WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1923 11 OLD FASHIONED FIRESIDE SALE TO BE HELD IN GLENCOE Fireside Sale To Feature Old World Idea About Thrift GLENCOE woman who spent many years abroad, is making the Fire-side sale the means of intro- ducing an Old World idea of thrift. Miss Dietz has enlisted the interest and help of the school children, and the result will be seen at the sale which will be held on Saturday, December 15, afternoon and evening, at the Haw- thorn school. The enthusiasm th.t is being put into the preparation for the sale is due more to the ideas that will be developed than to the profit that may be expected.

The women of the committee are more interested in showing what can be as- sembled in the way of beautiful gifts and objects for the home at very mod- crate prices. They are striving to make the occasion most pleasant for all who attend. Judge Wm. Gemmill Will Talk to Wilmette Club J William M.

Washingtos Blvd. A NEW MEASURE OF ING SMOOTHNESS Owners of V-63 and those who have tested it out in personal demonstration tell us that this newest and greatest Cadillac possesses a new measure of riding smoothness. Many of them compare its performance to that of coasting. This unlaboured and buoyant riding ease is the result of the new, inherently balanced, V-type, go-degree, eight-cylinder engine. So smoothly and easily does this engine operate "that, at 30 miles per hour or upwards, were you to cover the speedometer, you could not judge the speed with in ten or fifteen miles. This principle of motor construction is exclusively the property of V-63, evolved by Cadillac engi neers. It is perhaps one of the most signal contri butions to motor car manufacture ever developed.
