Homes


Data compiled by the United States Bureau of the Census in 1920 showed Indian- apolis to have 228 homes per 1,000 population. This is an average of less than five persons per residential unit, and gives Indianapolis more homes per 1,000 than any other city over 200,000 population in the United States. It is estimated that approximately 40% of the families own their own homes. According to a recent post office survey there were 98,600 residences and 12,400 apartment units in Indianapolis, a total of 111,000 living units, with approximately 1,300 under construction.


Streets


Streets of Indianapolis are wide, well-paved and level. All downtown streets are 90 feet wide, and Washington Street, which is the leading business street, is 120 feet wide. The movement of automobile traffic has been facilitated by the designation of preferential speedways for passenger cars only. Heavy traffic thoroughfares have been established also, though not for exclusive use. The purpose is to provide through trucking routes from one section of the city to another, and at the same time to divert this heavy traffic from the thoroughfares having passenger car congestion.


Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument


The Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument, located in the heart of the city, is recog- nized as one of the finest pieces of colossal sculpture in the United States. It was built in the years 1887-1901, at a cost of approximately $600,000. It is 284 feet high and is the second tallest monument in the United States. The Washington Monument in Washington, D. C., stands 555 feet.


War Memorial Plaza


The City of Indianapolis, Marion County, and the State of Indiana have joined hands to provide the wonderful Memorial Plaza, which includes five city blocks in the heart of our state capital. The memorial building proper has a base of 180 feet square, with a tower approximately 50 feet square rising to a height of 230 feet. This building

INTRODUCTION


INDIANA WORLD WAR MEMORIAL


-an everlasting tribute to those who gave to their country their services and to those who made the supreme sacrifice-has been constructed of Indiana limestone. The entire Plaza to cover five full city blocks when completed, will represent an expenditure of over $10,000,000.


Indianapolis Motor Speedway


The Indianapolis Motor Speedway is the foremost brick motor race-course in the world. The annual Decoration Day Sweepstakes attract drivers and more than 125,000 spectators from all parts of America and from Europe.


General


Indianapolis is located in the center of both the corn and wheat belts of America. This fact has made Indianapolis the second largest corn market in the United States and also one of the leading wheat centers. A grain exchange is maintained by the Indianapolis Board of Trade to handle these and other grains. The following were handled through Indianapolis in 1928: 4,583,000 bushels of wheat, 26,072,000 bushels of corn and 12,652,000 bushels of oats. The principal agricultural products of the territory surrounding Indianapolis, in addition to wheat, corn and oats, are dairy products, beef, mutton and pork, fruit, potatoes, poultry and eggs, hay, rye and canning vegetables. These products exceed $250,000,000 annual value. Produce and fruits are raised ex- tensively in the districts surrounding Indianapolis, and furnish raw materials for can- ning factories and packing and preserving plants.


The Indianapolis Board of Trade is one of the six largest grain markets in the coun- try. More than 35,000 cars of grain were handled last year, and in excess of 400,000 barrels of flour are produced annually. The supervision of a business involving $55,- 000,000 a year is entrusted to this organization.


The Union Stock Yards in Indianapolis is one of the largest markets of its kind in the country. Following are stock yard receipts for the year 1929: Hogs, 2,145,406; cattle, 255.169; calves, 173,534; sheep, 269,728.


One of the largest army posts in the country, Fort Benjamin Harrison, covering 2,415 acres, is located six miles northeast of Indianapolis.


Indianapolis has three daily newspapers, one of which publishes a Sunday edition. In addition to this, we have a daily commercial news paper, several weeklies and a num- ber of regular neighborhood publications.

INTRODUCTION


Two radio stations carry the "Voice of Indianapolis" to the world. WFBM and WKBF are, from a civic standpoint, outstanding achievements for the city of Indian- apolis. A large municipal market helps to reduce the cost of living in this most livible city. Funds for the maintenance of the city's charities are secured through the Com- munity Fund.


The achievements of such Indianapolis personages as James Whitcomb Riley, Meredith Nicholson, Booth Tarkington, Thomas R. Marshall, Charles W. Fairbanks, Albert J. Beveridge, and Benjamin Harrison speak well for the city's culture and its spirit of endeavor. Indianapolis long will be remembered as the birthplace of many cherished poems known all over the United States as the works of James Whitcomb Riley, the great Hoosier poet.


Indianapolis is characteristically a city of sociability. Pervaded by the well-known spirit of Hoosier hospitality and culture, this city stands high as a social and cultural center. Nine Indianapolis clubs own their own buildings. Four of these are conveni- ently located in the downtown district. Each of these serves a particular function in the city's social life and is supported by a substantial membership.


The slogan, "The Cross Roads of America," is appropriate. Within sixty miles, to the southwest, is the center of population of the United States. At a less distance, to the northeast, is the center of manufacture. The nation's east and west traffic must traverse the level plain extending from the Great Lakes on the north to the Ohio River on the south. A large volume of this through traffic, both automobile and rail, passes through Indianapolis. The National Road and the Dixie Highway cross here. Indianapolis is truly the crossroads.

THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE


The one organization in a community which upholds the ideals of good citizenship, right living and active co-operation among individuals and organizations making up the city's life is the Chamber of Commerce. It surveys the community with a telescope to see the whole at once, and, at the same time, with a microscope, to search out the details. It encourages and co-ordinates individual efforts, and takes its prominent place in all worth-while community activities. It spells is mission in life, "Give," not "Get." The Chamber of Commerce is the guide, philosopher and friend of the home city and the community. With this background in mind, any community must thoroughly realize that the efforts of community upbuilding tend toward evolution. It, therefore, becomes of the utmost importance to each of us to realize that the Chamber of Commerce is an organ- ization through which public-spirited citizens in a community may express themselves collectively on questions of community welfare and through which they may make their collective desires effective. Cities do not happen-co-operation builds them. In business, as in life, he gets most out of it who gives most to it. The dividends are based on the investment.
