WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, AUGUST 1, 1925 Winnetka Woman Witness of Police-Bandit Fight Mrs. Edgar F. Alden, 352 Linden ave- nue, was an eye-witness of the chase and gun battle with the bandits who robbed the Drake hotel in Chicago in one of the boldest daylight hold-ups in police annals Wednesday afternoon of this week. Mrs. Alden was driving south on Lake Shore drive, and was about a block north of the hotel when she heard the rattle of revolver shots and saw the bandits with police in pursuit speed northward along the drive shooting as they went She saw several policemen nearby commandeer motor cars and take up the chase. At first, she said, she thought that a hold- up had occurred on the street. It was several hours before she learned what had happened. New. Nelson Laundry Is Classed Among Finest Winnetka now has the most thoroughly modern laundry in the United States, according to the state- ment of officials of the Nelson Broth- ers laundry which moved into its new building at 566 Chestnut street, this week. The new plant, which is housed in a modern two-story brick building, is electrically equipped throughout and has all the latest laundry equipment. In fact, it is 10 years ahead of the time, it was said. Among other features there is a rest room for women em- ployes on the second floor. The build- ing has been under construction since last November. Its size is 112 by 150 feet. Chick Evans Has Praise for Illinois Golf Links "Chick" Evans, of golfing fame, to- gether with Judge Dennis F. Sullivan of Chicago, J. R. Murphy and C. W. Jordan were guests at the Illinois Golf club this week and played a round on the course. Evans' score for the first nine holes was 34 and for the second nine 39, making a total of 73 for the course. Evans expressed himself as very much pleased with the course and rated it as one of the best near Chica- go. He made particularly favorable comments on the construction and ar- rangement of the course. * Announce Services at Scandinavian Church Regular Sunday evening services of the First Scandinavian Evangelical church this week will be held at 8 o'clock, with H.

We are certain that you will share our opinion that the new eight-cylinder Cadillac cars not only surpass all others in every important essential, but go far beyond Cad:llac's previous best. Ensemble The new Cadillac wears a distinction of design which has heretofore attached to no motor car of American manufacture. Low to the ground, lithe, every curve and phase bespeaks fineness, distinction, youth, good taste. Beautiful bodies by Fisher present the character- istic luxury of the finely wrought. In these splendid Cadillacs, the lover of fine mo- tor cars will instantly recognize that Cadillac has added the finality of attractiveness to unap- proachable structural supremacy. Mechanical A finer expression of the famous Cadillac 90- degree, V-type, eight-cylinder motor, gives per- formance abilities which more noticeably than ever out-class all other types. Cadillac has builded anew on the tested principles of eleven years of eight-cylinder superiority. The results are even more satiny power-flow, still smoother and quicker acceleration; perfection of balance previously unattainable, riding ease com- parable with nothing but another new Cadillac. The scope of Cadillac's mechanical achievement is indicated by an investment of more than $2,500,000 in jigs, tools and dies alone for the purpose of producing the finest Cadillac in history. All the resources--engineering, purchasing and manufacturing--of both Cadillac and General Motors have been brought to bear upon this par- amount object. Repute All of Cadillac's 23-year experience in manufac- turing fine cars-- the last 11 years with 8-cylinder cars exclusively -- unites with Cadillac's latest engineering conceptions in this new creation Twenty-three years ago, Cadillac laid the foun- dation--in manufacturing ideals, in standards of craftsmanship, in honesty of purpose--for the highest endorsement ever given a car. Eleven years ago, Cadillac presented the first eight built in America; and for eleven years, through scientific development of that principle, Cadillac has retained a leadership never approached. The new Cadillac cars are Cadillac's greatest achievement.
