Statuesday - Good ol Gary

The postcard of the day is probably from the 1960. It is o of Judge Elbert H. Gary. Never heard of him? Yeah, he is obscure. But the city named after him is no: Gary, Indiana
It has a song named after it, as well. And it mentions this Judge.

"Gary, Indiana! 
What a wonderful name, 
Named for Elbert Gary of judiciary fame. 
Gary, Indiana, as a Shakespeare would say, 
Trips along softly on the tongue this way-- 
Gary, Indiana, Gary Indiana, Gary, Indiana, 
Let me say it once again...."
