4 Gn Cr JF LI a Vi WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, JANUARY 20, 1923 17 --3 WE'LL SHOUT ALOUD: "TWAS A GRAND ThIP We "Mean That Business Men's Pleasure Jaunt Fifty-one north shore business men, members of the New Trier Commercial associationand theirguests, gave them- selves over with happy abandon to a rare good time Monday evening of this week in a session of sheer enjoy- ment. Business worries were left in Wil- mette, Kenilworth, Winnetka, Hub- bard Woods and Glencoe, depending upon the location of the various places of business and the "boys" hied themselves to Milwaukee via the "Road of Service," more commonly known as the Chicago, North Shore and Milwaukee Electric railroad. At Milwaukee there was a theater party at the Palace Vaudeville house that left every man chanting the mer- its of the "bill" on the joyful return journey, again over the "Road of Ser- vice." Officials of the North Shore line, Thompson, Moran, Seymour, Grant, Welch, Shepperd, Cordell, Mr. Motor- man, Messrs. conductors, chef de cui- sine, and even the dusky waiters out- did themselves to insure absolute comfort for the travellers. A dinner, containing everything from s to n, but surpassing in quality and quantity most anything ever en- countered in the eating line, started matters off right as the train was leaving the north shore. Talkfests, singing, bridge and the inevitable "rummy" kept everyone enlivened on the all-too-brief journey to the me- tropolis of the Badger country. Then the theater, with all the best there is in variety productions, and the return trip, with more talkfests, song, cards and ever more of the same, all in the pleasing atmosphere of fragrant havanas. ( Home again shortly after midnight. Realty Experts Unite as Heinsen and Clark, Inc. Heinsen and Clark, Inc., realtors, blossomed forth this week as one of the most promising enterprises on the north shore, following announce- ment of election of officers of the newly reorganized iirm. Archie W. Plant, formerly manager of the Wilmette aflice of Hill and Wheeler, realtors, was elected pres- ident, George C. Clark, of the firm of Heinsen and Clark, was named vice president; Paul Heinsen, also of the former Heinsen and Clark, was chos- en treasurer, and William H. Overton, formerly sales manager of the Stults Realty company of Winnetka, selected as secretary. Both Plant and Overton have had many years' experience in selling north shore real estate and last year were credited with negotiating num- erous important transactions. Heinsen and Clark have been es- tablished on the north shore for some time, now maintaining offices in Win- netka, Wilmette and Chicago. Eastern Star A public installation of officers of Wilmette Chapter, 7563, Order of the Eastern Star, was held in the Masonic Hall, January 15 in the usual impres- give and dignified manner. : In the presence of an overflow audi- ence of members and friends the fol- lowing officers were installed: Hattie E. France, worthy matron, Claude E. Fitch, worthy patron, and a very capable corps of officers. Pearl G. Clyde and Fred L. Rice were the retiring worthy matron and patron. A short program of songs and read- ings were given by Mrs. Vesta Murray Watkins. Appropriate and beneficial talks were given by distinguished members, the tetiring and newly in- stalled worthy matrons and patrons and the Rev. Francis Carr Stifler, the worthy matron's pastor. Only Two Building Grants Over Period of One Week Although only two building permits were issued by the superintendent of public works in the past seven days, the total value of the authorized con- struction in Winnetka this week 2 mounts to $17,000. : Johnson Brothers received a permit for the construction of a $11,000 two- story brick veneer residence at 867 Lincoln avenue. The other permit was granted to J. W. Erickson. Mr. Erickson will build a two-story frame and stucco house at 565 Elder Lane, at an estimated cost of $6,000. This is the smallest number of per- mits issued in the village in a one week period for many months. L 0. O. F. Installs Officers; Plan Many Social Events A. T. Sherman Lodge, No. 892, I. 0. O.

Coolidge, Vice President of the United States and, by virtue officer of the United States Senate, will speak before the Wilmette Sun- day Evening club on the evening of January 21. ; Two hundred extra seats have been secured for the auditorium of the First Congregational church for this service in order to accomodate as large an audience as can be comfort- ably and safely housed in the church. "I saw Mr. Coolidge when I was in Washington a few days ago," W. Frank McClure, president of the Sun- day Evening club stated in announcing the club program, "and he assured me that he will be able to get away from his duties in Washington to fill this engagement." "It is a real achievement for Wil- mette to secure the Vice President of the United States on this year's pro- gram, "continued President McClure.
