilize the whole of the stream flow.
These plants are situated at Elkhart, Twin
Branch, Buchanan and Berrien Springs. The
Elkhart Plant, built in 1913, has a maximum
capacity of 3500 k. w. with a head of 18.5 feet.
The head at Twin Branch averages 23.5 feet
and the installed capacity is 5500 k. w. At
Buchanan the generators have a capacity of
3550 k. w., with a head of 12.5 feet, and at
Berrien Springs there are four generators with
a capacity of 7200 k. w.

The Elkhart and Berrien Springs hydro
electric plants are of recent construction, and
the Buchanan and Twin Branch Plants, which
are of older date, have been thoroughly mod-
ernized in every particular. The highest en-
gineering skill has been devoted to insuring
the stability of the dams, and ample provis-
ion has been made to permit the greatest free-
dom of stream flow during flood conditions.
An extensive improvement for this purpose at
Twin Branch at a cost of $175,000.00 was in-
itiated this summer and is rapidly nearing
completion.

The Company's largest customer is the Stude-
baker Corporation which has a demand of
8500 k. w. and a consumption of 2,500,000
k. w. h. per month. Another large customer
is the Chicago, South Bend & Northern Indiana
Railway Company which operates 95 miles of
traction lines connecting Goshen, Elkhart,
Mishawaka, South Bend, Laporte, Michigan
City and St. Joseph. With the exception of
a few isolated plants which generate their
power from wood waste, the Indiana and Mich-
igan Electric Company furnishes practically
all the power which is consumed in the St.
Joseph Vafley.

The output of the system has shown steady
and swift growth. In 1917 it was 68,000,000
k. w. h. The end of 1922 is expected to see
it 130,000,000 k. w. h. The reliability of the
service for a system of this character is not
surpassed anywhere in the country.

The Indiana and Michigan Electric Company
can be credited with being a large factor in the
building up of all the communities in the St.
Joseph Valley. The low rates for light and
power which prevail, have been the means of
attracting and building up the numerous and
diversified industries in the territory.

The Indiana and Michigan property was
recently acquired by the American Gas and
Electric Company, a corporation which owns
and operates a large number of similar utilities-
throughout the country. In becoming a part of
this large organization, the identity of the old
I. & M. Company will not be submerged and the
standards of service which it has raised and
maintained will be in no way reduced. On the
contrary, its association with the American
Gas & Electric Company will bring to its
command the services of a corps of specialists
which it could not otherwise attract, and re-
sources of every character which formerly
it could not draw upon. This is particularly the
case with reference to ability to expand and to
meet and anticipate, the needs of this flourish-
ing territory for light and power.

The oflicers of the Company are: F. A. Bryan,
President; Thos. F. English. Vice-President;
Geo. N. Tidd, Vice-President; L. C. Mason,
Treasurer; C. B. Calvert, Secretary; John Fer-
guson, General Superintendent.

GEORGE WYMAN & CO.

Established In 1860

JANUARY 1st, 1923, the old and established
business of George Wyman & Co. was taken
over by the organization which had managed
the business since Mr. Wyman's death in 1913.
The new organization has as its president INIr.

Manager of the business since 1898. Mr.
Donald H. Eldredge, Vice-President, will con-
tinue as Advertising and Sales Manager,
positions which he has filled since 1919. Mr.
John J. Gehring, Secretary, continues as con-
troller, a position he has held for a portion of
the 21 years service he has given the company.
Mr. Charles E. Speth, who has been in the
continuous employ of George Wyman & Co.

Incorporated In 1922

for 27 years, continues as Superintendent and
Credit Manager and is Treasurer of the new
corporation. The other directors aie ^Ir.
Frank W. Fritzer, Mr. Frank A. Stevens and
Mr. David Gemberling, who have had re-
sponsible departmental positions for a number
of years.

The store was established on August 14th,
1860, by George Wyman and has had a steady
growth from the beginning, increasing its
selling space with the increase in population
of the city and siurounding country. For 62
years it has been the standard for dependable
merchandise. The unusual growth of the

From a single room in 1860, the store en-
larged its quarters in 1870, and again in 1873,
when it built the original section of its present
location. Additional store rooms were added
in 1905 and 1919. Also during the year 1919
a Daylight Basement was built which has in-

ELBEL BROS.

The House of Music.

THE history of Music in South Bend began
71 years ago with the family of
Elbels. Through three generations,
continuous devotion to high ideals — both artis-
tically and commercially — has made the name
"Elbel" synonomous with "Music" for fifty
miles around. The primai-y purpose of this
family has always been to promote good
music, and through its finest means of interpre-
tation, create a desire for better forms of music.
Whenever good music was desired, the Elbel
Brothers were called upon — bands, orchestras,
playing church organs, directing of choruses and
choirs, etc.

The happiness of the home is unquestionably
brightened by the daily influence of Music. The
high purpose of the Elbel Bros. Music House
is to put good instruments into the homes
of South Bend, Mishawaka and surrounding
territory. When, 37 years ago, the second gen-
eration of this remarkable family decided to es-
tablish a retail Music Store, their ideals and
knowledge of tone were so highly cultivated that
nothing short of the world's finest makes of
Pianos could they conscientiously sell and recom-
mend. The best factories of the industry,
recognizing the extreme Musical prestige of the
Elbel name, have always been anxious, therefore,
to give exclusive representation of their pro-
ducts to this store.

Never standing still, but always a pace
ahead of the growth of the city, this store
today occupies four complete floors — a mod-
ern Music House equalling anything in the
central west — displaying hundreds of instru-
ments. Mr. Lorenz Elbel, nearing his nine-
tieth birthday, is "South Bend's dean of
Musicians." Richard Elbel (founder and
president of the firm of Elbel Bros.) and Rob-
ert Elbel (secretary and treasurer) — sons of
Lorenz Elbel — are still very actively engaged
in the business, and its progress is largely due
to their foresight and high ideals that this in-
stitution has grown to such large proportions.
Donald Elbel (son of Richard — third genera-
tion) entered the business eight years ago,
and through strict application and inherent

ability has advanced to its general manager-
ship — inaugurating modern methods which
have increased the business to a plane far
above the ordinary.

Success can only be measured by performance,
and good will, built by years of square dealing —
attempting never to violate the confidence of a
single customer. Therefore, Elbel Bros, point
proudly to a clientele of 15,000 homes into which
they have sold their fme Pianos, Pianolas, Duo-
Art Reproducing Pianos and Victrolas. This
overwhelming proof of public-confidence is their
greatest rewai'd for untiring effort and strict
application to the development of good music
in this locaUty.

The third generation of the Original Elbel
family is progi-essively helping to "carry on"
this big institution, which is today the largest
and most complete music store in the state of
Indiana. With the strong policies and solid
foundation of this firm and the strong personnel
of their organization, we feel safe in saying that
during the next 71 years the House of Elbel
Bros, will grow and because of service rendered,
will continue to dominate this community as the
outstanding Musical Force.

Music is the one univeisal language understood and loved by all regardless of nationality or creed.
A touch of Music has the power to lighten the heart or draw a tear. Music is a "mood changer" —all
human emotions find in Music their paramount opportunity for adequate expression.

WAR
The House

SOME people are born great, some achieve
greatness, and others have greatness thrust
upon them. Samuel H. Ward, head of
"WARD'S," The House of Style, belongs to
the first two classes.

Being naturally endowed with a quick per-
ception and executive ability he visited South
Bend two years ago seeking a business location.
He found a splendid city located in the center
of our national population; a city of over twenty
thousand homes with beautiful parks, schools
and churches: a city located in the center of
the St. Joseph Valley with a thickly populated
country-side and surrounded by thriving towns
and villages; a city of exceptional transporta-
tion facilities in all directions with good auto-
mobile roads throughout the valley; a city
whose diversified manufacturers had already
become "World Famed"' with thousands of
people employed in the manufacture of their
products; a city whose people had not felt the
depression which had existed in other places
and whose population showed a steady in-
crease. It was enough: Mr. Ward was alive
to the great possibilities of the city as a trading
center and decided forthwith to cast his lot
with those interested in the development of a
greater South Bend.

The beautiful white store at 226 S. Michi-
gan St., known as "WARD'S" The House of
Style, one of the largest Ladies' Apparel Stores
in the country, and the wonderful patronage

INDUSTRIAL

D'S

Of Style

it enjoys from the ladies of the St. Joseph
Valley is a high tribute to the business judg-
ment of Mr. Ward when he decided toMocate
in South Bend.

The building of this beautiful store, however,
was by no means the end of Mr. Ward's task.
He gathered a wonderful organization to keep
his store stocked with the very finest merchan-
dise and the newest styles, and above all,
an organization which carries out the slogan
of his success, "give the people a dollar's worth
for a dollar."

The Ward Store carries every thing in wear-
ing apparel for women. Their buyers are
always in the market looking for new things
and their volume of business is sufficiently
large to enable them to be first in presenting
the newest creations which are in demand.
For this reason it is called "The House of
Style."

The store is under the management of Mans-
field P. Rose, who joined "Ward's" Inc., five
years ago, coming from George Bernard's, 35
S. State St.. Chicago.

The ready-to-wear department is managed
by Francis J. Vogt, who has had ten yeais'
experience in that line, being buyer for Carson,
Pkie Scott and other firms.

The officers of Ward's incorporated, are
S. H. Ward, President; M. P. Rose, Vice-Pres-
ident and J. Ginsberg, Secretary and Treasurer.

ADLFR BROTHERS INC.

A STORE FOR MEN AND BOYS

107-109 South Michigan St. 108 West Washington St.

Since 1884

There is no one store that better empha-
sizes the metropohtan spirit of South Bend,
than Adler Brothers, the representative men's
store of Northern Indiana. It has been lo-
cated on the west side of Michigan and the
north side of Washington streets since 1884,
but the store of today is vastly different from
the store of that period. It is a store that
ranks with the very best of its kind in the
country. It is equipped with the very new-
est and best of store fixtures, all in the Jacob-
ean period design, beautifully finished.

The entire first floor is devoted to hats
and haberdashery for men. The entire
second floor to men's and young men's cloth-
ing and the entire third floor is given over to

the boys and children's department.

In each of the different departments is to
be found the very best of merchandise and
the very newest that the markets afford.

Years ago, Adler Brothers adopted a' busi-
ness policy of offering for sale only dependable
merchandise which they could absolutely
guarantee. This policy has been rigidly
adhered to ever since with the result that the
public has come to know that an Adler Bro-
thers' label on any article of men's or boys'
wear is a certificate of quality of the highest
grade. Another reason for the ever growing
popularity of this store is the fact that their
goods are always sold at the very lowest con-
sistent price.

THE NEW HOiME OF THE ORPHEUM THEATRE VAUDEVILLE

WITH llic opening of the new Palace
'I'lieatic there is relUx-led in this hand-
some. iniliit)n (loiiar structure a civ-
ic pride in providing South Bend with a more
ade(juate liieatn^ for tiie big vaudeville attrac-
tions that an> engaged for this city starting with
the fortlu'oniing season.

The Orpheum Theatre is no longer able to
lake care of the great vaudevilleciientel of this
city. That portion of the amusement seeking
public has outgrown in number lh(> facilities
provided by the old playhouse. And to pro-
mote an even greater interest in variety amuse-
ment than has been manifested heretofore, a
more spacious, more modern and more beauti-
ful playhouse has been (hHlicaled to the pub-

Vaudeville in South Bend became an institu-
tion when the Orpheum Theatre was opened
here in 1910. It has run continuously for the
last twelve years, and the eYoluti(m that has
taken place is even greater than the dreams of
its promoters. In this short space of time there
has been built up a remarkable patronage seek-
ing entertainment in the variety of the theatre.

Vaudeville claims as its enthusiasts people
in every walk of life. It is the most democratic
form of theatrical amusement. Its programs
are so diversified that every taste is satisfied.
And it is (liveisily that llu> thealre-goer wants.
As Wood row \N ilsun said while he was President :
"People (and iVIr. Wilson was proud to number
himself among that vast army of Americans)
go to vaudeville theatres because they want
diversity, a mingling of things they like".

To this city have come some of the foremost
exponents of the varied arts in vaudeville, and
the forthcoming season will bring evenagieat-
er galaxy of stage luminaries than have ever be-

fore been presented here. It is the actor's de-
sire to entertain the audience that best appre-
ciates his efforts, and that is the reason so many
celebrities from the dramatic, musical comedy
and motion picture stages have become stars
in vaudeville.

A new policy of operat ion has been announced
with the opening of the Palace. Instead of giv-
ing a straight vaudeville program with inci-
dental screen news, as were shown at the Or-
pheum, there will be even bigger vaudeville at-
tractions and a feature photoplay, with news
and comedy reels additional each week.

The greatest attractions in vaudeville will
play South Bend starting this season. As con-
spicuous in entertaining value as former vaude-
ville seasons have been here, the opening of the
Palace Theatre will mark a new era in the
standai'd of vaudeville to be provided this city.
Booking arrangements with the Keith and allied
vaudeville interests have been perfected where-
by this city is to secure their most meritorious
attractions, and nothing will be spared to main-
tain this standard permanently.

The photoplay programs will be as preten-
tious as any ofTered in theatres devoted exclu-
sively to motion picture shows. The most pop-
ular stars of the screen will be shown in their
latest releases, and news and comedy reels will
intersperse the picture programs.

With a seating capacity of 2,700, the new
Palace Theatre is able to meet all the require-
ments occasioned by the wonderful expansion
of South Bend. W^ith its consistently low prices,
the innovations of modern theatre building and
the comforts that are v>rovided its patrons, there
will be added by this new theatre another great
epoch in the amusement history of this thriving
nuniicipality.

THE PALACE THEATRE CORPORATION

WHEN Pierre NaVarre built his log cabin
in 1820, it marked an important epoch
in history. He was the first white man
to construct a building where South Bend now
stands and establish a business enterprise which
was the beginning of our present development.

One hundred years
later when Jacob
Handelsman visited
the thriving city of
South Bend, he saw
with a comprehensive
understanding its
wonderful progress in
commerce and indust-
ry, and with that far-
sighted vision almost
prophetic, he was in-
spired with its future
possibilities for a
greater expansion.
This inspiration re-
sulted in the con-
struction of the Black
stone and Palace
Theatres.

These magnificent
Palaces of Amuse-
ment are recognized
as being among the
finest in the Uniled
States and in this, the
One Hundredth Anni-
versary of the found-
ing of South Bend,
they mark distinct
epochs in the history
of theatrical construc-
tion for both the
speaking stage and
for the presentation of photoplays.

Their completion is the fulfillment of Mr.
Handelsman's high ideals and for which he
now receives the laudation of a satisfied pub-
lic.

Mr. Handelsman is a man of great energy
and action and his business ability is of that

high standard which is only developed in the
school of experience. He has an abiding faith
in the continuous upbuilding of South Bend
and the throngs which patronize these play-
houses, attest the soundness of his judgment —
that a city of over twenty thousand homes, is
a city whose population will support the very
best there is in theat-
rical amusements.

In the formation of
the Palace Theatre
Corporation, which
also controls and op-
erates the Oliver The-
atre, Mr. Handels-
man has permanent-
ly identified himself
with the upbuilding
of the city, and has
surrounded himself
with a Board of Di-
rectors of prominence
and efficiency. Mr.
Edgar C. Smith, of the
Kimball Piano Co.,
Chicago, is President;
Judge Samuel Pai-ker,
prominent South
Bend Attorney, Vice
President, Jacob
Handelsman, Secre-
tary and Treasurer ;
John C. Ellsworth,

and Haines Egbert, President of the Elkhart

decorations furnished by Marshall Field & Co.,
of Chicago, is most pleasing to the eye. Old
ivory high-lighted with blue and gold predomi-
nate. Over a thousand
yards of velvet plush
of deep garnet color
soften the outlines of
stage, doors and win-
dows. This luxurious
material has been used
for the curtains of the
stage which open in
the center and are
drawn back in beauti-
ful folds to the sides.
Festooned valences
with cascades are used
on the great windows
of the lobby and on the
smaller windows of the
interior. All the walls
are wrapped in this
soft silk plush. The
teaser curtains of the
stage are also of this
material and they are
richly appHqued in an
intricate design. The
garnet plush hangings
are all lined with heavy
satin of a deep gold
color and a broad fringe
of the same tone of
gold finishes the edges of the draperies.

Every detail of the theatre has been sup-
plied to meet the comfort of the patrons. The
seats are upholstered in leather with air cush-
ions and blend harmoniously with the decora-
tions. There is a play room for children in
charge of a competent nurse. A retiring room
for women equipped with writing tables and
telephone and with a maid in attendance.
There is also a smoking room for men.

The theatre is well equipped with fiie
escapes and has 25 exits.

complete installed in any theatre. It has
over 12,000 electric bulbs which carry a ciu:-
rent of over 1000,000 kilowatts a day when in
full operation. Most magnificent of all the
lights are the three regal chandeliers which
hang in the foyer. They
are of bronze and crys-
tal, ropes of crystal
festooning the old gold
frame work. Each
holds 145 electric bulbs
so arranged that the
effect is that of an im-
mense spai'kling globe
of light.

The lighting of the
stage is an entirely in-
dependent system. It
consists of 1 1,000 lamps
which are used in the
borders and foot lights
and in addition four
spot lights hidden in
front of the balcony
and operated from the
stage.

The stage has a 54
foot opening under the
proscenium and is 109
feet from wall to
wall. The width is 64
feet having a capacity
sufficient to stage the
very largest scenic pro-
ductions or grand opera. It is equipped with
an asbestos fire curtain automatically con-
trolled and connected with auto-sprinklers and
fire alarm boxes which protects the auditorium.

The dressing room arrangement is as com-
plete as that of any modern theatre, being
patterned after the State-Lake, Chicago.
Fourteen dressing rooms, all with outside
windows, are equipped with shower baths and
every modern convenience for the comfort of
the performers. There are special rooms for
animal acts; large property rooms; a musicians'
room and a green room, where the performers
can meet and find recreation between perform-

ances. The entire theatre is connected with
the stage manager's station by a telephone
system, as is each dressing room. An individ-
ual call board will be used to summon the per-
formers. An innovation will be the electrical
annunciators, located on each side of the pro-
scenium arch, making the program announce-
ment by name instead of letter. There aie
two new Kimball pianos on the stage and
another one in the orchestra pit.

A Kimball Pipe Organ costing $25,000.00
built especially for the Palace Theatre, is of a
distinctive type and is replete with all musical
devices and effects.

The new Palace Theatre is now a completed
reality, a mammoth, palatial playhouse of
splendor, comfort and safety. It is a credit
to the city of South Bend and a tribute to
its prosperity and progress. Majestic in all

Interior Decorations and Furnishings

Marshall Field & Co., Chicago.

The interior decorations and furnishings
which add the finishing touches to the Palace
Theatre were executed by the expert interior
decorators of Marshall Field & Company. This
work was done in cooperation with the Or-
pheuni Circuit; and reflects, in its decora-
tions and furnishings, a treatment similar to
that which is characteristic of this group of
theatres.

To actually accomplish this charmingly
distinctive type of interior decorating is a
soui-ce of genuine satisfaction to the organiza-
tions which have done the work; and the de-
corations and furnishings themselves aie silent
but visible factors which will delight and im-
press with the beauty of their surroundings
the thousands who will patronize this theatre.

Marshall Field & Company, through their
Contract Bmeau, have planned and executed
the interior decorations and furnishings for many
theatres, ranging from the small and modest
to the large and pretentious. The Chicago
Theatre, recently opened to the public in
Chicago, is an excellent example of the latter.

Each type of theatre requires its own dis-
tinctive type of interior decorations and furn-
ishings. This individual method of treatment
not only presupposes the comprehensive knowl-
edge of technical experts, but also assures a
finished interior that is in keeping with the
distinctive function of each particular play-
house. Such is the problem that confronts

every serious-minded architect and interior
decorator.

In a very real sense of the word, the archi-
tect is the forerunner of the interior decorator.
He draws the plans for the background which
not only serves as the foundation of the in-
terior decorator's color scheme, but also pro-
vides the various openings which are to be
artistically framed or hung with draperies.
The successful decorator, therefore, is the man
who actually interprets and puts into form and
color the ideals which are latent in the archi-
tecture of every building.

The Palace Theatre Building and the Stores
and Ball Room adjacent to same now under
construction was designed by J. S. Aroner &
Co., Architects and Engineers.

Mr. Aroner attempted to give South Bend
a Theatre and Ball Room designed on par
with the finest structures of their respective
kind, a lasting Monument to South Bend.

Mr. Aroner's past twenty-two years ex-
perience as an Architect and Engineer in de-
signing many successful public and private
structures has made him one of the foremost
men in the profession. He has now under
construction the new Regent Theatre at Grand
Rapids, Michigan, and various other build-
ings of a commendable nature throughout
the country.

Mr. C. H. Law, whose place of business is
located on South State Street, Chicago, 111.,
has a wide reputation as an expert in the in-
stallation of steam heating and power plants
and plumbing and ventilating systems.

During the past thirty years his work has
taken him to the largest jobs in many cities
the latest being the installation of the heating,
plumbing and ventilating system in the new
Palace Theatre at South Bend, Ind.

The system installed in the Palace Theatre
is one of the most complete and scientific
ventilating installations to be found in any
theatre of the United States, as the air cooling
and purifying equipment meets the most
advanced scientific requirements for modern
theatre ventilation.

CO.?V\MERCIAL

INDU>STRIAL

For many years Mr. Law has been recog-
nized as an expert on all matters relating to
sanitary installations and because of his wide
experience along these lines his work will now
be found in many of the lai-ger theatres of
the country including the new Roosevelt
Theatre, Chicago, the Capitol Theatre at
Cincinnatti and also large hotels like the La-
Fayette at Lexington, Ky., and the Hyde
Park Hotel in Chicago.

South Bend Glass Works

This new South Bend industry is rapidly
pushing to the front in its particular line of
work and is becoming a factor in the building
expansion of the city.

The company caters exclusively to glass
work, making a specialty of metal and wood
sash work and metal store fronts. Its recent
contracts of note have been made with the
Palace Theatre, LaSalle Hotel, Buchanan
High School. Tribune Building and the new
plant of the Oliver Chilled Plow Works.

The officers of the company are: F. H. Hoyne,
Pres; C. H. Beyrer, Vice-Pres; W. Wilson,
Sec'y; H. H. Beyrer, Treasurer.

C. H. Defrees is the oldest Mason Supply
Dealer in Northern Indiana, and is one of
South Bend's progressive citizens. Thirty-
six years ago Mr. Defrees started in the pipe
and cement business and operated as a general
contractor in the laying of sewers and street
paving. Here in South Bend he has laid over
thirty miles of brick pavement and many miles
of sewers and macadam roads. He built the
60,000,000 gallon resevoir at the north pump-
ing station in Leeper Park, which at the time
of construction was the largest of its kind in
the United States. During recent years, how-
ever, Mr. Defrees has confined his attention
to Mason Supplies. Face Brick and Coal.
At the present time he owns the largest sup-
ply warehouse and one of the largest coal
yards in Northern Indiana. Up to the pres-

John Beyrer & Sons Roofing Co.

Mr. John Beyrer, the founder of this firm,
was the pioneer in the composition roofing
business in the city of South Bend and Northern
Indiana, having established the business under
his own name in 1890.

With the rapid growth of the city and in-
creased building operations the business flour-
ished and on January 1. 1921 , was incorporated
under the name of John Beyrer & Sons Roof-
ing Co., J. R. Beyrer becoming Vice-President
and J. L. Beyrer becoming Secretary and
Treasurer.

At the present time this company is one of
the largest of its kind in the state and its
volume of business annually is larger than

The company is a member of the United
Roofing Contractors Association, and among
some of the large roofing contracts may be
mentioned the Palace Theatre, La Salle Hotel,
Union Trust Co., Oliver Hotel, Citizens Bank,
Blackstone Theatre and many others.

George J. Hoffman Co.

This company of which Mr. George J. Hoff-
man is the head, deals exclusively in washed
sand and gravel, and are general contractors

for grading and excavating. With the in-
creased building operations in the city of South
Bend the business of this company has been
greatly augmented as they have operated in
the construction of most of the large build-
ings including the new million dollar Palace
Theatre. With the installation of a new
Gravel Screen and Washer this company is
now able to turn out seven hundred and fifty
tons a day.

The process of screening and washing gravel
is a most interesting one to those unfamiliar
with the method. The gravel is loaded on to
the cars by an immense steam shovel which
carries 2,600 pounds each load. The cars
of gravel are conveyed to where the gravel is
dumped into a hopper set in the track and
thence fed on to a pulley which conveys it
to the first screen. This screen is the fii'St of
three revolving screens and as the gravel is
thrown into it the oversized stones are held
back and dumped into the "gryocore" breaker
which crushes the rocks to the required size.
The company has the contract for supplying
gravel for the Lincoln Highway and other
large contracts for sewers and grading.

LET'S TALK LUMBER

IN THE lumber world South Bend has an
enviable position because it lies almost in
the center of the two hundred mile radius
which is frequently described as marketing
and consuming 50 per cent of the total southern
pine manufactiued. This 200 mile radius in-
■cludes such cities as Chicago, Detroit, Grand
Rapids, Toledo and Cleveland.

The South Bend Lumber Company with its
■wholesale department, the St. Joseph Valley
Lumber Company, a separate corporation,
markets annually more than fifty million feet
of the lumber coming into the above described
territory. More than seventy-five employees
make up the force at the South Bend yards
and offices, of these companies and are housed
in a new two-story brick building on East
LaSalle Avenue at Emerick and the Michigan
Central tracks. At the Ackerman and Long-
view, Mississippi, plants of the St. Joseph
Valley Lumber Company, one hundred and
twenty-five men are employed. From these
plants are supplied the yards at South Bend
and many other retail yards in the suiTOunding
territory as well as furniture, woodworking
and automobile plants in the north and east.
The personnel of the company consists of G.
W. Ziegler, President, R. H. Downey, Vice-
President and General Manager, John U.
Riley, Secretary and Arthur C. Gau, Treasurer.

The retail department is the South Bend
Lumber Company. This branch of the busi-
ness carries a complete line of dimension
lumber, timbers, sash, doors, roofings, paints,
hardware, glass, screens, etc. A modern and

thoroughly up-to-date planing mill manufac-
tures trim to fit the most exacting needs.
From a very small beginning twenty years ago
when G. W. Ziegler first came to South Bend
and started in business at 318 North Emerick
St., to the present yard covering more than half
a city block gives proof of the progress of the
company and the success of its efforts to keep
pace with the phenomenal growth of the city.
Today the company has probably the largest
industrial trade in the city doing a great part
of it business with the local manufacturers in
the form of export crates.

Mr. Ziegler came to South Bend from Roch-
ester, Indiana, and began work with the
Boyd-Hodson Lumber Company. Here he
secured his first practical experience and to
use his own words, "worked as a roustabout
in the yard and clerked in the office." Three
years later this company liquidated and
Mr. Zeigler bought part of the company's
property and started in business for himself.
Since then the growth has been one of con-
sistent progress. The officers are G. W. Zieg-
ler. President; R. H. Downey, Vice-President;
H. J. Holland, Secretary and John U. Riley,
Treasurer. The company is the sole represen-
tative in this territory of the Curtis Companies,
Incorporated, of Clinton, Iowa, manufac-
tijtrers of exterior and interior doors, windows,
sash and standardized interior trim, stairways
and built-in furniture. This includes a plan
service free of chai-ge to the homebuilder and
gives a selection of more than six hundred
plans by the foremost architects of America.

THE JOHNSON lAIOTOR CO.

IT IS TO the primitive love of man for out-
door water sports that the Johnson Motor
company appeals in marketing the "John-
son," World-famed as the 'Tightest Out-
board Motor in the World." It is indispen-
sable to the fisherman, the vacationist, the
boating enthusiast. It weighs only 35 pounds,
merely a good handful — yet develops two
horsepower. Comes apart in a few seconds,
fits snugly into a steel case about like a large
suit case, slides under a Pullman seat or packs
handily with other luggage in the car.

The Johnson is a real South Bend product,
built entirely in the Johnson plant, from the
Quick Action flywheel magneto, to the real
float-feed patented carburetor, and the hard-
ened and heat treated shafts and bevel gears.
The toughest and strongest modern metals
scientifically treated, are machined with the
most up-to-date equipment, assembled by
skilled and trained workmen, tested for hours
in actual operating service, and turned out
in quantities as the most complete, silent,
snappy, and smooth twin-cylinder motor on
the market. Such exclusive features as the
free and automatic tilt which lifts easily over

which permits of driving the boat in any

automatic locking device; quick takeapart;

all incorporated in the motor as standard

complete motor ready to load up with gas and
oil and go to work.

In the far off jungle rivers of Africa, the

BACK in the old days — "goin' fish-
ing" required little preparation
aside from a "can o' worms" and a
cane pole. They were great days though
— days which now live only in memory,
but which are often referred to as "The
Days of Real Sport."

However, those days are not really goae.
Time has but changed our angling methods.
Nowadays, they're "The Days of Reel Sport"
— the days of going after game - fish with
the proper tackle, such as is shown here.

Send for our books "Fishing — What Baits
and When" and "Fly Rod Lures". Every fisher-
man should have them. South Bend Tackle for
sale at all sporting goods dealers.
