COEMMRCIAL CLUB BUILDING 28 SOUTH MERIDIAN STREET


A COMMERCIAL AND CIVIC ORGANIZATION composed of the leading business and professional men of the city, which stands for the betterment of Indianapolis. Its mission is to give encouragement in a public way to every branch of manu- facture and trade ; to lend its influence in shaping legislation in the interest of Indianapolis and the State at large ; to advertise the city and exploit its many advantages as a manufacturing center and place of residence. Information relative to Indianapolis will be furnished on application to

Indianapolis of To-Day


As Viewed by the Commercial Club


Fire protection and water supply are of the very best.


Indianapolis is the fifth largest publishing city in America.


Indianapolis is noted for its freedom from labor strikes and disturb- ances.


All freight depots are located in the heart of the city, within a radius of four squares.


A Belt Railroad surrounds the city, expediting shipments and furnish- ing factory sites.


It has one hundred and seventy-five churches, with a membership of seventy thousand.


Indianapolis is the sixth city in the United States as a pork and beef packing house center.


Indianapolis has an area of 30.77 square miles, the elevation above sea- level varying from 714 to 832 feet.


. One-fourth of the population of the United States is within a radius of three hundred miles of Indianapolis.


There are eight public parks within the city limits, covering 1,311 acres, and three just outside, with 310 acres.


Our two-million-dollar United States Court House and Post Office is the most modern and complete in America.

INDIANAPOLIS TO-DAY


Indianapolis has the largest and most imposing monument ever erected by any government in honor of its soldier dead.


Four hundred and eighty-five steam and electric passenger trains enter our Union Station and Traction Terminal daily.


We have at the present time 168 miles of sewers, with sanitary condi- tions the best ; 125 miles of paved streets, and 255 miles of water mains.


Headquarters of the Independent and Bell Telephone systems. Rates for offices and stores, $2.00 to $3.50 per month ; residences, $1.50 to $2.00.


Forty-five hotels afford accommodations to all visitors, even during the many conventions that are held here, and which are of such frequency as to average one for each day in the year.


There is no better labor market in the world. There are 45,500 people employed in the city by the manufacturing industries. Of this number fully 30,000 may be called skilled mechanics.


Indianapolis has one hundred and fifty-five miles of electric street rail- road, under one system (at a four-cent fare, with transfer), a greater mileage in proportion to the population than that of any other city.


The honor of being the largest inland city in the country still rests with Indianapolis. Situated within thirty-five miles of the center of popu- lation, and possessing a most wonderful system of steam and electric rail- roads, it has a location of unsurpassed advantage.


Indianapolis made wonderful progress in 1908 in a commercial way. Many new industries were established, both in manufacturing and mer- cantile lines. There are to-day fully 1, 100 manufacturing plants employ- ing five or more persons-some of them giving employment to 2,000 persons.


Indianapolis is recognized by educators as having a model school sys- tem. Visitors come to our city daily to investigate its merits. We have sixty-five public schools, two high schools (one academic and one manual training), four colleges and academies, a large central library, with eight branch stations.


74


INDIANAPOLIS TO-DAY


Indianapolis has seven national banks, with an aggregate capital of five million dollars, and surplus and undivided profits of over three million. Two of the national banks have a capital of $1,000,000 each, and one of $1,500,000. The total resources of the national banks and trust companies aggregate $70,000,000.


This city is the greatest interurban center in the world, all the lines terminating in the magnificent Traction Terminal Station, which is the only exclusive station for electric lines in the world. By means of steam and trolley transportation one and one-half million people are within two hours' ride of Indianapolis.


The largest industries of Indianapolis are engine and boiler shops, mill machinery and saw manufactories, structural iron and bridge works, foun- dries and machine shops, carriage and automobile manufactories, beef and pork packing houses, cotton and woolen mills. However, we can claim that no city, possibly, in the world, has a larger variety of industries.


The census shows that the city within her corporate limits has a popu- lation of less than 250,000 people, but the network of steam and electric roads centering in Indianapolis, offering very low passenger rates, and quick, convenient transportation, together with the attractive features of the retail stores themselves, make the city the principal shopping center for a territory inhabited by two million people.


Indianapolis has long been known as the city of homes. A relatively greater number of residents own their homes than in almost any other American city. There is a total absence of the foreign floating element, and of the disturbances frequently found in the various seaboard and in- terior ports. This is not a closely built city, and with its wide streets and alleys, the 'various houses receive an unusual amount of air and sunshine.


Indianapolis is within fifty miles of the most extensive coal fields in America, and is the center of the Indiana coal trade, which is daily grow- ing into larger volume. The main offices of nearly all the Indiana coal mines are located at Indianapolis, and the contracts for the production of coal are made here. Steam coal for factory use is laid down at the plant of the consumer at about $1.25 per ton, a price which is not duplicated, qual- ity considered, by any other city of our class.

R. L. POLK & CO.'S Indianapolis City Directory 1909


STREET AND AVENUE GUIDE (Copyright 1909)


"HE Street Directory is an alphabetical arrangement of the names of the Streets and Avenues of T


the city. By the decimal system of numbering houses adopted in this city, one hundred numbers are allotted to each square. On streets running north and south the numbering be- gins at Washington street. The streets running east and west are numbered East and West from Meridian street. All other streets not commencing at either of the above points are numbered in accordance with this system. The names and numbers of intersecting streets and avenues are given in the order in which they occur, which enables one to tell between what streets a certain number is. For instance, you have 820 Harlan street: by reference to the Street Directory, you find 500 at Lexington av. and 900 at Pleasant street ; consequently, the place you wish to fiud is between Lex- ington av. and Pleasant street.
