WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 35, 1921 9 Who's Who Among Business Men of Winnetka From the number of answers received by the Who's Who Editor of the Winnetka Weekly Talk it is quite evident that the residents of Winnetka are better ac- quainted with their local merchants than most people would think. It was just a few of the newer business men in town who proved to be the real stumbling blocks. The old ones like M. K. Meyer, Lee Adams and Lou Vollmann were easy but Killian, Santi and Otten were the hard ones. You had a lot of trouble finding that picture of Otten, didn't you. Clarence Happ was the first man to turn in his answer. He arrived in our office at 10:35 last Saturday morning. He just managed to get in ahead of Brochu of the Holland Furnace company. Brochu stubbed his toe on Jim Maloney and Ruggero so he was out of luck any- way. From 11 o'clock Saturday till 6 o'clock Wednesday night the Who's Who Editor was a busy man receiving answers and registering them. Maybe we will have another Who's Who contest next year. In the meantime you had better get acquainted with all of your local merchants so you won't be fooled next time. If the prize winners will write a letter to the Who's Who Editor telling him what store they want the credit memorandum on it will be sent to them by return mail. HERE ARE THE PRIZE WINNERS FIRST PRIZE--$25.00 Clarence W. Happ, 826 Spruce Street. SECOND PRIZE--$10.00 H. D. Hill, 514 Linden Street. THIRD PRIZE--$5.00 Paul Runnfeldt, 1037 Spruce Street. FOURTH PRIZE--$2.00 Gladys Madsen, 548 Fir Street. FIFTH PRIZE--$2.00 M. L. Leichsenring, Box 171, Gross Point SIXTH PRIZE--$2.00 Chas. J. Eastman, 984 Cherry Street. SEVENTH PRIZE--$2.00 Florence Anthony, 566 Center Street. EIGHTH PRIZE--$2.00 Mary A. Hartnett, 800 Rosewood Avenue. Many others had perfect answers but the first eight perfect ones received were the ones who were awarded the prizes. SAVE A DIME A DAY WINNETKA TRUST AND SAVINGS BANK M. K.
