WINNETKA TALK January 7, 1928 Lee Says:-- WHEN your family DOCTOR fills out a PRESCRIPTION blank and HANDS it to you, it CALLS for something MORE than the materials THOSE little signs AND symbols designate-- IN the first place, IT calls for the SERVICES of a trained AND licensed pharmacist; IT also calls for the MOST careful attention TO every detail; and IT assumes that the MATERIALS are pure and J 0) \ \ oR WN Nx afi [= A & FRESH. This Store NOW, just a word about Closes at THE prescription service 10 P. M. OF Adams' Pharmacy WE have three licensed PHARMACISTS; every PRESCRIPTION is DOUBLE checked in order TO make sure every ITEM is correct; and WE have a fine and COMPLETE stock of drugs. But we have a good phone at the house--and we have never turned down a night call yet, JUST remember those POINTS when the doctor HANDS you that little PRESCRIPTION blank. Gnome ADAMS 75e Rexall Store ~ Elm & Linden ~~ WINNETKA 2 Public Forum Editor, WINNETKA TALK: In reading your issue of December 24, T notice account of a proposed new zoning measure, virtually prohibiting apartments in Winnetka. A public hearing on this matter is set for January 9, and I hope every red blooded American and lover of justice in the village will be on the job and fight this unjust ordinance. As a citizen of Winnetka for the last seventeen years, I am very proud to have seen the wonderful growth it has made in that time, and, personally, I think there is great credit due the business men for their enterprise in building the fine apartment buildings recently completed. In doing this, they have rendered a fine service to their fellowmen, in having supplied them with comfortable places in which to live, and at reasonable rental. We are not all as fortunate as some who are able to live in palaces sur- rounded by beautiful gardens, and I believe that as long as the apartments are confined to the business districts and the same standard of architectural beauty maintained, these buildings are a boon to our fair village. I am yours truly, --A Lover of Justice. "WELL, IF YOU KIN SKATE FAST ENOUGH MEBBE THIN ICE 'LL HOLD You /:--0u Rather than skate on the thin ice of doubtful supplies and bigger profits, we prefer to deal in satisfactory service. We want patrons, not transients. "Here's where your dollar gets distance." HURR sin (Open evenings 7:00 to 9:00) THE RADIO SERVICE SHOP 18 Prouty Annex Winnetka, IIL Ph. Winn. 1840 SUH MAKE THE SNOW FLY Public Works Department Labors on Holiday to Clear Streets After Year's First Big Snow Storm The Village council Tuesday evening approved the purchase of snow re- moval equipment for the Public Works department for use in connection with a rented four-ton tractor to facilitate a prompt clearing of snow from the principal thoroughfares in the village, and the removal of snow from the curb sections in the business area. This equipment was used following the recent storm, the Public Works department working continuously on New Year's day and last Monday in removing snow from the business sec- tion of the village. The motor truck plow of the Public Works department was placed in operation Friday night, working all that night, Saturday and Saturday night, clearing the main thoroughfares, such as Center street, Linden avenue in Hubbard Woods, Tower road, Elm street, Winnetka avenue, and Sheridan road. Sidewalks were cleared three times during and after the storm, with team-drawn plows. Village authorities are receiving many compliments for this service, not only from pedestrians but from the merchants as well, whose trucks were enabled by the prompt and thorough cleaning of streets to get about the village in making deliveries, a service which was also greatly appreciated by the otherwise snow-bound families. Trustee Walter: A. Strong, at the meeting of the Village council Tuesday evening, complimented the efficient work rendered by this department, de- claring Winnetka led all other Sheri- dan road cities and villages in clearing its section of that main artery of traffic. Versatile Cop Tries Hand at Aviation During Crash "Give me a motorcycle any time to a squad car," says Officer Charles M. Bemus, a regular member of the Win- netka "Indian brigade," but who is occasionally assigned to duty in the squad car. While serding with Officer Ralph Rayburn on squad duty, New Year's evening, their car was rammed by a Ford touring car bearing no license plates and driven by John Connor of 714 Center street, Winnetka. Bemus "went out on his ear" and had three ribs bruised, while Rayburn's right hand was twisted almost to the break- ino point. Connor sustained minor cuts and bruises on his right wrist, hand and knee. The accident occurred at Pine and Center streets. Connor was placed under arrest and gave bond in the sum of $200 for his appearance at the hear- ing today. Aritomiohiles Collide at Ash-Linden Intersection The first of two automobile accidents in Winnetka Friday of last week was reported by Policemen Ralph Rayburn and Chris Johannessen, in the early afternoon, when cars driven by Mrs. W. J. Schneider of 911 Vernon avenue, Glencoe, and Oscar Olson of 907 Ash street, Winnetka, collided at Ash street and Linden avenue. Both cars were considerably damaged, but neither driver was injured. _---- BROWN'S FIRST SALE Commencing January 12th, we will first sale of Furniture and Rugs. hold our 'Watch this paper next Saturday for genuine reductions.
