Homes

Indianapolis has long been recognized as a city of homes. Ac- cording to the 1940 Census, 35% of the 112,231 families living in Indianapolis owned their homes. A 1944 post-office survey showed that there were at that time 106,394 residences and 15,783 apart- ment units in Indianapolis, or a total of 122,177 residential units.

Streets

Streets of Indianapolis are wide, well-paved and level. All down-town streets are 90 feet wide, and Washington St., which is the leading business street, is 120 feet wide. The movement of automobile traffic has been facilitated by the designation of pre- ferential speedways for passenger cars only. Heavy traffic thor- oughfares 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 heavy passenger car traffic.

The Indianapolis Motor Speedway is the foremost motor race-course in the world. The annual Memorial Day 500-Mile Race attracts drivers and more than 150,000 spectators from all parts of America and Europe.

National Headquarters

More than forty organizations maintain national headquarters in Indianapolis. The American Legion, International Typographic- al Union, Barbers' International Union, United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America, Knights Templar, United Christian Missionary Society, National Retail Hardware Associa- tion and many others have chosen Indianapolis after exhaustive investigation of cities of the United States. Thirty-eight insur- ance companies serve their clients from Indianapolis. Greek letter organizations realize the advantages of a central location and six are at this time serving their membership from this city.

General

Indianapolis is located near the center of both the corn and wheat belts of America. This fact has made Indianapolis the fourth largest corn market in the United States and also one of the leading wheat centers. The Indianapolis Board of Trade is one of the six largest grain markets in the country. The super- vision of a business involving $40,000,000 a year is entrusted to this organization. The following were handled through Indian- apolis in 1945: 13,081,000 bushels of wheat, 27,110,000 bushels of corn, 4,207,000 bushels of oats, 310,000 bushels of rye, and 5,258,000 bushels of soybeans. The principal agricultural products of the territory surrounding Indianapolis, in addition to wheat, corn, oats, rye and soybeans, are dairy products, beef, mutton, pork, fruit, potatoes, poultry and eggs, hay and canning vegetables.

Produce and fruits are raised extensively in the districts sur- rounding Indianapolis, and furnish raw materials for canning factories and packing and preserving plants.

The Union Stock Yards in Indianapolis is one of the largest markets of its kind in the country. It ranks fourth among hog markets and twelfth among cattle markets. Daily capacity of the yards is 10,000 cattle, 3,000 calves, 30,000 hogs, and 8,000 sheep. Products of Indianapolis meat packers exceed $180,000,000, normal production.

One of the older Army posts in the country, Fort Benjamin Harrison, covering 2,415 acres, is located six miles northeast of the Indianapolis city limits.

Billings General Hospital, adjoining Fort Benjamin Harrison, has a capacity of 1,650 beds. It is now used by the U. S. Veterans Administration for treatment of convalescent veterans.

Stout Field, headquarters of the AAF First Troop Carrier Command during the war, covering 375 acres, is located five miles southwest of the center of the business district. It is headquarters of the Indiana National Guard Air Wing and AAF Reserve train- ing center.

A Naval armory, training center for the Indiana Naval Re- serve, built at a cost of more than half a million dollars, is one of the country's most modern inland Naval training schools.

Indianapolis has three daily newspapers, one of which pub- lishes a Sunday edition. In addition to this, a daily commercial newspaper, several weeklies and a number of neighborhood publi- cations are published here.

Five radio stations carry the "Voice of Indianapolis" to the world. WIRE, WFBM, WISH, WIBC and WABW are, from a civic standpoint, outstanding achievements for the city. A census in 1940 showed 180,282 radios in Marion County.

A large municipal market helps to reduce the cost of living in this most ideal residence city.

Funds for the maintenance of the city's charities are secured through the Community Fund.

The achievements of such Indianapolis personages as Benja- min Harrison, James Whitcomb Riley, Meredith Nicholson, Booth Tarkington, Thomas R. Marshall, Charles W. Fairbanks and Al- bert J. Beveridge 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 work of James Whitcomb Riley, the beloved Hoosier poet.

Indianapolis is characteristically a city of sociability. Per- vaded by the well-known spirit of Hoosier hospitality, this city stands high as a social and cultural center.

Nine Indianapolis clubs own their own buildings. Four of these are conveniently located in the down-town district. Each of these serves a particular function in the city's social life and is supported by a substantial membership.

Ten country clubs, located in private estates, maintaining swimming pools, golf links and tennis courts, add to the social life of the city.

The slogan, "The Crossroads of America," is appropriate. With- in 70 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 plain extending from the Great Lakes on the north to the

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 tele- scope to see the whole at once, and at the same time, with a microscope, to search out the details. It encourages and co-ordin- ates individual efforts, and takes its prominent place in all worth- while community activities. The Chamber of Commerce is the guide, philosopher and friend of the home city and the com- munity. 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 organization through which public-spirited citizens in a com- munity may express themselves collectively on questions of com- munity 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.
