Recognized as the Leading

City of the Gas Belt.

The Indianapolis News Gives Us a Four

Column Write-Up

The Indianapolis News last even­ing gave Muncie a four column write­-up, to which they give the following preface:

"'Magic Muncie' is the name which the inhabitants of the county seat of Delaware county have given to their city. The aptness of the title is appreciated by those who knew the Muncie of five years ago and who know the Muncie of today. There is so little resemblance between the two that old citizens who have lately re­turned to the place after an absence of a few years have gone about in perplexity, seeking familiar landmarks.

Muncie has been fortunate in at­tracting the favorable attention of eastern capitalists who have been seeking a location for the investment of money. The result has been that a vast amount of wealth from the East has been transferred to the Ind­iana town, and with it have come men of energy and resources, and the ability to handle large affairs. In the solidity and extent of the town’s de­velopment it has no superior in the gas field.”

The article was a meritorous one, and the factory review a truthful statement of matters as they exist today.
