VOL, XVI, NO. 28 WINNETKA, ILLINOIS, SEPTEMBER 17, 1927 PRICE FIVE CENTS DOLLAR BARGAIN DAYS HERE SEPTEMBER 22-23 Next Thursday and Friday Set as Semi-Annual Opportunity Days for Shoppers The purchasing power of the dollar, which has been gradually extended since the days of away back in "war times," will have attained its greatest value from this point of view in Win- netka, it is said, on Dollar Days, scheduled for Thursday and Friday of next week. Therefore, say our merchants, round up all your dollars that you have here- tofore considered just ordinary pur- chasing pieces or interest bearing coins, and use a portion of them, at least, to earn on these two great Dollar Day occasions some real profit and benefit. Survey Shoppers' Needs Winnetka merchants have made a careful study of their stocks and the needs of the buying public at this par- ticular season, and, in making their re- spective announcements of articles which they will sell at One Dollar on 'hese two days, have more than com- pounded interest on what one will in- vest with them at this time, it is de- clared. _ All the details of these unusual buy- ing opportunities are set forth in the announcements in this issue of Win- NETKA TALK by the following mer- chants who are featuring unusually attractive bargains on Dollar days: Frank Borovicka, florist; Henry Ilg, florist; North Shore Electric Shop; Richardson garage; R. H. Schell; Winnetka State bank, and, last but not least, G. L. Zick and company. Horseshoe Champs Find Big Field of Ready Challengers Elmer E. Adams and A.

DISCUSS PAVING OF CENTER STREET HIGHWAY Informal Public Hearing on An- other Link In the New Through Highway Another step in the completion of Winnetka's share of the new through highway through that village was taken at an informal public hearing called by the village council Monday evening, at which time the prevailing opinion was that a re-zoning measure for a section of Center street should be coupled with the plans for the new highway. The section being considered is Center street from Elm street to Tower road, which, according to a large map presented by Village Engineer Frank A. Windes, it is proposed to construct as a fifty foot pavement from Elm to Spruce and forty feet from Spruce to Tower. Favor Re-Zoning There were about forty property owners represented. All were agreed that the section of Center street which has not already been zoned for busi- ness should be done so now, regardless of the fact that the zoning board on three previous occasions has declined to make this change. Some were of the opinion a forty foot pavement is not wide enough, or will not be wide enough in a few years when the road throughout is completed and the full stream of traffic is turned on it. Others favored making the road as wide as it is possible to make it with- out having to take any of the property. This, Engineer Windes estimated, would be about forty-five or forty- eight feet. Some favored taking suf- ficient property to make a fifty foot road if it is thought a street that wide would be found to be necessary within the next few years. This, it was pointed out would be much more advisable than to proceed with a forty foot road now and a little later, should it be found to be insufficient, to have to tear up the street and build the ad- ditional width. State Will Aid Engineer Windes, in reply to an in- quiry, advised that the state would pay for twenty feet of a forty foot street and if it is made fifty feet the state would pay for forty feet, but in the latter event would insist on a wider right-of-way than sixty feet. Several members of the village council were present, including Presi- dent H. F. Tenney, who explained that the council has been studying the plan proposed for some time and desired to obtain an expression of the property owners before proceeding further. Adjournment was taken until some future date when the plans are in more definite form. LANDS FINE PICKEREL Mrs. Henry Luensmann, of 804 Elm street, Winnetka, returned last Satur- day from a two weeks' vacation which she spent with Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Barker, of 1521 Forest avenue, Wil- mette, at Mikana, Wis. The fishing was good and the weather was fine for their trip. Mrs. Luensmann landed the finest pickerel that was caught by any member of the party. Nr, Bon 1 4 : g
