October 20, 1928 WINNETKA TALK Fall! Less golf--more sewing. Besides, there's a lot of sewing to catch up on after the long summer of playing out- doors. Curtains -- clothes for the children --towels to be hemmed --household and ward- robe all to be gotten in order for winter. What luck, right at this crucial moment, to find an absolutely perfect portable electric sewing machine--the Standard in its newest form! It weighs only nine- teen pounds, all com- plete with attachments, and including its lizard- finished leatherette case. The machine itself weighs less than twelve pounds -- so you can follow the sunshine all around the house, to do your sewing where it's most cheerful! It sews everything from a thick blanket, to a wisp of chiffon, with- out adjustment, and without puckering. It has a stitch-adjusting device -- a wee lamp that throws a beam of light directly on your sewing-- it can be run so slowly that you can see every stitch being made or so fast that it's a whirr! Signs °Y fain Indeed, a complete list of its virtues would make one wonder how on earth any other machine ever finds a home. The reason is merely that everybody doesn't know about this one yet--that's why we're going to this length to tell all the North Shore about it! Price--$65: a special in- troductory offer. First Floor--Notions * * * Did you know that you could buy a Dayton Electric Heater, with a big, glowing reflector, for $1.39? People buy them for bathrooms, for a bit of quick heat before the furnace is roused, for drying hair, and for children's togs that have gotten wet in the snow--and lots of other things. Housewares--First Floor * * * Fall makes lots of people think of Hallowe'en before anything else. It's a short step from Fall to Pumpkins --and from pumpkins to witches and goblins and black cats and bats, and everything else that goes with Hallowe'en parties! If you want to have a very spooky one--choose your in- vitations, your favors, and GREENLEAF 7000 INCORPORATED your decorations, here at Lord's.
