Tomorrow the voters of the village vote on the proposition of the un- nexing of adjacent territory to the Millage of Downers Grove. The tracts ‘sL-cking to be annexed are both cle- sirublo. In the one case on- homes and people who tho not molly in“ ‘Downers Grove, have been classed that way for many years. In the other case building restrictions are in force and enforced which will make it also a desireablo addition to Down- ers Grove.

For a robe for the car, couch covers, a handy covering for the day bed and a 0d warm blanket to sleep un- der, are only a ew uses for these handy robes. We have a fine assortment of colors priced at At no time will you have a better selection of Blankets to choose from than now, and the pri- ces too are so much lower than you have seen them for some time. For instance cotton blanâ€" kets that last season retailed for $3.25 this sea» son are priced at $1.95. Blankets that were sellâ€" ing last year for $1.50 you can get now for $2.95 and blankets that cost you $8.00 and $9.00 be- fore, you can buy for $5.00. Wool blankets are rlown in proportion.
