14 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1923 NEW AUTO CLUB INVITES PUBLIC Illinois Automobile Club Has Evanston Offices The Illinois Automobile club of Chi- cago has recently announced the opening of a branch office to look after the interests of motorists of the great communities of the north shore, from Evanston to the north line of Cook county. The new branch, which is under the direction of P. F. Lowder, is located at 1722 Sherman avenue, Evanston. Motorists are advised that through this North Shore branch, club mem- bers may have their needs looked after, and car owners who are not members may apply for membership. Invites Visitors Mr. Lowder, north shore manager, has extended an invitation to all mo- torist of the north shore to call at the new headquarters and get acquainted. "Every motorist whose home or whose business is along the north shore is cordially invited to come in and see what the Illinois Automobile club has to offer him," said Mr. Low- der. Free Service "Membership in the great and rap- idly growing I. A. C., means free tow- ing and mechanical road service, maps, touring information, legal aid and ad- vice, insurance at cost, a beautiful club emblem ,a subscription to a won- derfully helpful club magazine, and many, many other things worth sev- eral times the nominal membership fee. "Our club, representing thousands of automobile drivers of Chicago and vicinity, has been a consistent aid to motorists, in the prevention of unjust taxation, abolition of speed laws, pro- tection from grafting officials, and in many other ways. We are organ- ized to help motorists and that is what we do. "If you are a member of the Illinois Automobile club, you automatically become a member of the Illinois State 'Automobile association and the Na- tional Motorists' association, thus be- coming actively and actually affiliated with automobile clubs in more than 600 cities throughout the United States. Every one of these 600 clubs gives reciprocal = service, so anyone can readily see what an advantage uch affiliation is if one ever gets out- side their own city or county. : "I should like to have every mo- torist along the north shore feel that the Illinois Automobile club is his club, and that he is cordially welcome to come here for anything, at any time." i The officers of the I. A. C. are Ed- gar F. Olson, cashier of the Franklin Trust and Savings Bank, president; Oliver G. Temme, president of the Temme Spring corporation, vice-pres- ident. Frank M. Flynn of William Davies company, secretary, and Sam- uel Kraus, manager of the Chicago Branch of the Stewart Warner Co., treasurer. The directors are W. S. Perry, pres- ident of the Vesta Battery Corp. C. E. Gambill, president of the Marmon Chicago company, David Rosenbach, sales manager of Dalton and Balch, Harry N. Fowler, president of the Fowler Lamp and Manufacturing company, O. D. Jennings, president O. F. Jennings company, W. P. Mar- tin, manager Hawthorne club, West- ern Electric company, Harry P. Bran- stetter, president Kissel Motor com- pany, Chicago., J. H. Trindl, president Trindl company. James R. Emery, president Garage Owners association, James Levy, president James Levy Motor company and A. E. Swanson, president Jetam company. The active interest of such men in the club, Mr. Fowler points out, in- sures a business-like and efficient ad- ministration of affairs in the interests of the motorists. Skokie Memories Editor's note: Heyliger A. de Windt, well known Winnetkan, submits the ac- companying poem sent to him by Dr. Casey Wood, who has been engaged in a study of the bird life on the Fiji Is- lands. Dr. and Mrs. Wood are now lo- cated in Australia. SKOKIE MEMORIES Golden-throated warbler tell me-- Or you, bittern, croak and tell-- Skokie memories compel me, With desire ineffable, To make question if its creatures Fare as when I spake farewell. Then, oh, rufous--coated sparrow-- Then, oh, joyous-throated wren, There were watery ways and narrow Where the silent water-hen Sought her ancient sanctuary, Is she hidden now as then? Does the sparrow, like an arrow, Skim along the Skokie's marge, Iris-blue and white with yarrow? Does the bobolink enlarge As of old, themes Hedonistic? Comes Sir Redwing to the charge? If such Junes as once befell me Skokie wanderers yet may know, It were kind to tell me-- Do the winds of Skokie blow, Spicy with the smell of flagroot? Give me answer--I must go!
