18 WINNETKA TALK October 20, 1928 State Bank Reserves for Reverses ONEY is a financial gauge or measure of your physical and mental efforts, and your Savings Account is the surest indicator of the real progress you are making. Reserve money, like reserve armies, will turn the tide of many a difficult struggle. The solid satisfaction of knowing that you and your family are provided for in the event of reverses, sickness or old age is a source of more comfort than the extravagances brought with unjudicious expenditure of funds that rightly belong in the channels of Thrift. Have you a Savings Account at this Bank?

Forest Park also made a remarkable gain of 681 percent while Homewood came through with a gain of 624 percent. Whiting, although having a small volume of building, made a gain of 676 percent.

The total amount of building in the suburbs reporting, based on permits issued, totalled for the month $7,821,286, according to the building survey department of S. W. Straus & Co. which has just completed an exhaustive survey of the metro- politan area. The figures for the same towns last year was $6,570,587.

The quartet is considered one of the finest of its type in the world. The Kedroff singers are to appear also at Orchestra hall in Chicago and at the Union League club. They have been praised and acclaimed by the European press, the queen of England, the queen of Spain, the queen of Bel- gium, in fact, almost the entire Euro- pean musical world. Feodor Chaliapin has referred to the quartet as "A Miracle of Vocal Art." The Chicago Tribune, referring to it a year ago, commented as follows: "A totally new experience, almost like that of Horowitz, to learn to what a high state of development male quartet singing can be raised." The Kedroff quartet will devote half of their program to the presentation of religious music, sung in the Russian language. Russian folk songs and the work of Russian composers will be on the program also. Visitors to North Shore Injured in Auto Crash Mrs. J. W.
