Shop early and mail early. It goes double. Buy your Christmas gifts early and mail them early. Wrap your Christmas package securely. Address it fully and plainly. Put your return address m the upper left-hand corner. Then mail the package early. This advice is for everybody but especially for those who are eending gifts to far-,o ff places like New York, San Francisco, and China. Two splendid reasons for shopping early and mailing early. Here they come : ( 1) Your gift will reach its destination .on time. (2) You will make the Christmas load lighter for the postal clerks and postmen.

Wilmette is to have a modern electric street lighting system. That's settled. The dirt will soon be flying. A Wilmette man starting now on an extended tour of the world will, if he return at night, find a transfigured Wilmette.· He will think that by some strange mistake he has been set down in New York's great white way. Looking down one of our busy thoroughfares he will be convinced that he is viewing a Christmas illumination. One improvement that Wilmette has made over the lighting system of tier ister suburbs is the unde ound feature. All cables and wires wUl be hidden in underground conduits.

The Maintenance of Way department, for instance, is composed of men who thor. . oughly know their business. It is the duty of this department to constantly inspect every foot of North Shore track from Chicago to Milwaukee- to keep the 100 lb. rails and rock- ballasted roadbed in first class condition. Classes are held after the day's work on every detail of maintaining tracks. For foreign-born employees, there are classes in language and American citizenship. North Shore section men are literally specialists in their line of work. Safety instruction is given by a Safety Director in a lecture car which travels over the line. oi val · \\il .ChicagoNorthShore andMilwaukeeR.R.Co. Wilmette Puaenaer Station Tel.plaaae Wilmette ZS14
