WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, JULY 18, 1925 SALE OF COOKER 1S 'SELL-OUT Village to Keep Devices Per- manently in Stock Winnetka housewives voted solid approval of the village administration's efforts to provide for them an oppor- tunity to obtain the most modern de- vices for their kitchens last week when they purchased practically the entire stock of Excell Electric Cookers and left orders for more at the special sale announced in WINNETKA TALK. The officials at the village hall found themselves stocked with almost twice the number of cookers they had orig- inally intended to handle on the first day and were dubious as to the out- come. The women soon quelled their doubts, however, by making the sale a complete sell-out. It is planned to obtain more of the cookers to sell to other women of the village who may desire them. These will be sold well under the regular price, and at only a slightly larger figure than was set for the special sale. Both large and small sizes will be available to accommodate the needs of local homes, The cookers are a combination of the old-fashioned fireless cookers and the modern electrical devices for heat- ing. Food is placed inside, where there is ample room for several containers, and the apparatus hooked up to any lamp socket. When it has been heated to the correct temperature, it is turned off and the heat is retained by the in- sulated cooker to complete the cooking. They are said to be especially desir- able for preparing hot meals for out- ings, being compact enough to carry In an auto on any trip. Prescribe Uniformity of Hall Architecture Business buildings on Chestnut square and in the vicinity of the new Administration building must conform to, or be in harmony with, the archi- tectural style of that building, it was decided at a joint meeting of the pub- lic buildings and grounds committee of the Village council aud "a commitice representing the Winnetka Plan com- mission, held Tuesday evening of this week. The committees considered the adoption of definite plans regarding the architecture of these buildings and Edwin H. Clark, the architect who de- signed the Administration building, was authorized to make plans and sketches for consideration" at a future meeting 6f the committees. Uniformity of architecture is one of the outstanding features in lending the desired distinctiveness to the Village mall created by Chestnut square and its background, which is to be the new Administration place, the officials stated. The authorities feel that all business interests contemplating im- provement of their premises in that vicinity will be eager to co-operate with the Vilage in carrying through this general plan. The Rapp and Franklin buildings, erected since the Village mall plan was formulated, already have lent a distinctive appearance to the vicinity.

BUCCANEERS' CLUB GETS COVERING OF GAYEST HUE Hues as gay as ever decked the an- cient Spanish galleons in the days of Spain's sea power will enliven the old 'Port of Missing Men"--floating home of the Buccaneers' club in Wilmette harbor--which has recently been raised from its winter's sojourn on the har- bor bottom. The work of re-decorat- ing and re-fitting is expected to be completed by August 15. Wayne Andrews, 11 year old son of Emory C. Andrews, 785 Willow road, Winnetka, a member of the club, made a sketch of the craft this week, from which his father, who is supervising the work for the club, drew up a color scheme. The hull will be painted with hori- zontal stripes of green, red, blue and red again. The upper works will be painted with broad vertical stripes of bright yellow and blue. Other trimmings will be in keeping with this color scheme. Plans are under way for a formal opening of the club house when it has been made "sea- worthy" again. The club's fleet of small sailing boats will be at once put in commis- sion and with the arrival of two new ones there will be eight in all, which should give some good exhibitions of sail-boat racing. The officers of the club this year are: Charles I. Trumbull, president, Winnetka; Louis A. Ferguson, vice president, Evanston; Marshall For- rest, secretary, Winnetka; Harold Bennington, treasurer, Chicago.
