Studio Building 1718 Sherman Ave., Evanston Studio Phone Greenleaf 3523 Residence--Univ. 7278 Says Wood-Framed Body Best for Automobiles M. A. Graffis, chief engineer of the Elcar Motor company, expressed him- self as convinced of the superiority of the wood-framed body in a letter sent, recently to F. R. Fridman, north shore | Elcar dealer. The letter read in part:| "While it is true that steel railway | coaches are far superior to wooden ones, a comparison between them and automobile bodies is not necessarily favorable to the all-steel body. The railway coach travels on a level, steel track, and flexibility is not as essen- tial because of this as it is an auto- mobile body. A car traveling over an uneven road is subject to weaving and vibratory impulses that make a certain flexibility vital, and wood pro- vides this needed quality." Illinois' 1926 corn crop was 388,080,- 000 bushels. | Hamilton Club Chess Men Defeat North Shore Club On Tuesday, February 15, the Ham- ilton club Chess section met the North Shore Chess club, in a match.

ELCAR MOTOR COMPANY "Builders of fine Vebicles since 1873 ~~ ELCAR WITH THE The Elcar is the only Car sold with a 90 DAY FREE SERVICE Guarantee C. A. FRIDMAN Phone Wilmette 3895 WILMETTE HEAVY PERMIT ISSUE Unusual Weather Prompts Increased Building Activity During February; Permits Issued Total $119,875 The remarkable weather which has prevailed throughout the month of February has proven not only enjoy- able, but most advantageous from the builders' point of view, judging from activity shown during the past fifteen days, particularly. Beilging permits issued in Wilmette since the first of February total $119, 875, and there are yet two work- ing days in the month in which this amount, it is said, may be materially increased. Up to the middle of the month per- mits issued totaled only a little over $35,000, but with the continuation of fine building weather, those who were contemplating activities of this nature, evidently decided that "Spring is here," or not far off, and are taking | advantage of the early favorable build- ing condition. Nine of the permits are for resi- dences, the total value of which is $117,500; four are for garages amount- ing to $1,475; one for a remodeling job, costing $300; one for a barn, costing $300 and another for a brick hen house costing $100. Since the middle of the month, Drake Brothers, builders, have taken out permits for three residences, one for $12,000, a brick veneer and stucco, at 518 Isabella street, costing $12,000 and two of frame and stucco, one at 514 and one at 516 Isabella street, each costing $11,500. A permit also has been issued to the Bills Realty Co. for a brick residence and garage to be erected in Indian Hills Estate, at a cost of $20,000. F. A. Habeck has taken out a per- mit for a two story frame residence at 124 Sixteenth street, to cost $6,000. A permit has been issued to Carl C. Hartman for a two story brick resi- dence and garage at 718 Sheridan road, to cost $15,000. M. Jacobson has taken out a per- mit for a $6,000 frame residence at 233 Fernleaf avenue. William H. Scott Opens Funeral Home Next Week Work was being completed this week on the renovation of the residence at 1109 Central avenue, Wilmette, which, next week is to be opened as a fur- eral home, the first of its type on the north shore, conducted by William H. Scott, well known north shore funeral director. Mr. Scott, in establishing his fun- eral home is bringing to this vicinity a feature in funeral service that ob- tains extensively in many eastern cities, but which is virtually new to Chicago and vicinity. The funeral home is furnished precisely as a home and as such, emphasizes the seclusion and comforts peculiar to home sur- roundings and that cannot be secured in the purely commerical or store type of funeral parlor. The new funeral home will be util- ized exclusively for that purpose, ac- cording to Mr. Scott. Frederick Clerk Attends Session of Head Masters Frederick E. Clerk, superintendent of New Trier High school, has been at- tending the annual meeting of the Preparatory School Head Masters' as- sociation held at Boston Mass. Mr. and Mrs. Roy C. Osgood, 423 Essex road, Kenilworth entertained at dinner at the University club and a theater party afterwards Monday eve- ning to celebrate their twenty-fourth wedding anniversary.
