ALLES or See Your Broker | GLENCOE GLENGABLES | IS SOON TO BE SOLD | Citizens Announce Object of Its Purchase Seven Years Ago Has Been Served Glengables Tea Room in Glencoe is going to be sold. "A Changing World," as applied to conditions in the village, is said to have resulted in this decision by Glencoc citizens, who have been directing its affairs. Seven years ago when Glencoe was a much smaller village than it is today, it was difficuloftt eahcrer | it was difficult for teachers in the pub- lic schools to obtain desirable places to room and board. Home for Teachers To meet this demand a number of public spirited citizens purchased Glen- gables, a three story building at 376 Park avenue, furnished the second and thrid story rooms and apartments and on the first floor installed complete kitchen and dining room equipment. Here, the teachers have since been assured a good place to live. Glen- gables has been, and is now, under the management of an executive committee and also an operating committee, com- prising members of the citizen owners. It has served the public, as well as the teachers. The public patronage has increased, as the village grew, and the latter condition, it is said, has made it possible for teachers to readily find private boarding places. Thus the need of further maintaining Glengables, for its primary, original purpose, has passed. Back to Business Basis Therefore, the citizens who have been back of it, feel that it should be sold to someone who may gontinue it as a purely business operation. They announce they will continue to operate it in the future, as in the past, until a new owner is found, but it has just been placed in the hands of the real estate firm of P. W. Bradstreet & Son, 788 Elm street, Winnetka, for this pur- pose. Colored Hardwood Floor New Vogue in Building With the recent discovery of a pro- cess by which northern hard maple flooring can be made to take lasting color finishes, leading architects and interior decorators predicted a new vogue in floors. Already the new vogue is coming in. In many sections of the country, maple floors in a variety of colors are being adopted. Hard maple, authorities say, has long been recognized for its many advant- ages as a flooring material. Its tight- grained, tough-fibred structure gives if a smooth surface which is not injured bv the friction or impact of feet. Numerous tests have shown that maple floors outwear stone. It is said that the wood never splinters or slivers. Its combination of resilience and dura- bility, coupled with the new color op- portunities it now offers, place it in a unique position in the flooring field. In practically every room of the Herald and Examiner Model Home at Highland Park Highlands, northern hard maple floors in color have been installed. 'Krenn & Dalo, builders of this model residence, selected various colors for the bedrooms, dining room, library, and hallways. Edgar Crilly's Winnetka House Sold to G. A. Mason Edgar Crilly has sold his seven room house at the southwest corner of Lo- cust and Westmore in Winnetka to George A. Mason of Highland Park. The consideration was $35,000. Mr. Mason has purchased this property for his son.
