This measure will make it possible to 'bring the entire world to our doorstep when the St. Lawrence Seaway is completed. Modeled after the Chicago Port- District Act, the Waukegan Act provides for the appointment by the governor and by the mayor of five "commissioners to administer the affairs of the port district. The commissioners are To provide an adequate harbor, . piers, warehouses and other nec- • essary* facilities. Although there I', is no au&hority to levy taxes or f issue general obligation bonds, unless first approved at a public referendum, it is expected that the port revenues will be sufficient to defray the cost of all necessary improvements. Accordingly, installations will be financed With bonds -- and not at the taxpayers' expense. Waukegan has many natural advantages that should make it a busy port for inland and ocean going vessels. It is a growing industrial area and a natural center of the'rich agricultural country which flourishes in northern Illinois "Waukegan is served by the Chicago and North Western Railrqad and by the Elgin, Joliet and ^Eastern railroad (whose tracks skirt the waterfront) Several leading motor, freight lines also serve "this area. Thus, the problem of getting manufactured goods, raw materials and agricultural products to and from the port, should not be a difficult one. Governor Stratton recognized the state-wide importance of port development at Waukegan by referring to it in his message to the legislature and by making -^fchis part of his legislative program. Brad West, Jr., of Waukegan and his waterways committee of the Waukegan-North Chicago Chamber "of Commerce are the principal spark-plugs behind the port district planning. Mr. West, Mayor Robert E. Coulson of Waukegan, Alderman. Jack Smith and others will meet with Governor Stratton ngxt Tuesday to iron out final pl^ns for the port of- Waukegan. The Senate municipalities committee will consider the bill at a hearing later in the day. Every farmer, business man and industrialist in northern Illinois should consider the port of Waukegan in their future planning. Indeed, persons planning a leisurely cruise of the Mediterranean or Caribbean should also realize that they soon may be able Co board their ocean going cruise ships at Waukegan. When the St. Lawrence Seaway is completed in 1961, the Port of Waukegan should1 be in full operation, and ready to receive and* deliver the sea-going passengers and cargoes which will travel this new route.

SALES CORP., Clerk Union Grove, Wis. 198 r Acting on a 20"lfetr-0ld- Decision ! Let's suppose it was a couple of decades ago when a young lad, with his book strap over his shoulder and his lunch basket under his arm, started slowly down a dusty road that led to a country schoolhouse. But his walk was short that day. For a big, handsome Cadillac--with its/ smiling driver traveling in the lad's direction--stopped and gave him a "lift." And as he stood there on the schoolhouse lawn and watched the big, beautiful car roll off into the distance, he made a decision. He decided that, some day, he would own a Cadillac. And here you see him, his dream come true, standing in the showroom of his Cadillac dealer --taking the keys to a new Cadillac! * * * As a Cadillac dealer, we've been privileged many times to help make such a dream come true. And it never ceases to be a thrill. But we do feel, in all sincerity, that many motorists--not realizing the Cadillac car is practical as well as wonderful--wait too long to make the move. The lowest-priced Cadillac, for example, actually costs less than twelve different models of other makes. Its economy of operation is fa£r beyond anything you could logically anticipate from a car of Cadillac's size and luxury. And at the time of resale, a Cadillac traditionally returns a greater share of its owner's investment than any other car in the land. If, like the gentleman in the picture above, you have been looking forward to a Cadillac of your own--you should give careful consider-* ation to these remarkable Cadillac facts, It is entirely possible that the time for your Cadillac has come--and, as we said, it is always a pleasure to help make such a dream come true* Better come in and see us today* OVERTON CADILLAC PONTIAC Co McHENRY.
