l¢ WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, FRIDAY, MAY 2, 1919 Wilmette Toy Maker at All-American to Exhibit Products Exposition in Chicaso, Miss Hannah Wiederanders of 1507 Highland avenue, has been ask- ed to exhibit her toys at the booth of the All-American Exposition which will be held at the Coliseum June 7 to 22. Miss Wiederander's pigs and chickens, which are well known in Wilmette, and are beginning to be well known all over the country, are to be placed in the exhibit of artist- ic toys which will be«one of the many artcraft exhibits at the exposition. One of the ideas of the All-Amer- ican Exposition is to encourage the manufacture of articles in America, which have formerly been made abroad, and also to encourage the citizens of foreign birth and blood who are acquainted with the manu- facture of these articles to make use of their knowledge: Toy making is one of the most important of these industries, especially the toys which have a real art value such as those made in Miss Wiederanders base- ment toy shop here in Wilmette. Big Art Exhibit The All-American Exposition has been planned by a group of men and women prominent in art, civic and industrial interests in and about Chi- cago, as a means to a better under- standing between native and foreign born Americans. To this end arts and crafts of all kinds which have been and are being manufactured in this country by foreign born citizens will be exhibited at the Coliseum. Fabrics, toys, embroideries, basketry and laces are but a few of the many subjects which are to be shown. There is not to be a segregation of each nationality, but a segregation of subject, to which are brought the products of all the nationalities. Choice rugs of the far east will hang side by side with the work of the Navajo and the Mexican Indian. Lace of Belgian, French and Irish design will lie side by side with Hawaiian work, while old Chinese embroideries will vie with the intri- cate needlework of Madeira- Some Rare Collections Exhibits will not be restricted to articles actually made in this coun- try. Rare old pieces will be brought out and shown as examples of the work which might be carried on here and which is being done in a simpler way. The Exposition, however, will not be all exhibits. There will be a great many amusements, side shows and ballyhoos of the good old fashioned carnival type. Cafes will be presided over by experts in foreign cooking, and cabarets and dancing will not be the least of the attractions. The sale of tickets is already open- ed. Major General Leonard Wood purchased the first book of tickets last week, and women's organizations in all parts of the city and suburbs hundred thousand at the pre-opening price of twenty-five cents. Tickets may be obtained at headquarters in Chicago, 741 First National Bank building. NORTHWESTERN MAN NAMED BY GOVERNOR Professor F. S. Deibler of North- western university has gone to Washington at the request of Gover- nor Lowden to be the representative of Illinois at the conference of direc- tors of the federal and state employ- ment board to consider plans for the continuation and expansion of the work of the employment service. advisory committee of the Illinois state bureau of employment.
