F. Ed- inger and company, 1301 Lake street, Wilmette. The idea of white trucks was originated by Mr. Edinger for advertising purposes. So far as is known they are the only white coal trucks in the country. striven to give the best of service to its customers. As proof of this state- ment, members of the firm point to the modern equipment of the com- pany. Only recently a clam shell crane was added to facilitate the un- loading of coal cars and the loading of trucks. The new crane can handle one-half a ton of coal at one scoop and can load a six-ton truck in three and one-half minutes. With its help 12 cars of sand or gravel can be un- loaded in one working day.

Dining room, breakfast room, kitch- ens, maid's' room, complete the lower floor. Upstairs are the modernly arranged bedrooms, nursery, sleeping porch and --a smoking pavilion (Mr. George's idea). That's about the best an amateur can do at describing something that beggars of description. Getting down to utility, we learn that this home (it is not meant to be a mansion) is operated entirely by electricity. That is to say, electricity propels the furnace,-the refrigerator, laundry and water heaters, as well as providing the illumination. A master switch in the attached garage lights every room in the house. Pretty tough on burglars, as it were. And so, the home is built. Mr. George confers with the prospective owner, draws up the plans in con- sultation with his architects and per- sonally supervises every detail of con- struction and appointment. He is de- signer and the contractors, all in one. He assumes personal responsibility for his homes and turns over the com- pleted "work" to his customer. Oh, yes, there is a large ball room. Where? Oh, in the basement. Don't be shocked. It's a beauty. Doesn't crash upon your aesthetic sensibili- ties, either. ASK' JOE, HE KNOWS WHAT PUBLIC WANTS The Hubbard Woods Lumber and Coal company, under the guiding genius of Joe Mercer, has always been recognized as one of the really progressive building supply concerns on the north shore. Its scope of bus- iness extends from Wilmette to High- land Park comprising a trade built upon sound business principals, han- dling of only the best in the building supply lines under the expert manage- ment of a man who is thorougly ac- quainted with his field. Mr. Mercer is one of the only two rare business men who actually make a study of market conditions, who travel beyond the confines of their business area to glean new facts and ideas on how to more adequately sup- ply the public with the things they demand. January of July, spring or autumn-- ask Mr. Mercer about market con- ditions and the trend of business gen- erally throughout the country, and the reply is always on the tip of his tongue. It's a case of "Ask Joe, he knows." aE OPES TDPRI BROREL So Lenin BWBLOW BLOW'S EXCAVATOR DOES 'THE FIRST WORK ON YOUR BUILDING B. W.
