Mr. Wolff became a Wilmette resident as a worker in the shops of the Hub- ble and Jenkins tinshop at 629 West Railroad avenue. In 1916 he took over the business establishing the concern under the present name. The first location of the business was in a small frame building at 629 West Railroad avenue, gradual progress followed in which the business was next housed at 1168 Wilmette avenue, | later at 1124 Central avenue, and yet | later at 615 West Railroad avenue. In March of 1920 a tornado prac- tically demolished the West Railroad avenue structure and the business was shifted to 3 Electric place. Prior to this time Mr. Wolf constructed spacious work shops and warehouse | at the rear of 1124 Greenleaf avenue Mr. Wolff is a man of varied inter- | ests and activities. He is fire mar-| shal for the village of Wilmette. | Prior to his election to that office he was a member of the Wilmette volunteer fire department, starting as a pipeman and steadily advancing to the position of supreme command. Mr. Wolff has been identified with the New Trier Commercial. associa- tion uninterruptedly since its organ- ization and is at present a director of the association and members of the Membership committee.

STEINKAMP & CO., IS HEADQUARTERS FOR DUNHILL PIPE Tobaccos suited to the taste of the most discriminating smokers have been brought to the north shore by Steinkamp & Co., located at 6241-2 Davis street, Evanston. Gratifying to the golfer who draws on the briar and he "tees off and fol- lows the ball" all over the course, is the happy information that at Steinkamp's may be had the famous Dunhill imported pipe. known to every fraternity man the country over and to particular pipe smokers in every section of the so- called civilized world, is manufac- tured in London, England. It is of the briar root found in Calabria on "the toe of Italy," and centuries old. Steinkamp enjoys the exclusive sale of the Dunhiil pipe in the territory north of Evanston to the state line. It may be said, also, that Stein- kamps is headquarters for the high- est grade pipe mixtures on the to- bacco markets. The best line of Ha- vana goods and cigarettes of the best possible grade are in stock. Steinkamp, proprietor, is reputed a tobacconist of the first order. He talks toboccos with the knowledge of a connoisseur. He has had a score of years' experience in the tobacco line. He has been established on the north shore for six months. The Dunhill | the art galleries and shops of Eu- rope, have been charmed by the work of the craftsmen of the old world. A visit to the Cellini Shop in Evan- ston will remind one of these delight- ful shops in Europe. Here one may find examples of hand craft, especi- ally appropriate for home adorn- ment and for the pleasing purposes of personal giving. In their own workroom the young men who conduct the Cellini Shop, create distinctive jewelry. Their productions are accepted as among the best in execution and design. The efforts of these young men to | encourage American craftsmen and their interest in home decoration is gratifying, and the attractiveness of their shop is noteworthy. HOLD A. A. U. CONTEST UNDER K. OF C. AUSPICES The Knights of Columbus who won nation-wide fame for their welfare and athletic work among the Yanks in France have taken over the ad- ministration of the Central associa- tion of the A. A. U. senior track and field meet, which will be held at Stage field, Chicago, August 28, starting at 2:15 p. m. Special interest attaches the two "Casey" contests, the 100-yard dash and the mile relay; since both these events will be suburban councils versus the city. Knights of Chicago and neighboring sections are deeply interested in the efforts to organize representation in these events. The official A. A. U. championship pro- gram of twenty events also will be run off and there will be an exhibition wrestling match which will be refer- eed by Jack Dempsey, world's heavy- weight boxing champion. WINNETKA WOMAN TALKS TO JUSTICE, CONTINUE CASE Because of her convincing argument Mrs. J. W. Prindiville, 390 Chestnut street, Winnetka, won a continuance of her case Wednesday when she ap- peared before Justice D. M. Mickey on a charge of driving her car at 29 miles an hour. Mrs. Prindiville stated that the speedometer on her car registered only 24 miles an hour and so convinc- ing was her story that the case was continued until next Tuesday to per- mit ample time to have the speedo- meter tested.

In some countries, the article con- tinues, the high price of silver led to the melting and sale of hoards of sil- ver accumulated during the. war and even to the melting and sale of coins still in circulation. Some countries in order to retain their small change were forced to lessen the amount of silver in their subsidiary coinage or to substitute coins of base metal for silver. As a result of these develop- ments, the demand for the metal coinage purposes slackened, and to- day the dependence of the world on silver for coins is less widespread than it was. The bank emphasizes as an portant factor in the high price of silver the decline in production, par- ticularly in Mexico, where, largely because of political disturbances, the output fell from 71,000,000 ounces in The Best Place to Trade HUBBARD WOODS CASH GROCERY TRL TL 901 Linden Avenue Telephone Winnetka 400 im- atmosphere has cleared, will be at least as large as before."
