Thé company went along for a year or two and did as well as any new business is expected to do. In the first few years the company was getting organized. It was securing that firm basis that wins the good will of the people whom it serves and was preparing for the expansion that was to come in the near future. Football at thea Libertyville Town-- ship high school ended officially on Monday.afternoon, at the conclusion of the game with Ant och, in which Libertyville won by a «core of 6 to 0 and thereby copped the champion-- ship title of the Northwest Confer-- ence league.
