GIVE US YOUR ORDER NOW. A Letter to the Taxpayers of New Trier Township: *' Wilmette, 111., Feb. 14, 1918. To the Taxpayers of New Trier Township: The undersigned taxing bodies and beneficiaries of taxes now due in New Trier Township, both per- sonal and real estate, appeal to you individually for immediate payment of such taxes to Mr. Hoyt King, Township Collector, in his office, First National Bank of Wilmette. Conditions due to the war call for availability of funds and present an unusual apportunity for the practical demonstration of civic patriotism. More- over, by early performance of this public duty, you save a possible township levy because the interest on the money and a percentage of receipts apply to township expenses. Again, you prevent the necessity on the part of your Village, your schools and your local bodies of borrowing money and paying interest thereon. ' Yours respectful\y, Louis K. Gillson, President of the Wil- mette Park Board. F. W. Penfield, President of the Vil- lage of Glencoe. Sherman M. Booth, President of Glencoe Park District. William D. McKenzie, ..
