WINNETKA, ILLINOIS, SATURDAY, AUGUST 19, 1922 = PRICE FIVE CENTS Township Awaits Biggest New Trier Day IN REANATION TO HELP BUSHES New Trier Commercial Asso- ciation of Material Benefit to All Merchants GIVE CREDIT RATINGS Association Interested in Civic Affairs New Trier Day has always been con- sidered the one day of the year when business men of New Trier Township get together on a co-operative basis to demonstrate to the public of the town- ship shat merchants are doing some- thing besides bartering over the counter. Yet, many of the more progressive business men of the township are en- gaged throughout the year, through the medium of the New Trier Com- mercial association, in projecting plans fer civic improveinent and promotion of the best interests of the township. Credit Rating System In addition to its civic activities, the New Trier Commercial association renders a distinct service to the mer- chant or professional man affiliated with the organization. Reference is to an excellent credit rating bureau that is proving of material benefit to both the merchant and the conscien- tious customer. The association recemtly established an office in the Brown building, Wil- mette and Central avenues, Wilmette, which is a veritable bureau of informa- tion for business men, residents and visitors. Miss Ruth Forberg, an expert on credit ratings, and assistant secretary of the association, is in charge of the office and prepared to give general in- formation at all hours of the day. Credit rating information is for mem- bers of the association only. The Commercial association is ex- periencing a healthy, albeit not meteoric growth. Gradually, an in- creasing number of the business people of the township are recogniz- ing the value of connection with such an organization. Meetings are held at regular intervals at a convenient location in the township. Dinners, with excellent talks on business and civic topics, are the vogue during the winter seasons, and New Trier Day, with its parade and outing, is the annual out-door social event of the association, in which all business people and residents of the township are asked to join. Memberships Available Application for membership may be secured at the offices in the Brown building. Memberships are open to all business and professional people. Officers of the association are: Lloyd KF. Hollister, president. John C. Seymour, vice president. Dan G. Stiles, treasurer. Otto Falk, secretary. Miss Ruth Forberg, assistant secre- tary.

The man who turned in the largest sale of the ducats was to take home a gold watch as a reward for his energy.

Johnny will be on hand early and late and promises the picnickers will not have to go home for supper.

STORES T0 CLOSE AS NEW TRIER JOURNEYS TO PIGNIC WEDNESDAY Business Men Busy Getting Things in Shape for Annual New Trier Day; Grove at Ridge and Lake Avenues Converted into Old-Fashioned Fair Grounds That shady, peaceful grove on Lake avenue, just west of the Ridge in Gross Point, is being converted into an old-fashioned picnic grounds this week as hammer and saw fit up the dancing pavilion, band stand, refreshment and novelty booths. Rustic tables, benches and other devices essential to the unqualified success of New Trier Day, Wednesday, August 23, which, a glance at the calendar informs, is right in the middle of next week. All places of business are ex- pected to be closed on that day. Village officials have proclaimed the day a township holiday. Here and there in the township alert business men are polishing their best trucks and motor cars, drap- ing the bunting and getting the ma- chines in ship-shape order for the an- nual Township Street Procession which is the forerunner of the outing in the grove at Gross Point. Members of the New Trier Commer- cial association, sponsor of New Trier Day, are as busy as a half-hundred hives of bees putting on the final touches and getting every detail worked out in readiness for the trum- pet call next Wednesday morning at 9:30 o'clock, which will formally her- ald the opening of New Trier Day with its varied and interest-compelling activities. That Big Parads A word about that street procession. Every citizen of the north shore and every person engaged in business on the north shore is invited and urged to get into the line of march with a decorated float or automobile. As usual, there will be the prizes for the most effectively appointed float, the best decorated car, and the funniest looking vehicle. The parade, starting at the Wilmette Village hall, will pro- ceed along the principal highways through every village in the township and will disband at the order of Grand Marshal Wolff at the Grove in Gross Point at the hour the picnic begins. Presidents of the various villages will review the procession from an espe- cially built reviewing stand at Elm street and Lincoln avenue, Winnetka. Things will commence in earnest at the picnic grove immediately the great procession disbands at Ridge and Lake avenues. Huge trucks, made com- fortable for passenger service, will by that time have brought to the grounds great numbers of residents from Glen- coe, Hubbard Woods, Winnetka, Kenil- svorth and Wilmette, and everyone will be prepared for the big field events scheduled to begin promptly at 2 o'clock. There will be races and other competitive events that will afford everyone an opportunity to "get in on" the choice prizes donated by the va- rious business houses of the township. "Jacks" vs. "lce Heavers" At 2:45 o'clock the "lumber jacks" and the "ice heavers" will become the center of attraction when the Hubbard Woods Lumber and Coal company baseball nine and an aggregation from the North Shore Ice company will com- pete for honors in that sport. Next on the program is the big base- ball game of the year when Glencoe's North Shore league champions meet the hustling Wilmette Athletic club nine at 4 o'clock. Both teams are doing some earnest rehearsing for this event and a game of real merit may be expected. There will be a big prize for the winning team. But, even though one should be not at all, or only mildly, interested in baseball, field events or other athletic endeavors, New Trier Day holds other things of real interest for the prospec tive picnicker. There will be scores of attractions at the grove that will make one mindful of the old county fair back in the good old days on the farm. George White, the grocer, is an expert in arranging these attrac- tions, and one may be 'assured he'll rovide something of interest for every rolicker. Of the great variety of these attractions, it is not for the writer to go into further detail. One simply will have to go to the grove to get acquainted with all the fun-provoking devices. Among other items for the afternoon is an excellent band concert. As the evening shadows fall, Arns orchestra, well known to every dance devotee of the north shore, will strike up the initial number of the program that will continue until 11:30 o'clock, with only one interruption, and that at 10 o'clock when the grand prize of the day will be awarded. Among the dances will be plentiful interspersings of the old time waltzes and two-steps for -the enjoyment of those who have not gone in for the newer vogues in the terpsichorean art. In other words, there will be no wall flowers. For those who have no cars, it is stated that transportation will be provided from certain points in the township throughout the afternoon and early evening hours. Trucks are to leave at frequent intervals from Vernon and Park avenues, Glencoe; Elm and Center street, Winnetka; Central and Wilmette avenues, Wil- mette. Picnickers will be taken back to these points from the grove at any time during the afternoon or evening. KIDDIES WILL PARADE AS FEATURE OF PICNIC Every child in New Trier township is "in line" for something real nice next Wednesday when the Big New Trier Day picnic gets under way at Golbach's Grove at Gross Point. One of the feature events of the afternoon is to be a Children's par- ade at the grove. Every child under 12 years of age is eligible to get into the parade. "Bert Williams" will be the grand marshal and the procession will pass by one of the booths just before disbanding, when every participant will be given a nice favor, containing something good to eat. [ The Children's parade is scheduled | for 3 o'clock, sharp, and parents are] requested to assemble the kiddies on | time for the march. PLAYGROUNDS POPULAR | Belleville, 111, has five public play- | grounds. The attendance record ol the first week totaled 1,390. The larger boys are strong for baseball, | while sand-bin play is a special fea- ture of the little children's interest. | | You Are Urged to Have an Entry in the Big Parade There is promise that the New Trier Day procession this year will be the best in the history of the event. Many business concerns are planning to enter floats in the parade and others will get into the line of march in at- tractively decorated automobiles. Every resident of the township and every business concern represented on the north shore is invited to have an entry in the procession. Excellent and useful prizes will be awarded for the most effectively decorated float, the best decorated automobile and the most amusing vehicle entry in the parade. "BETTER BABY" DAY "A better baby conference will be held at the DeWitt County Fair this year," says the Kenney Gazette-Her- ald. "It is planned to have doctors from the various localities in the county present on certain days to as- sist in examining the babies. This will be done so that the parents can have the assistance of their family phy- sician."
