Trustee John Clark Baker made an unsuccessful attempt to hold it over to another meeting, declaring that the trustees should have time to consider it in detail before lending it approval.

Wilmette, Ill. After an experience which I had last week, I am wondering whether there is anyone on the north shore who does not read the Hollister publications. At least no one seems to miss reading the want-ad section. We had several odd pieces of furniture we wanted to dispose of before we moved, so asked you to insert a small want-ad in the "Household Goods for Sale" column. People began calling up early Saturday morning and continued without interruption during the day, also on Sunday and Monday. It took two of us to answer the telephone and doorbell, the calls were so numerous. As nearly as we can estimate, we received over 150 calls from a $1.50 want-ad in your papers. People came from North Evanston on the south, to Glencoe on the north, and all points between. It is needless to say that we sold everything we intended to sell without any difficulty.
