T46-1tc Dellwood Club Announces Seventh Annual Mask Ball The Dellwood Club of Evanston, will hold its seventh annual prize masquerade dance, in Jones Hall, Wil- mette, Thursday evening, February 1. Eight o'clock is the hour when the orchestra, H. Cook & Co. of Evans- ton, introduces the opening number of the program, and advance informa- tion har it the hall will be crowded to capacity for the yearly frolic. This event has been characterized as "the real mask ball of the north shore," so, those in charge emphasize, it behooves the prospective trippers of the light fantastic to get their cos- tumes ready, and reserve this eve- ning for the big affair. Prizes will be awarded for the best costumes. Consider Readvertising for Bids on Village Tract Sale The Winnetka Village council will meet in special session Tuesday eve- ning, January 30, to take the neces- sary action to readvertise for bids on the sale of the Village property locat- ed at the northeast corner of North and Linden avenues, Hubbard Woods. This property was advertised for sale last fall but all the bids were re- jected because the amounts were less than the value of the property in the judgment of the Council. Cites Place of Creeds in the Christian Life The general subject of the third conference on Personal Religion, be- ing conducted by Rev. James A. Rich- ards, pastor of the Winnetka Congre- gational church, on Tuesday evenings in the Assembly room of Community House, will be "The Place of Creeds and Ethics and of the Church in the Christian Life." Mr. and Mrs. D. H. Nicholes and son, Richard, 816 Forest avenue, will leave tomorrow for a three weeks' trip to New Orleans and Biloxi. IT'S EASY TO PAY FOR A CHEVROLET OUR WAY Northwestern Motor Co. WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, JANUARY 2%, 1923 23 smm---- 1 Hatless, Coatless, Penniless He Walks 10,585 Miles in U. S. Traveler-Author Stops Over | In Evanston in Midst of Unique Journey That a man can walk 10,585 miles in the United States, hatless, coatless and penniless and bound by contract not to ask for food, shelter or any of the necessities of life, except water and matches, is the firm belief of Leonard Day, now stopping at the Evanston fire department headquar- ters, the guest of Chief A. N. Hofstet- ter and the men of Station No. 1. 'For Day has already covered 7,100 miles of the journey, tramping through fair weather and foul, heat and cold, without hat or coat and dependent on the thoughtfulness of others to pro- vide for him food, clothing, or a place to sleep. His unique journey was undertaken for the purpose of proving the hos- pitality of the American people. In- cidentally, should the hospitality of the people on his ojurney enable him to make the trip successfully, he is to win an award of $6,500 which a pub- lishing firm has offered him for a book detailing his adventures. It was in November, 1921, that Day, an author and newspaper man by pro- fession, offered to the publishing firm a novel telling of the adventures of a man who walked around the rim of the United States without hat, coat or money. The story was rejected on the ground of its absurdity. "It can't be done," said the pub- lishers. "It can be done," said the author, "and I will prove it." A few days later Day, bound by contract calling for the payment of $6,500 for his book, if he successfully carried out the terms of his agree- ment, left San Francisco on the first lap of his journey. "The first 5,000 miles were the hardest," the author said in discussing his strange tramp today. "There were stretches in Texas and the plains of the southwest where there was no food or shelter to be had. My con- tract forbade the carrying of food with me and I had to keep on until 1 reached a habitation and was invited to eat or given a place of shelter." Day traveled east, close to the southern border of the United States to Jacksonville, Florida, then north to Portland, Maine. From there he started his journey west which is to end at Portland, Oregon, from where he will turn south again to San Fran- cisco. F INTEREST NLY TO UR ADVERTISERS Editor's Note.--Each week this space is to be devoted to the interest of those who advertise in the columns of this newspaper. It will be the en- deavor of the editor to provide inter- esting facts about iocal business men and interests, personal notes, as well as brief details of what the business people are doing. Watch for your name or the name of your business neighbors in this column. And don't forget to "tab" some of the helpful hints on advertising. T. L. Welch, proprietor of Welch's Cafeteria, who has been in ill health for a long time reports to Duke the demon ad. chaser that he is feeline much improved and is able to visit his place of business once or twice a week. Mr. Welch has a radio out- fit at his residence to keep him "up" on the news of the day. M. L. Moody, veteran realtor, has only one regret concerning hig broth- er"s around-the-world trip, and that is that he hasn't time to go along. The brother and family left New York January 9 to take the Raymond-Whit- comb Round the World cruise. Ha- vana was to be the first stop--which sounds reasonable. You will note several advertise- ments this week representing business places in the new Aitken block in Hubbard Woods. Among these are the Bert Smale Barber Shop; the Hub- bard Woods Bake Shop; Frances Trapp, milliner, the Hearthstone Tea and Candy Shop, and Dr. Lyngholm. Edmund Scully of the Scully Trans- fer company states that his advertise- ments in the Talk paid well for the investment. He has proceeded to sign a duplicate contract for the Brown and White Cab company, of which he is now half owner. The Winnetka Trust and Savings Bank has entered upon an intensive "Bigger Ad" campaign. The bank's advertisements will appear each week on the Classified Page--Preferred Position at a Special Rate. The North Shore Electrical Shop on Center street, Winnetka, this week received a big shipment of electric washing machines. John C. Welter is the guiding genius at the Electric Shop. The South Water Fruit 'mar- ket has resumed its advertising in the Talk and as an earnest of its absolute faith in Talk results, this week sign- ed a contract covering a period of one year. Remember, friend advertiser! When writing up an ad, 'twere wise to direct your remarks to the customer and NOT at your competitor. Announcing the 1023 GARDNER FOUR Wit the notably improved Motor The new and finer Gardner for 1923 is here--worthy successor to the car that placed the Gardner Motor Company among the eight largest exclusive manufacturers of four-cylinder automobiles in 1922. Designed to give unusual performance with relation to price, the 1923 Gardner assures in service the economy found in Fours alone, combined with the smoothness and flexibility of a greater number of cylinders. The secret is in 'the five-bearing crankshaft of the improved Gardner motor--a feature found in no other four-cylinder engine--which has made possible greater power and greater speed without a discoverable vibration point. upholstery. Gardner five-bearing crank- shaft, a feature found in no other make of four-cylinder motor at any price. The unusually generous equipment includes 32 x 4 cord tires; 18-inch hard-rubber steering wheel; motometer with bar radiator cap; drum type lamps; channeled aluminum kody moulding; genuine leather This balanced value is the reason for the full one-year written guarantee that accompanies every Gardner sold. Lt us demonstrate the car; its story is best told upon the road.
